What is Urethane?
Urethane is a chemical compound used in many everyday items. When used in liquid form, it makes great sealants and coating for commercial building applications. It’s a versatile material that has been widely used in the waterproofing industry. Urethane sealant is an excellent choice for sealing various types of surfaces, such as concrete, metal, and wood. It is a highly durable material that can withstand extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Benefits
- Versatility: This sealant can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, metal, wood, and plastic, and can be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
- Durability: Urethane sealant is highly resistant to weather and abrasion, making it a long-lasting choice for sealing joints and gaps. Urethane sealant is also resistant to water, oil, and chemicals, which makes it a popular choice for sealing parking garages, industrial structures, and other areas that come into contact with these substances.
- Flexibility: One of the main benefits of urethane sealant is its flexibility. Urethane sealant remains flexible even in extreme temperatures, allowing it to expand and contract without cracking or breaking.
- Adhesion: Urethane sealant forms a strong bond with surfaces, providing excellent adhesion and preventing moisture from penetrating joints and gaps, in return, protecting your commercial building from water infiltration.
- Paintability: These sealants can be painted over once it has cured, allowing it to blend seamlessly with surrounding surfaces.
Uses
The compound is a vital ingredient in many types of sealants and coatings. Some of the most common uses of this sealant in the waterproofing industry include sealing joints in concrete structures, such as parking garages. It is also used to seal roofs, walls, and other surfaces that are exposed to the elements. This sealant is an excellent choice for these applications because it can provide a long-lasting, watertight seal that can withstand harsh weather conditions.
Urethane is a great option for many applications and brings many benefits to the table. Whether you need to seal an expansion joint or the concrete in your parking garage, urethane sealant is a reliable and durable solution that can provide long-lasting protection.
