Recent decades have shown that the development of modern technology does not stop for a second. Many new coatings are being developed, technologies are being improved, builders' capabilities and customer needs are expanding.
The main component for modern developments has become an artificial material - polyurethane. It has found wide application, but most often it can be found in the role of replacing natural rubber and rubber. However, the unique properties of polyurethane can replace them with plastic and even metal.
However, now we will talk about a product such as polyurethane paint. Such a material has quite specific characteristics, has a low cost, and also successfully resists mechanical damage and deformation, withstands a wide temperature range and has a fairly long service life.
Polyurethane paint is also characterized by a high degree of resistance to the damaging effects of alkalis and acids, various oils, as well as gasoline. Similar paint coatings are usually divided into two groups: one-component and two-component.
As the name implies, the main difference between these two categories in the number of components. One-component paint is an elastic rubber-like paint coating that resembles ordinary paint. Such a connection is immediately sold ready for use, which means that no additional preparation measures are required, which significantly reduces the duration of the repair work.
At the same time, the pair of components that make up the polyurethane paint - hardener and resin-containing structures - are in different containers. They must be combined in special proportions. Nevertheless, this technology has many positive features:
1. When applying the coating process of solidification or polymerization of the composition. It successfully proceeds without moisture, which means that such a reaction allows you to not pay attention to weather factors, such as snow, rain, fog.
2. The simplicity of obtaining the required volume of paint material. Having the ability to dilute only the required amount of paint can significantly reduce its consumption, and therefore save on the purchase of materials. However, polyurethane paint is poorly kept diluted for a long time. Even subject to certain conditions.
3. The result of use is a durable and long-lasting coating. In this regard, a two-component coating has a significant advantage over the usual one-component coating.
Therefore, polyurethane paint allows you to get an elastic wear-resistant coating that is sufficiently resistant to mechanical damage and chemical compounds, and also successfully resists the effects of ultraviolet radiation. Such a coating has spread widely, due to the versatility of use: both external and internal application are possible.
