Polyurea coatings, such as LINE-X, are widely used in a wide variety of industries. They are often used to prevent corrosion, impact damage, and resist abrasion, and provide a reliable waterproof lining to roofs, pipes, tanks, etc. Compared to epoxy coatings, polyurea is greatly superior in temperature resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, UV resistance (for aliphatic coatings), moisture resistance, and durability. Moreover, polyurea coatings have superior moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and durability compared to polyurethane. The increasing requirements for improving the performance, ease of use, and durability of the products are important factors contributing to the polyurea coatings market growth.
For instance, in October 2020, PPG launched the PPG SaniShield DTM 3000/5000 two-part polyurea coating for walls and ceilings in industrial environments where quick installation and easy maintenance are critical, such as food and beverage facilities. SaniShield is an alternative to stainless-steel and fiberglass wall and ceiling systems that fills minor cracks in the substrate material to enhance surface integrity and durability. Furthermore, Teknos launched a two-component elastomeric coating TEKNOPUR 400 developed on modified polyurea technology, a cost-efficient option for waterproofing and creating durable roof and concrete surfaces. Such initiatives market players are also responsible for the polyurea coatings market growth... Read more
