| If you are like
most people, you have never heard of Polyurea
lining systems. The old standards
have consisted primarily of Epoxy and Polyurethane
liners. If you haven't received the greatest
results from these methods in the past, you
must read on! Polyurea used as a liner is a
relatively new idea. It was developed by chemist
Dudley Primeaux in the late 1980's. He was
acting on a hunch that a sprayed Polyurea would
work
as a protective coating. His |

hunch payed off. Over 10 years later, chemists
are developing polyurea hybrids and urethanes
that are being used for many different protective
and lining systems in a number of industries.
The potential uses for these products are unlimited.
The advantages of using Polyurea lining systems
are quite simple. The most common complaint heard
with other liners, such as epoxy, is that they
tend to crack under duress. This can be attributed
to the fact that they do not possess any expansion
or contraction capabilities. The physical characteristics
of Polyurea liners are far superior to anything
else on the market. Not only do they have the
ability to expand/contract, but they also can
handle extreme temperatures ranging from -40 Fahrenheit
to 350 degrees Fahrenheit without any physical
changes to the liner. It will eliminate freight
damage from water leakage (no cracks!). This liner
will extend the life of whatever it may be applied
to.
