Polyurea Applied Over 30 Gage Galvanized Flashing

Product Number: 41212-716-SG

Author: Ernst Toussaint

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Several coating systems and designs were chosen to protect a concrete chamber with side walls coated with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material. When polyurea was identified as the coating to be used at this engineering pilot plant, which contains harsh caustic chemicals in conjunction with PVDF coated panel walls; an extensive research was conducted to determine which method will be utilized to create a seamless protective film between these two systems.

Polyurea for Potable Water – Overcoming Structural Challenges for a Successful Waterproof Lining System

Product Number: 41208-410-SG

Author: Michael C. Durbin, Sue Schroeder

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

In the early 1900’s, a small community in the mountains of western Maryland, installed two potable water tanks that were open top and below grade. Over the years, they began leaking water into the basements of nearby residences, so several upgrades to the tanks were planned. The upgrades included the addition of metal dome roofs, electronic security systems with fencing, and a waterproof lining system. Contractors were invited to view the facility and bid the lining system while the tanks were still in service – first mistake

Polyurea Geomembranes for Primary Containment over Concrete

Product Number: 41208-429-SG

Author: Robert M. Loomis, Sean D. Boeger

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Application of conventional coatings directly to concrete tanks is a common practice for the primary containment of liquids. Substituting the application of polyurea geomembranes in lieu of conventional methods exhibits a significant reduction in application time with regard to certain surface rehabilitation, surface preparation, and priming of substrates. Polyurea geomembranes are high performance liners designed for various reasons that include, but are not limited to, protection of the environment from pollution and hazardous materials or protection of the lining’s contents from vessel contamination.

Polyurea Geomembranes High Performance Seamless Liners

Product Number: 41208-430-SG

Author: Robert M. Loomis

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Although polyurea geomembranes have been successfully used in the market for several years, technical information and performance evaluations are virtually nonexistent. Furthermore, when referring to construction specifications for polyurea geomembranes, physical properties of the coating and geotextile are listed rather than those of the geomembrane. Polyurea geomembranes have unique properties, and they deserve the same comprehensive testing and reporting as the components used to form them.

Polyurea Thick-Film Elastomeric Coating/Lining Systems Accelerated Weatherometer Testing vs. Real Life Exposure

Product Number: 41210-565-SG

Author: Dudley J. Primeaux II

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

For years, people have relied upon a variety of industry accelerated testing methods in order to predict how long a coating / lining system may be useful in service. This type of testing would include heat aging, Atlas Cell immersion testing for lining products and accelerated weatherometer testing for coating systems, just to name a few. Polyurea spray applied elastomeric materials have been no exception to this type of testing. One of the most important testing evaluations has been accelerated weatherometer exposure for products used in outdoor application areas.
