Product Description

THE SPRAY APPLIED, ELASTOMERIC COATING THAT CAN BE PUT INTO SERVICE IN MINUTES.

The technology of Polyurea sprayed elastomers is based on amine - terminated polyether resins, amine chain extenders and isocyanates. It provides a flexible monolithic extremely tough elastomer with good physical properties, high degrees of thermal and hydrolytic stabilities and excellent water and chemical resistance.

Features

• ARMOUR - CHEM spray is a seamless membrane that can be handled and walked on one minute or less from the time it is sprayed
• ARMOUR - CHEM spray is hydrophobic and therefore unaffected by damp substrates when creating non - bonded liners. It can be sprayed at temperatures as low as -30° C with minimal effect on tack free time
• Due to the almost instantaneous gel of ARMOUR - CHEM spray, it can be built up to any thickness in one application including vertical and overhead applications. This eliminates the need for multicoat applications
• ARMOUR - CHEM spray is 100% solids, no solvents, no V.O.C.s
• The cured elastomer has a high thermal stability with constant working temperatures up to 130° C and intermittent temperatures up to 160° C
• ARMOUR - CHEM spray can be applied with a standard 1 : 1 ratio plural component high pressure machine ( capable of developing 2000 psi ). Consult Isothane technical staff for a specific recommendation. The Polyurea exhibits a high service temperature due to its amorphous structure. The coating will stand an in service temperature range of -50° to +130° C

Some Recommended Uses

• Fish boat holds
• Earth containment lining
• Tank linings for primary and secondary containment
• Roof coatings for metal decks
• Steel tanks, silos and pipes
• Hail, bird and traffic protection over polyurethane foam
• Encapsulant for styrofoam and other types of floatation
• Liner for concrete tanks, ponds, lagoons, reservoirs, dykes, irrigation ditches, tunnels, barges, etc.

Material Specification

Liquid Components

Due to the large diversity of uses for the Polyurea, the material can be supplied in various colours. Specials are available subject to minimum order quantities. It should be noted that Polyurea spray is based on aromatic amines, therefore with certain shades over a period of time, changes in colour and superficial oxidation can occur.
