5. Company’s
BackgroundBlast It Clean It Paint It expanded into Polyurea Coatings for all our clients in 04/05
which has now led us into the field of Road & Railway Bridge, Rail & Road Tunnel Lining
& Waterproofing Service Systems. These systems are also provided for the Primary &
Secondary Containment within the Water Industry. These systems provide rapid,
abrasion & chemical resistant solutions for waterproofing these critical infrastructure
projects. We are able to provide a holistic turnkey solutions for major & minor
infrastructure projects.
Bomb Blast Mitigation as well as Structural Strengthening of Critical Infrastructure is
something that can be provided on a needs basis using these systems.
Blast It Clean It Paint It we the first Australasian contractors to introduce Sodium Bi-
Carbonate Technology (Bi-Carb) abrasive blasting & cleaning in the early 90's. Since then
our company has taken this technology into the Marine, Defence, Petrochemical Industry
& local Government with great success.
From CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) projects in the Petrochemical Industry to
abrasive blasting & painting of a Russian Foxtrot Class Submarine whilst in transit
between countries and sealing of Dams with Polyurea prior to spilling has put our
Company among pioneer leaders when it comes to undertaking extremely large & difficult
logistical projects.
With that in mind our systems combined with our knowledge on major projects is why

7. What is Polyurea
Polyurea is a thick, elastomeric urethane coating
which needs to be professionally sprayed-on by
experienced applicators between 762µm to 50,800µm
(30 mil to 2,000mil).
8. What is Polyurea
Polyurea is a truly remarkable coating, lining and joint sealant technology, being successfully used
for a large variety of commercial/industrial applications. Polyurea coatings and linings are
commonly applied over concrete and steel for corrosion protection and abrasion resistance. Why?
They have tremendous advantages over conventional coating materials, as they can be used to repair
cracking in concrete, the coating is dry in 10 seconds (even at below 0°C), capable of expanding up to
700% and has proven extreme durability/abrasion resistance. It outlasts, out performs all previous
coating methods.
Polyureas major benefit is its fast set nature. Application time is significantly reduced, enabling the
owner to put the facility back into use immediately, rather than waiting days and weeks for old
fashion coatings to cure, meaning less down time.
Down time for maintenance and coatings on water tanks, waste-water clarifiers, parking garages and
chemical storage tanks and bunds etc, costs the facility owners a great deal of money since these
areas must be taken out of service. Polyurea significantly reduces this down time.
Polyurea, perfect for applications in Industrial environments, where large scale, heavy duty coating
solutions are required.

15. Advantages using
Polyurea
Polyurea is a permanent solution to your problems.
It’s thick, full coverage application typically requires
little or no down time, unlike paint products which
have a short performance life and require your assets
to be removed from service again and again.
Polyurea is more than a maintenance-free solution to
your needs... it’s a great looking coating! When image
is important, Polyurea will make you proud of your
assets. And most important, Polyurea keeps your
investment looking new longer.

17. Polyurea on Piers & Wharves
In addition to the benefits provided by the physical
properties of Polyurea, BCP can set up coating facilities at
the project site reducing excessive transportation costs.
Pilings coated with Polyurea can be put into service within
hours of coatings & are virtually damage proof during
installation. The installed pilings are easily capped with
the same polymer, producing a seamless coating to protect
the piling well beyond the expected life of other coating
options. In retrofit applications the extremely fast cure
times allows for application in the splash zone during the
tidal shifts. For port restoration projects, Polyurea is an
ideal choice.

Water Treatment
Applications
Polyurea physical properties are tailor made for the Water
supply & treatment plants. No VOC content ensures no
effect on potable water systems when used internally with
tanks or pipes. Polyurea has the ability to withstand
corrosive chemical conditions (Hydrogen Sulphide) allow
it to outperform other sewage treatment coatings.
Polyurea can be used in manholes, concrete bunds &
concrete sewage & wastewater piping systems
20. Oil & Gas Industries
Usage
Polyurea is a unique product that can serve the oil and gas industry in many ways.
These services are currently being used overseas by such companies as Chevron,
Conoco-Phillips and Shell Oil Company to name just a few. They have all discovered
the wonderful product of polyurea and the many advantages it has for their
individual operations.
What can polyurea and Blast It Clean It Paint It P/L do for your company? This
innovative product can save oil and gas companies, lease owners and refineries
money! Pipes, pipelines, tanks and equipment are expensive to replace once they
have been corroded and disfigured. Prevent corrosion and, renew damaged surfaces,
at a fraction of the cost of replacement with polyurea coating . Most common uses in
the oil and gas industry to be coated include, but not limited to:
· Pipes and pipelines
· Interior and Exterior Coating of primary and secondary containment
· Fuel storage
· Repair of leaking tanks and pipes
· Flooring and decks
· Oil Field Compressors
21. POLYUREA THE
IDEAL CHOICE
Polyureas’ strengths are tailored to fill the gaps left by
traditional coating products used in the oil and gas
industry and is therefore the ideal coating product for
the oil and gas industry’s many coating needs from
pipelines to primary and secondary containment.
The main physical properties of polyurea explain
their success overseas in the oil and gas industry.
22. What is the Cost?

application costs.
Does it dampen Vibrations?
Polyurethane thermal plastic helps dampen vibrations. The product is flexible enough to absorb
a degree of movement between components.
26. FAQ’s
Does Polyurea have Unlimited Thickness?
Polyurea can be sprayed on from a 1mm thickness to 200mm, depending on your
requirements.
What is the Drying Time?
Professionally applied, the surface dries in 3 to 5 seconds. In the first five minutes the
product achieves 90% of its hardness and tensile strength. Within 24 hours the product
has achieved 100% of its curing requirements.
What type of surface preparation is required?
Polyurea requires a clean surface to bond to. The surface will require sand blasting, high-
pressure cleaning or acid etching prior to application. The product can then be applied
with an airless spray unit giving it a 1000 microns (1mm) thickness in only one pass. Thus
enabling quick application time.
What type of Chemical Resistant does it provide?
Polyurea is resistant to most solvents, acids, pool chlorine, auto fuel, diesel fuel, paints,
bleaches, organic solvents, fertilisers and much more.
What type of bonds does Polyurea adhere to?
Polyurea can bond to most surfaces - steel, aluminium, timber, concrete, fibreglass,
rubber, polystyrene and plastic surfaces.
