What is Polyurea?

Polyurea is the latest advancement in coating technology, providing the best of all worlds. Its extreme durability makes it 20 times stronger than epoxy.

It’s chemically resistant to salt, oil, gas and other harsh chemicals. It’s 98% more flexible than epoxy, allowing for natural concrete movement – Polyurea won’t crack or peel. Polyurea coatings are more durable, install in less than half the time and are environmentally ‘green’ compared to competing epoxy coatings.

Polyurea has been utilized for over 25 years in industrial applications such as pipe/pipeline coatings, tank linings, water treatment plants, manholes, sewer linings and automotive fascia OEM molded parts. Traditional Polyurea cures in 5-15 seconds and must be spray applied to ensure proper installation. These kinds of coatings were originally developed and used in the early 1990’s. The difference between Polyurea and Citadel’s polyurea is Citadel’s Revolutionary Industry leading Single Component Polyurea Solutions, which have a longer working time and can be applied using a roller or brush.
