Coating for ships with polyurea

Corrosion and wear protection is often vital, especially in the shipping industry. Wind, waves and salt water can gnaw away at ship components like the proverbial ravages of time – only faster and more profoundly. To extend the life expectancy of ship decks or sides, there are coatings for ships with polyurea.

At sea as well as in lakes operate a wide variety of ships. Commercial shipping with its huge freighters, private yachts as well as sea rescue vessels – they are all expensive investments that need to be protected in the long term against the vagaries of the weather and many other things by coating them with polyurea.

Advantages of coating for ships with polyurea

Whether salt water or chemicals carried on board – ship surfaces have to withstand the highest stresses. Therefore, skippers and shipowners think very carefully about which coating is the most practical for ships. A polyurea coating has numerous benefits for your vessel and for your maintenance budget:

• Polyurea is solvent-free
• Polyurea is UV stable
• Polyurea is heat resistant and water vapor diffusible
• Polyurea has an extensibility of 300 to 600 percent
• Polyurea has a very high tensile strength
• Polyurea has high wear resistance
• Polyurea is odorless

You see, a marine coating with polyurea can provide high-quality protection from damage to everything from cutters to luxury sailing vessels. The cost of wear parts coated in this way will be lower than before.

Polyurea is suitable for the low temperature range

Ocean and North Sea shipping is booming. There are usually heavy loads for a ship. If superstructures become detached due to waves or gales, they can hit the deck with force. A coating for ships with polyurea gives a deck very high impact strength. The force is also mechanically dissipated by the wide coating.

Also coat part or all of your galley with polyurea. The material ensures easy cleaning and is particularly resistant to oils and greases. Exterior treatments provide a high level of protection even in the low temperature range.

Polyurea coatings are usually available in all RAL colors. Thus, with a polyurea coating, you can not only protect your vessel, but also visually customize it to your liking.
