OVERVIEW
Polyurea Coatings
Polyurea coatings are advanced waterproofing and protective coating systems used for roof waterproofing, tank lining, concrete protection, and infrastructure rehabilitation across the UAE. Their seamless application, rapid curing, and durable performance make them suitable for commercial, industrial, infrastructure, defense, offshore, and onshore projects.
Problems this system solves
Engineered against real failure modes.
Long downtime for repairs
Cures in seconds; assets back in service within hours instead of days.
UV, heat & chemical exposure
Aliphatic/hybrid systems resist UV, abrasion and aggressive chemicals.
Tank & containment failures
Monolithic lining for potable water, irrigation, and secondary containment.

See it in action
A monolithic membrane, sprayed in seconds.
Two-component pure polyurea is plural-component sprayed at high pressure and temperature, curing on contact to form a seamless, elastomeric waterproof membrane. No joints, no overlaps, no cold-pour failures — just a fully bonded skin that flexes with the substrate.

Types of polyurea coatings
01
What is polyurea?
Polyurea is a two-component coating made by reacting an isocyanate with a resin blend through high-pressure heated spray equipment. It reacts within seconds to form a seamless, flexible, waterproof and impact-resistant membrane that protects concrete, steel, fibreglass and industrial substrates in demanding environments.
02
Pure polyurea
Contains no polyurethane additives — the highest-performing system for waterproofing and protective coatings.
- Extremely fast cure
- High elongation and crack bridging
- Superior waterproofing performance
- High chemical and abrasion resistance
- Used on roofs, water and irrigation tanks, podiums, industrial facilities and blast mitigation
03
Hybrid polyurea
Combines polyurea and polyurethane chemistry to balance flexibility, adhesion and cost.
- Improved workability and good flexibility
- Economical, durable waterproofing
- Used for general waterproofing, industrial coatings and maintenance systems
04
Aromatic polyurea
Used for internal or non-UV-exposed applications where strength and cost-efficiency matter most. Under direct sunlight the surface gradually shifts from grey to a yellow/amber tone — this is purely cosmetic and does not affect waterproofing, elongation or mechanical performance.
- High mechanical performance
- Excellent waterproofing
- Cost-effective protection
- UV exposure causes yellowing only — performance unchanged
- Used on underground structures, tank linings and internal waterproofing
05
Aliphatic polyurea
Engineered for UV stability and colour retention on exposed surfaces.
- UV resistance and colour stability
- Weather durability
- Decorative-finish compatibility
- Used on exposed roofs, architectural coatings and decorative protection systems

Polyurea is a 100% solids, plural-component elastomer that cures in seconds via amine + isocyanate reaction. Versus polyurethane it offers faster cure, higher elongation, and superior chemical/UV resistance (in aliphatic grades).
