2. Polyurea Vs Polyurethane /Epoxy
• Polyureas are closely related to polyurethanes. Both are two component systems made with Isocyanate-
based materials. However, while the second component in polyurethane is polyol resin, the second
component in polyurea is a polyether amine.
• In terms of performance, conventional polyurethanes require a catalyst, which is sensitive to
temperatures and moisture. Low temperatures can slow the reaction and moisture can interfere with the
reaction causing blistering and other negative effects. Polyureas, on the other hand do not require a
catalyst. Reactivity for these coatings is fast, typically 3-10 seconds. Consequently they are able to cure
at temperatures as low as -20 C and in the presence of moisture.
• In terms of performance, unlike polyureas, epoxies require a catalyst. They are sensitive to temperature,
humidity and moisture, giving them a narrow window for application. Unlike polyureas, epoxies have
extensive cure time and little or no elongation properties. This leads to frequent failure of the coating with
expansion or movement of the substrate
