Waterproofing Concrete with Polyurea Coatings
Modern technology results in the production of multitudes of items to make products and our lives better. The use of Polyurea Coatings has been around for over thirty years. During that time, companies such as Chemline, with its formulation laboratory, have continued to improve on the use and durability of this amazing product. Waterproofing Concrete has enhanced the areas in which concrete can be used, as well as extending its life expectancy.
These coatings can be applied to a variety of different substrates, including metals and wood as well as concrete. Its adaptability to temperature and humidity increases the users ability to use it in a number of environments.
Ideal for Waterproofing Concrete applications and secondary containment, the compounds can be applied directly to a primed concrete surface or geotextile membranes. Not only are they tough and fast setting, they have superior tensile strength. They are also VOC free, which means no volatile organic compounds will emit gases that can slowly cause chronic health problems.

Consisting of 100% solids, the coating of polyurea has no VOCs. Safely apply it to prepared, primed concrete. Secondary containment applications are enhanced due to the flexible, durable, seamless liner that's formed. Waterproofing Concrete prevents leaks, and promotes the containment of fuel, wastewater, and many chemicals. It is safely used around water ponds, landfills, and fuel loading and unloading stations.
Besides sidewalks, another heavy area of concrete to waterproof is the parking garage. Parking garages can be built in different designs, some with open areas around the outside that allow wind and weather access. Others have stairways that are open to the sky. That allows rain and snow to fall on driving and walking areas, causing ice and dangerous, slippery conditions.
There are three primary benefits for treating a parking garage using polyurea. One is that other additives, including slip resistant and rough texture tendencies, can be added. The second benefit is safety and possible insurance premium reductions. The third is that the treatment is accomplished so quickly; business downtime is minimal when compared to other methods of waterproofing.
Chemline produces exceptional fast set and standard cure polyurethanes, polyureas and epoxy coatings. That lets anyone searching for products enabling Waterproofing Concrete to use those that are designed to work together. NACE certified coatings inspectors and polymer chemists provide Quality Control service and laboratory production.
