Polyurethane Elastomerics

Definition

Polyurethane elastomerics are synthetic polymer liquids with elastic properties that can be applied as coatings or sealants.

Purpose

Polyurethane elastomerics are used for waterproofing, sealing, and protecting surfaces. Their elastic properties allow them to expand and contract with the substrate, providing durable and flexible protection.

Examples of Use

• Roof Coatings: Used to create waterproof and UV-resistant roof membranes.
• Joint Sealants: Applied to seal expansion joints in concrete and other structures.
• Protective Coatings: Used on industrial equipment and structures to prevent corrosion and wear.

Related Terms

• Elastomer: A material with elastic properties, allowing it to return to its original shape after deformation.
• Sealant: A material used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints.
• Coating: A layer applied to the surface of an object for protection or decoration.

Notes

• Application: Can be applied using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment, depending on the specific product and application.
• Properties: Provides excellent adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to weathering and chemicals.
