The global polyurea coatings market is reported to be worth roughly $2 billion by 2030. This market growth has made polyurea more popular and it’s why more people are using it, but what are the benefits of using polyurea coatings for your floors?

Polyurea concrete coating can be a great protective material to use on flooring, particularly with all of the benefits that it offers. The problem is that not everyone knows how effective it can be.

This means that people end up choosing a floor coating that isn’t as beneficial for them. The thing is that if you don’t have the right floor coating then this can lead to a lot of flooring problems and that is the last thing that you want.

The good news is that at Shield Industrial Coatings we have covered the top benefits of polyurea coatings.

So if you would like to learn about how polyurea flooring can benefit you, then keep reading.

1. Polyurea Is More Durable

Perhaps the biggest benefit of polyurea flooring is the fact that it is so durable. This is because of the unique material that it is made out of.

The material that makes up polyurea is a synthetic polymer obtained from the reaction of diamine and diisocyanate. This reaction causes a firm material that is very resistant and can’t be easily broken or damaged.

As this coating is used in places that require hard flooring for example garage floors, it is perfect for this environment. Polyurea industrial protective coatings can be used to protect and seal flooring.

Once the coating is applied to the floor it creates a very thick durable layer.

This adds some extra protection to the flooring below it so that it cannot become damaged. It is even scratch-resistant, meaning that even if sharp objects are scraped against it no harm will come to the floor below it.

This is just one of the benefits that makes polyurea floor coating a top choice for coating as it offers much more protection than many other options.

2. Slip Resistant

Another huge benefit to using polyurea floor is that it is slip resistant. This can go a long way because some people find that their floors may be hard and well protected however they can often be very slippery.

When this happens it can become a hazard for all workers and anyone who uses the floor. Not only this but it can also be an insurance risk for some businesses because someone could have an injury on their property which potentially creates a legal case.

Having a slip-resistant floor can also mean that you can store objects and items on the floor without risking them having a lack of support. There are certain cases whenever people place items on a slippery floor and they end up falling over or even breaking.

This is can be dangerous, particularly whenever the flooring is sitting at a slant or on an uneven surface. The good news is that mobile spray rigs can be used to apply the coating to areas that are more slippery or that need more specific attention.

3. It Cures Quickly

Aside from it being slip-resistant, polyurea floor coating also cures quickly. This means that if you need to have your floor ready within a short period of time then you will be able to do this.

Many businesses use a coating for their flooring and this can stop the production of their business for a couple of days. For example, this can affect businesses in the oil or gas industry and the automotive industry.

Businesses may lose money if they aren’t able to complete the tasks that they need to complete on their floor space.

However, with polyurea floor coating, business owners don’t need to worry about this. Instead, they can be up and running very quickly with a brand new hard durable floor.

You can walk on polyurea floor coating in as little as 8 hours after applying it and you can drive vehicles on it within only 24 hours.

This is a huge benefit compared to most other floor coatings takes at least 24 hours before you can walk on them and roughly 7 days before a vehicle can drive on them.

4. Easy Maintenance

Alongside polyurea curing quickly, the maintenance for polyurea is very low. Also, it doesn’t require a large amount of effort to use spray equipment to reapply the coating.

This is because polyurea lasts for quite a large amount of time. It lasts for as long as 15 years or potentially even more in some cases.

Because the floor can last for so long it can be years before you may need to do any maintenance work on the floor. Particularly if the floor has been kept well and there is no damage to it. However, some other floor coatings may require regular maintenance.

Not only this, the lifespan of polyurea coatings outlasts many other floor coating options. For example, epoxy floor coating generally lasts for around 10 years and it can become damaged much sooner meaning that the lifespan may not even be as long as 10 years.
