BASF POLYUREA CHEMICALS
For coating of surfaces, the high-tech Polyurea system Elastocoat® is unbeatable. Whether used on parking decks, loading ramps or chemical tanks, water tanks Elastocoat® Polyurea provides enduring protection. Also for facades and roofs, Elastocoat® provides lasting protection and is rapidly applied, too.
Elastocoat®
Elastocoat® is the high-tech spraying system from BASF for the reliable and lasting protection of all surfaces, be they of wood, concrete, bitumen or steel. The high-pressure spraying system can be applied to virtually all substrates with a corresponding primer and cures extra fast. While other materials take a long time to through-harden, Elastocoat® is tack-free in just a few seconds and cures fully in two hours. With its properties, it is the ideal solution for many challenges – as a quick, efficient and lasting seal.
Protection Against Corrosion and Durable Sealing with High-tech Polyurea
Biogenic sulphuric acid generated by the bacteria Thiobacillus in gas-sealed manholes rapidly leads to heavy concrete corrosion. Washed concrete appearance and decomposed metal components are typical signs of damage such as corrosion, crack formation and leakage. The result can be instability of the structure as well as infiltration.
Attack by acids can be stopped by the seamlessly sprayed barrier film of 2K Polyurea Elastocoat®.
River Bank Stabilization and Flood Prevention
What has already proven successful in coastal protection can also be used on river banks and canals. The goal here is also to create a strong and near-natural revetment to consolidate shore zones and stabilize them against traffic-induced waves and – as in the case of the Elbe River – against the tides.
In waterway engineering, there is also the possibility of underwater installation where the rock-PU mix, after sufficient reaction time, is poured into the water close to the bank and compacted. The principle is just as simple as for dike construction and protects the banks from disintegration and damage due to strong currents.
