Applications

Blast mitigation, application by application.

Eight places spray-applied polyurea earns its keep. Each guide explains the threat, how the coating helps, the details that decide performance, and who buys the work, so owners can plan and applicators can sell.

Common to every application

Four things every blast retrofit gets right

  • The right chemistry

    Not every polyurea is a blast polyurea. AFRL found elongation capacity matters more than stiffness for this job1.

  • Prepared substrate

    The bond was critical to the performance AFRL measured1. Clean, sound, profiled and dry, every time.

  • Attached edges

    A 6 in. spray overlap onto the supporting structure transferred the load and prevented collapse in testing1.

  • Documented thickness

    Thickness and elongation drive how much energy the coating can absorb1. Measure it and record it.
