Polyurea spray coating offers excellent protective qualities – ensuring your properties stay protected, warm, and dry.
Polyurethane Foam vs. Polyurea
Polyurethane and polyurea are both types of polymers – but there are some key differences between the two.
Polyurethane is created by mixing two or more components – typically a polyol and an isocyanate. When these components react, they form polyurethane. Known for its flexibility, abrasion resistance, and adhesion properties, polyurethane is a solid, durable material that can be used in coatings, adhesives, and foams. We often use polyurethane foam at NZAS as a flooring and roofing membrane.

Polyurea, on the other hand, is created by mixing the isocyanate component with a resin blend instead of a polyol. When these components react, they form polyurea – a fast-curing, flexible coating that is great for waterproofing all sorts of materials, including concrete and steel.
One of the main differences between polyurethane and polyurea is their curing time. Polyurethane typically has a longer curing time than polyurea – meaning it takes longer for the material to fully cure and harden. Polyurea, on the other hand, cures within a matter of seconds or minutes – ideal for fast-paced production environments.
