Polyurea, coast to coast to coast
Every region of Canada puts coatings to a different test. See how polyurea is used in your province, then get matched with an applicator who works there.
Where are you building?
British Columbia
From the wet coast to the cold interior, BC assets deal with constant moisture, marine exposure and big temperature swings between regions. Seamless, waterproof membranes are a natural fit for parkades, podium decks, reservoirs and port infrastructure.
Alberta
Alberta’s energy sector relies on secondary containment, tank linings and corrosion protection, while chinooks in the south can swing temperatures through freeze-thaw cycles in a single day. Fast-cure polyurea keeps facilities and fleets moving through short shutdown windows.
Saskatchewan
Mining and agriculture drive demand in Saskatchewan. Abrasion-resistant linings protect mining equipment and chutes, while farms use polyurea in grain, fertilizer and water storage, and to protect equipment through long, cold winters.
Manitoba
Spring flooding makes dikes, culverts and flood control structures critical in Manitoba. Flexible, seamless coatings help protect concrete and steel from water, ice and freeze-thaw damage, while municipalities rehabilitate manholes and lift stations in place.
Ontario
Canada’s most populous province has a lot of aging municipal infrastructure, and heavy road-salt use is hard on parkades and bridges. Polyurea helps protect concrete from chlorides and gets busy facilities back into service quickly.
Quebec
Quebec’s hydroelectric network, long winters and road-salt exposure put protective coatings to work on dams, bridges, parkades and municipal systems. Polyurea’s fast cure helps crews make the most of a short construction season.
Atlantic Canada
In New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, salt air, storms and the working waterfront set the agenda. Polyurea protects wharves, processing plant floors, tanks and roofs against water and corrosion.
The North
Across Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, projects are remote, construction seasons are short and fuel and water storage are essential. Mobile spray rigs and fast-cure systems help crews do more in a tight window.
What every Canadian project has in common
Plan around the weather
Surfaces must be clean, dry and above the dew point. Heat and enclosures stretch the season.
Check local requirements
Specs, potable-water certification and safety rules vary by owner, municipality and province.
Hire experience
Ask for similar past projects, the exact system proposed, and how the surface will be prepared.
