POLYUREA PROJECT PROFILE

PROJECT: Explosive Carriers INDUSTRY: Military USE: Anti-

Abrasion OWNER: Haliburton CONTACT: NA SYSTEM: SS COATED AREA: 1500 m2 COMPLETION DATE: 1997 RESULTS: Excellent Project Description: Transportation modules for explosives require both abrasion and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is required for life expectancy of the modules as they encounter typical explosive chemical corrosives. More important is the ability of the coating to withstand abrasion and eliminate the hazard of sparks generated by abrasion against metal surfaces. Nukote Polyureas provide the solution to both issues and were utilized to coat both the interiors and exteriors of these special carriers. A high pigment red color was utilized with ultraviolet additives to extend physicals and provide color stability. The product was applied to sand blasted steel surfaces (encapsulation) over a suitable primer.

Containment OWNER: Various CONTACT: N/A SYSTEM: Various Polyureas COATED AREA: Various COMPLETION DATE: Various RESULTS: Excellent

Project Description: The combination of Geotextile fabrics with Polyurea coating are fast becoming the preferred choice for secondary containment in many applications. The geotextile fabric is laid out with overlapping seams around the desired perimeters. Penetrations of pipes or other obstacles are easily cut around, rolling the fabric above grade and tight to the penetration or obstacle. The entire surface area is then coated with a Polyurea to the desired DFT and a seamless watertight membrane is established. Note that new mesh products provide even more durable bases then geotextile fabrics and allow for lower DFT applications thus reducing overall costs while maintaining quality.

CONTACT: Wyatt Rankin,

001-907-746-5195 SYSTEM: SS100 2.5 mm COATED AREA: 70,000 ft² COMPLETION DATE: 1996 INSPECTION RESULTS: Excellent JOB DESCRIPTION: A direct quote from a Petro Marine project manager, “After looking for several years into liners for tank farms, we have found this to be the best liner on the market today. It has the advantage of not having to have a sand covering on top, which will give us 100% monitoring ability daily and the ability to clean up any fuels without contaminating the ground cover over a buried liner. The second reason this liner is superior is we can visually examine the integrity of the liner at anytime. There is not a buried liner anywhere that can be examined or determined to be leak tight. In most cases on seamed, rolled liners the seams start coming off in a couple of years.” The project involved four tank farms throughout Alaska, USA each farm containing numerous tanks and piping for a variety of fuels. All floors and walls are concrete and were covered with 2.5 mm of SS100 over geo-textile fabric. The perimeter of the metal tanks were abraded, primed and masked to .3 m from the ground. The geo-textile was used to counter-flash of the tank chines as an expansion joint. SS100 was then sprayed to the masked line on the tank.

PROJECT: Insulated Tanks INDUSTRY: Manufacturing USE: Primary

Containment OWNER: Multiple CONTACT: Multiple SYSTEM: Polyurea / Foam COATED AREA: Various COMPLETION DATE: Various RESULTS: Excellent Project Description: Many manufacturing processes require insulated storage tanks either during processing or for storage of the completed product. Application of insulation and then shielding the insulation from weather, moisture, etc., with aluminum or steel has been the common method utilized in the past. Pre-insulated composites that use spray applied polyurethane foam and polyurea outer jacketing are fast making the older method obsolete. Spray applied polyurethane foam is one of the best insulators available, far exceeding fiberglass, mineral wool or other standard insulation medias. The foam adheres readily to steel or concrete surfaces without primers and is inexpensive. Polyurea chemically cross-links with polyurethane foams providing a strong bond without primers as well. This system is durable, efficient and cost effective while providing long life expectancy to the end user. Contact your Nukote representative to calculate insulation and coating thickness required for your projects specific needs.

PROJECT: Cold Storage Applications INDUSTRY: Food Processing USE: Insulation & Coating OWNER: Various CONTACT: Nukote SYSTEM: Foam / Polyureas COATED AREA: Various COMPLETION DATE: Various RESULTS: Excellent Project Description: For the food processing industry, cold storage is a critical part of their business. Reducing energy costs while providing efficient, durable and easily cleanable storage for processed goods is of primary concern. The use of spray applied PU Foam with Polyurea has provided important solutions to this industry over the past decade. Polyurethane foam is one of the most energy efficient insulators available. PU foam readily adheres to concrete and steel, is pour able, inject able and spray able and bonds with polyureas without the need for primers. These characteristics allow conversion of concrete, wood or steel structures for use as cold storage at minimal costs. The seamless polyurea surface is approved for use with food contact by the USDA and is steam cleanable. Polyurea can be applied at the coldest temperatures yet there are several cold application foam and polyurea formulations designed specifically for this industry.
