Polyurea Coating and Its Growth Potential
Polyurea Coating and Its Growth Potential
The market for polyurea coating depends largely on the growth of commercial end-use sectors. The main uses of polyurea coating include wet-siding, roofing, bonded surface coating and other concrete finishes, among many others. Polyurea coating itself is not a new material; it has been in use since the early 1950s for a variety of concrete finishes. It was then discovered that polyurea can be applied as a finish to concrete, which greatly contributed to its popularity among many commercial concrete finish application. The polyurea coating thus proved to be quite useful for numerous concrete finishing application.
Polyurea is made from the combination of several chemicals, including isocyanates. Generally, these chemicals are blended together with isocyanates. Isocyanates are known for their strong chemical resistance. Thus, it is very important that the combination of chemicals is correct in order to produce high quality polyurea coating. As this is the case, a large number of polyurea coating manufacturers are working all around the globe in order to provide polyurea coating with the best mixture of chemicals, which in turn helps to increase the quality and the durability of polyurea coating.
The manufacturers make use of several techniques to manufacture polyurea coatings. Most of these techniques are used to ensure that the manufacturing process is efficient and also to improve the quality of the final product. There are mainly three techniques used to manufacture polyurea coating. These are heat treatment, solvents and cold heating.
A notable fact about polyurea coating in South Korea and in other parts of the world is that the material is generally made by hand. This means that during manufacturing process, each and every coating is manufactured based upon the specifications provided by customers. In this way, we can say that each and every coating produced is unique. Thus, the uniqueness of a particular coating and its usefulness depends upon the specifications provided by customers in the form of color, texture, gloss and matte.
Polyureas are generally applied as additives to various products. Some examples include tires, butadiene and polyurethane finishes. In case of tires, polyurea coatings provide durable, slip-resistant and weather-proof finish to the tire. In the case of butadiene and polyurethane finishes, the polyurea coats provide protection against corrosion, which is especially useful in case of chemical agents. In fact, these coatings are used as sunscreen agent for automotive industries, power generation plants, chemical factories, and petroleum refineries.
Although polyurea is an expensive coating, it provides tremendous benefits to industries and its customers, such as its durability and low cost. Thus, we can say that the demand and market share analysis of polyurea in the Middle East will continue to grow dynamically in the coming years. This means that there is scope for huge sales growth in the Middle East and in the u.s. as well. Thus, this coating has great potential to gain significant market share in the years ahead.
