Polyurea for Special Applications: Marine, Automotive, Defense and Wind Energy

Epaflex developed high-performance aromatic (pure and hybrid) and aliphatic polyurea systems to meet the needs of segments where extreme resistance, structural protection and durability are essential. These cutting-edge technologies are used in shipbuilding, automotive, special transport and military vehicles applications, since they give unique solutions in terms of waterproofing, impact protection and resistance to aggressive chemicals and high mechanical stresses.

Polyurea for the Naval Sector

Surfaces exposed to seawater and mechanical stress need to be protected by properly designed coatings. Epaflex polyurea is the ideal solution for maritime environments thanks to its excellent barrier properties and long-lasting durability.

Main applications include:

  • Waterproofing boat decks: resistance to salt, impact and vibration.
  • Swimming pools and tanks on ship’s deck: continuous, joint-free coating, with high resistance to chemicals.
  • Drinking water tanks and reservoirs: to keep water safe and clean
  • Wastewater tanks: high chemical resistance for aggressive environments and treatment processes.

Advantages:

  • Quick application even on large surfaces
  • Maximum adhesion to steel, aluminum, wood and composite materials
  • Long-term corrosion protection
  • Easy maintenance and renovation

Polyurea for Automotive, Trucks and Industrial Bodywork

Polyurea is widely used in the automotive sector as a high-performance protective coating, particularly in pick-ups and commercial vehicles, since it builds very effective impact-resistant, abrasion-resistant and waterproof barriers.

Main applications:

  • Trucks and pick-ups loading areas: impact and waterproof protection.
  • Van and industrial vehicle floors: non-slip coating, resistant to heavy loads and chemicals.
  • Offroad vehicles underbody protection: anti-corrosion, impact-resistant barrier resistant to debris and gravel.
  • Armored defense vehicles: anti-blasting coating, together with other materials, to absorb shock waves, contain fragments and increase structural safety.

Technological benefits:

  • Extreme resistance to abrasion and impact
  • Permanent elasticity even at low temperatures
  • Seamless application with no joints
  • Lightweight, high-performance protection, ideal for special vehicles
