Polyurea For Flat Leaky Roofs

One of the most common and costly issues commercial buildings face is a flat leaky roof. Not surprisingly, most property owners do not have the expertise (or desire) to get onto their roofs and look for problems themselves. A leaky roof can damage your building and threaten your safety. Constant water intrusion will eventually work down from the roof area to the actual foundation of the building, causing plenty of costly damages on the way. To prevent these types of damages, we recommend Polyurea.

Polyurea, a very wide range of synthetic rubber compounds, is used in flat roofing. These products work best when sprayed onto roofs or mounted directly onto the roofing material itself. After the roofing material dries, the applied Polyurea starts working to keep the water from refreezing.

Using the wrong or insufficient amount of Polyurea will not only cause your roof to leak, but it will also have adverse effects on the roof's other properties. Flat roofs are commonly known for producing ice damming, which causes the water to back up into the roofing structure. This is a real headache to all concerned. By following our advice, you will avoid this hassle and keep your building safe and sound.

Some people choose to self-apply Polyurea by mounting the roofing solution directly onto their roofing material itself. This is relatively simple to do, and we don't feel this is the best way to apply the product. Also, self-applying Polyurea will not allow it to dry overnight, and it will not allow your roof to dry evenly. We recommend that you call in a professional Flat Roofing company, which offers the best solutions for flat roofs. These professionals have the knowledge and experience to create a safe and efficient roofing method that will allow your roof to stay flat for a long period of time without worry.

There are so many reasons why you should choose to hire a professional Flat Roofing company. Aside from creating a professional roofing method, they also tend to perform a better job. Flat Roofing companies have the experience to know how to care for a roof.

In addition to this, your flat roof will be protected by a professional roofing solution. Many people are not prepared for the harsh weather, and Flat Roofing companies have the experience to know how to best take care of your roof. They can also remove any remaining ice from your roof in the winter, and they will do so in a way that won't damage the roof structure itself. A professional Flat Roofing company will also offer guarantees, warranties, and warranties that are unmatched in the industry. Many companies offer a lifetime warranty on their products, and this type of guarantee is unheard of in the flat roofing industry.

Many people are unprepared for how dangerous Flat Roofing can be; many don't take the proper precautions and end up needing to have their roof removed and replaced. Having a professional Flat Roofing company to do this work for you is worth the money.

 

Foundation Waterproofing With Polyurea

One of the reasons that you see many relatively new homes faltering to the point of collapse is because they weren't properly sealed in the first place. When you pair unsealed foundations with a high-moisture environment, the result is a rapidly decaying foundation. In the past excuses could be made, we didn't know as much as we do now and resources like polyurea coating weren't as well known or utilized.

But the truth of the matter is that with advances in technology that have come along in the last 100 years, this type of foundation protection was as much a part of the plan as it was for the early days. And the advances and innovations in the field have come a long way since then. Now, it is as much a part of the plan as it was in the early days. And it looks like it will be a part of the plan for a very long time. In the late 1980s, when polyurea coatings first became widely utilized, it was the kind of protection available that it didn't do as well as people expected. They expected to have better performance and they did. This wasn't a bad coating but in the early 2000's it became much improved and then suddenly, in the early 2010s, it has skyrocketed in demand because people were finding out what a good product it was for their foundation.

Polyurea coatings are now one of the most versatile coatings available that is part of the American Spirit of innovation. You name it. You could find a use for it. And, not just in your foundation. In your garage floors, in the parking garage or even in outdoor furniture. There is no end to the use of polyurea.

Polyurea has amazing qualities that can make it a good product to use on the outside of a house or garage as well as on the inside. It is a tough coating. And, while it is tough, it is not brittle.

It is also a low odor and low moisture type of coating. Polyurea coatings are known for their ease of use and quick application as well as the low fumes and the low odor of the coating.

And it is a very durable coating. There are some coatings that are known for their durability. Polyurea coatings have very good to excellent resistance in adverse outdoor conditions.

It is also available in powder form that can be applied by an airless spray device. This type of polyurea is used more often in outdoor applications. It is used more in garages and exterior areas of houses. It's more popular for outdoor furniture because its durability is great in harsh outdoor situations. And, it is known for its resistance to corrosion.

With the advancements in the field of polyurea coatings, its application has come to the next level. It now is known for its resistance to wear. And, it is also available in primer form. And, its usage is also known for its resistance to sunburn and to fade. And, now it is more popular with the people for their outside walls and fences because of its ability to provide a moisture barrier that has prevented the wall from fading. And, it is also known for its resistance to mold. The use of polyurea is also known to be good. It is a good product, as far as the exterior coatings are concerned.

With all of these qualities, polyurea is a product that is a good choice in the interior as well as in the exterior areas of a building. The best way to use it is to put it on the outside parts using the polyurea primer or polyurea powder.

 

 

 

Safe Chemical Storage in Cold or Freezing Weather

For any applicator, cold weather can become quite an issue. Cold chemical (product temperature in drums, totes, or cylinders) causes inefficient processing of chemicals, extra startup time due to recirculation, potential efficiency issues relating to ratio, and potential loss in yield. To maintain great starting chemical temperature levels, the following products are recommended:
Keep chemicals kept in a temperature level regulated environment between 75F and 95F. Chemical rooms can be built-in storage facilities to keep a controlled environment for the material.

Use temperature-level controlled heat blankets throughout transportation to reduce heat loss and maintain the desired chemical temperature level. (include temp control part numbers and request for pricing).
Spray foam the bottom, sides, and top of trailers to reduce heat sync loss throughout transportation.
Reduce chemicals from being stored on surfaces that can produce heat sync temperature loss. Keep chemicals up off the cold concrete or flooring.

Open-cell foam can be recirculated to bring the chemical as much as a conditioned temperature level. Please follow the instructions on your equipment if you have that alternative. KEEP IN MIND: closed-cell foam should never be recirculated as it can separate the polyol side's blowing representative. This will cause future issues with yield and foam performance. 

If your rig has a recirculation system, you can follow these actions to recirculate: Take the gun off the tube and place the hosepipe's coupling block onto the recirculation manifold block on the DDrecirc system. Turn valves to the on position to recirculate. If you do not have a recirculation system on your rig, be sure to keep drums with items like Powerblankets and take the above-listed actions to ensure your chemical will remain at the appropriate temperature level.
Nitrosys System Recirculation: Leave the gun on the system, turn the system on to pre-heat, turn the output valves to the re-circ mode, and the system will start recirculating.
Chemical sitting exposed to ambient temperatures will lose 10-- 15 degrees towards ambient every hour. The chemical will only increase exposure to ambient temperature levels 1-- 2 degrees every hour. 

This suggests that if a chemical is at 80F and exposed to 50F, it would only take 2 -3 hours for the chemical to reach 50F. If the chemical is 50F and exposed to 80F, it might 15-- 30 hours to reach 80F. Lastly, please keep in mind that polyurethane foam chemical is not freeze-thaw stable.
