<p style="margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Noto Sans', Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', Oxygen, 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">Polyurea is a type of elastomer that is derived from the reaction of an isocyanate component with a resin blend component. The result is a material that is highly resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for protective coatings. Unlike traditional coatings, polyurea is spray-applied, which allows for a seamless, monolithic membrane that adheres strongly to various substrates.

<p style="margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Noto Sans', Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', Oxygen, 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">Polyurea is formed through a step-growth polymerization process, where an isocyanate reacts with an amine-terminated resin. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, and it occurs very quickly, often within seconds. The rapid reaction time is one of the key features that set polyurea apart from other coatings, such as polyurethanes, which have slower curing times.
