VERSACOAT POLYUREA COATINGS
Walford services have been instrumental in developing the more specialist arms of its company.
We now have a technically trained and implemented resin injection team to deal with the increasing number of water ingress problems reported by customers and as a pre-cursor to the Versacoat waterproofing and protection system.
The development of the Versacoat system in partnership with its partners in the UK moves the company into new territories as far as speed and longevity of application. Our applicators are both approved and certified in the disciplines of coating and waterproofing steel and concrete, with the minimum of disruption and down time to projects.
It is being used successfully for so many different applications today. Polyurea coatings and linings are more commonly applied over concrete and steel for corrosion protection and abrasion resistance. They also have tremendous advantages over conventional materials for joint fill and caulk applications due to their fast set nature, high elongation and durability/abrasion characteristics. Polyurea can be moulded and shaped by spraying it into moulds. Similarly, polyurea is also used as hard coat protective shell over expanded polystyrene (EPS) for architectural moulded fascia applications.
The markets and applications are endless and rapidly on the rise. Polyurea's future uses are limited only to one’s imagination!
The main issue everyone must understand is that Polyurea by name is not a specific coating system or a specification, it is a description of a polymer TECHNOLOGY. A great technology that boasts so many different formulations and physical property ranges. There are pure Polyurea’s (defined by the PDA) and there are hybrid polyurea systems, each possessing their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
