Polyaspartic FAQ
How to Distinguish Between Polyurea and Epoxy Grout Sealant?
In the diverse market of grout sealants, distinguishing between polyurea and epoxy variants can be challenging. Feiyang shares insights: Before Application: Experienced users can differentiate by scent; polyurea has a milder, more distinct fragrance. Utilizing tools like pH test strips to check the alkalinity of Component A can be informative. Alkaline readings typically indicate polyurea, whereas other readings suggest different materials. Mixing a known epoxy B component
Why Does Sealant Change Color?
The Yellowing of Sealant The main ingredient in mainstream epoxy sealants is epoxy resin. In the sealant formula, the combined A and B component epoxy resin content exceeds 50%. Given that epoxy resin is the primary component, discoloration is inevitable, merely a matter of time. The materials contain chromophoric groups, such as benzene ring structures in epoxy resins, and the conjugated double bond structure in unsaturated resins. These structures produce colored substances
Epoxy Flooring vs. Polyurea Flooring - Advantages and Disadvantages
Traditional Flooring vs. Industrial Needs Traditionally, flooring solutions primarily utilized concrete and granite. However, industrial flooring often requires substantial load-bearing capacity and resistance to constant mechanical abrasion and wear, a demand that conventional flooring struggles to meet. As the industry evolves, epoxy flooring has become a dominant choice in industrial applications, and in recent years, polyurea flooring has rapidly gained traction. Epoxy
Eco-Friendly, High-Solid, Low-Viscosity Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin
What Does High-Solid, Low-Viscosity Mean? High-solid, low-viscosity, as the name suggests, refers to a material with high solid content and low viscosity. Polyaspartic polyurea resin is a typical example of this kind of material. High solid content means fewer volatile substances in the material, resulting in lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, making it suitable for creating environmentally friendly materials. Low viscosity enhances the workability of the
Best Materials for Cold Storage Flooring
Cold storage units are climate-controlled facilities used for storing food, dairy, meat, seafood, etc. Currently, ranks third globally in cold storage capacity, behind India and the United States.

The primary market is low-temperature storage, accounting for 72%, mainly for food storage at -18 to -25°C, ideal for meat and vaccines.
Application of Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin in the DTM Sector
To understand the application of Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin in the DTM (Direct to Metal) sector, we first need to grasp what DTM is. DTM, a term specific to the industrial coatings industry, literally means "direct to metal," referring to anti-corrosive coatings that can be directly applied to metal surfaces. This is one of the primary application areas of Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin. Anti-corrosive coatings are used on the surface of objects to protect their interiors from
How to Extend the Pot Life of Polyaspartic Polyurea?
What is Pot Life? Pot life, also known as usable life or working time, refers to the period a thermosetting resin or adhesive, after the addition of a hardener or additive, remains workable. This duration ends when the system's viscosity rises to a point where it's no longer usable. Factors such as the type and amount of hardener, additives, and ambient temperature can affect pot life. This metric significantly impacts the applicability of coatings and the final performance

How to Choose Between Waterproofing Membranes and Coatings?
Waterproofing is one of the most crucial aspects of construction. Effective waterproofing can significantly extend the lifespan of a building and enhance the living experience. However, choosing the wrong waterproofing materials can lead to continuous maintenance and repair hassles. Therefore, selecting the right waterproofing materials is essential. Currently, the market offers a wide variety of waterproofing materials, mainly categorized into waterproofing membranes and
Applications of Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin
Polyaspartic Polyurea represent a novel development in the polyurea industry. This new generation of aliphatic, slow-reacting, high-performance coating materials is hailed as the third generation of polyurea. For a long time, Polyaspartic Polyurea technology was monopolized by foreign entities. It wasn't until 2009 that Feiyang successfully pioneered its own Polyaspartic Polyurea resin, breaking this foreign monopoly and positioning itself as a leader in domestic polyurea
Can Polyaspartic Polyurea Resin Be Mixed with Other Resins?
As environmental awareness grows, so does the demand for high-quality coatings. The global coatings industry is evolving towards the principles of "Economy, Ecology, Energy, and Efficiency". Resins, a key component in coatings, face rigorous performance standards. Polyaspartic polyurea resin, known for its solvent-free, low-viscosity nature, excels in weatherability, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. It's increasingly used in waterproofing, anti-corrosion, and
Swimming Pool Waterproofing: Tile Surfacing or Coating?
As temperatures rise, water parks and home swimming pools are becoming increasingly popular. When constructing or repairing pools, choosing the right pool coating presents a significant challenge. Pools, being long-term water storage structures, are subjected to stress deformation during water storage and replacement, and are affected by temperature fluctuations, hence demanding high-quality waterproof materials. Pool coatings must possess excellent water resistance, aging
Rigid vs. Flexible Waterproofing: Is There a Material That Combines Both?
When it comes to waterproofing, two concepts often come to mind: rigid and flexible waterproofing. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, which can make the selection process quite challenging. Sometimes, the choice must be tailored to different areas, which can be time-consuming and laborious. What are Rigid and Flexible Waterproofing? Rigid Waterproofing As the name suggests, rigid waterproofing relies on the material's density and strength to prevent water ingress
Is Thicker Waterproofing Always Better?
Many harbor this notion during home renovations: "Thicker waterproofing must equate to better protection." But is that really the case? The Myth of Thickness No, thicker isn't necessarily better. For one, waterproofing should be applied in multiple thin layers, not too thickly, to avoid cracking or peeling—similar to applying makeup. Moreover, like cosmetics, waterproofing materials aren't cheap. Over-application is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also
Waterproofing Color Steel Roof Tiles with Polyaspartic Polyurea
Many buildings, for aesthetic appeal, adorn their rooftops with color steel, particularly on steep roofs of villas or factories. Although color steel sheets are processed with various paints for durability and water resistance, weather-induced damage such as rusting, expansion, and contraction can lead to leaks. Color steel rooftops have their pros and cons. A well-structured color steel roof rarely leaks, and if it does, the affected parts can be easily replaced or
Construction Steps for Rooftop Waterproofing with Polyaspartic Polyurea
Roof waterproofing is a vital aspect of building protection. Being constantly exposed to the elements, such as wind, sun, and fluctuating temperatures, without proper waterproofing, roof cracks and leaks can pose a threat to housing safety and affect the lifespan of a building. Polyaspartic polyurea is an ideal new eco-friendly material for rooftop waterproofing. Known for its "skin-like" waterproofing ability, it's favored for its exceptional weatherability, aesthetic appeal
What Material is Best for Waterproofing Pools?
Firefighting water storage pools, swimming pools, garden landscape pools, surf pools, and other such areas require a long-term water fill. Poor waterproofing leading to leakage is not just troublesome, but also costly to repair. Hence, the waterproofing demands for pools are stringent, and selecting the right waterproofing coating is of utmost importance. The various coatings used for pools must satisfy four critical functional requirements: adhesion, resistance to cleaning
