Polyurea Definition
A pure polyurea coating/ lining is derived from the reaction product of a polyisocyanate component and an amine-terminated resin blend.
As per the Polyurea Development Association (PDA), 2007
From the PDA Definition:
- Two–part system
- One part is and isocyanate component
- Reactive isocyanate groups (-NCO)
- Other part is an amine blend component
- Reactive group is amine (primary or secondary)
- (-NH2 or –NH-)
Reaction of the 2 components yields a urea linkage
