Where polyurea works in Canada
From municipal infrastructure to farm tanks and factory floors, polyurea protects the assets Canadians rely on. Explore the most common applications and the stories behind them.
What polyurea protects
Each guide covers why polyurea suits the job, what the work involves and what to ask before you start.

Questions that pick the right system
Polyurea is a family of products, not one product. A good applicator will ask about:
- The surface. Concrete, steel, wood, foam or an existing coating, and its condition.
- Exposure. Chemicals, abrasion, UV, standing water or drinking water.
- Movement. Cracks, joints and expansion the coating needs to bridge.
- Conditions. Temperatures and moisture during application and in service.
- Downtime. How fast the area needs to be back in use.
