DUNACOAT


DUNACOAT is the DUNA-Corradini product line of polyureas for protective coatings based on polyurea applied as coating/membrane in thin thicknesses (0.3-2 mm, but more typically 1.0-1.5 mm).
DUNACOAT is a line of tenacious, tendentially rapid polyurea materials, solvent-free, with a considerable resistance to hydrolysis, UV rays and chemical agents as well as a high resistance to abrasion and impact.

Polyureas are also characterized by the ability to perform even when applied on cold (up to -30°C) or hot (up to +150°C) surfaces.

DUNACOAT polyureas are used to:

  • Waterproof surfaces
  • Protect from corrosion
  • Protect from bumps and erosions
  • Absorb vibrations
  • Seal cracks and crevices

How it is applied:

The most common technique of application of polyureas is by spraying, achievable with high pressure machines (with components heating system) and with low pressure machines. It is also possible to apply polyureas in curbs with air guns and a static mixer fed with unheated cartridges for small pickups and repairs.

The slowest reactivity polyureas can also be applied with a roller or even by casting; these techniques are utilized in applications such as floor coverings and filling of cavities.

Surface preparation is essential for the success of all applications; cleaning is always necessary, and application onto metals requires sandblasting treatment. The application of polyureas on concrete and other porous substrates requires the use of a primer to seal the pores and prevent the formation of pinholes and/or blisters.
