Understanding Polyaspartic Coatings

• Before diving into the application process, it is
  essential to grasp the fundamentals
  of Waterproofing Solutions coatings. These
  coatings belong to the polyurea family and are
  known for their rapid-curing properties. 
• Unlike traditional epoxy coatings, polyaspartic
  coatings require a two-component system,
  combining a resin and a catalyst. This unique
  chemistry grants polyaspartic coatings with an
  exceptionally fast curing time, allowing for a
  quicker return to service and reduced downtime.
• As with any successful coating application,
  surface preparation is key. Before applying
  polyaspartic coatings, the substrate must be
  clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such
  as dirt, oil, grease, or previous coatings.
  Depending on the substrate, this step may involve
  sandblasting, grinding, or shot blasting to
  achieve the desired surface profile. Proper
  surface preparation ensures optimal adhesion and
  prevents coating failures.

Primer Application

• In some cases, a primer coat is recommended to
  enhance adhesion and ensure consistent results.
  Primers also act as a barrier, preventing any
  potential chemical reactions between the
  substrate and the polyaspartic coating. 
• The choice of primer may vary depending on the
  substrate and environmental conditions, so it is
  crucial to consult the manufacturer's guidelines
  for compatibility and application instructions.
• Once the surface is adequately prepared and, if
  applicable, primed, it is time to mix the
  polyaspartic coating. Careful attention must be
  given to the manufacturer's recommendations
  regarding the correct ratio of resin to catalyst.
  Using inaccurate measurements may result in
  incomplete curing or compromised coating
  performance. 
• A mechanical mixer is often employed to ensure a
  homogeneous blend, minimizing the risk of any
  uncured or unevenly mixed areas.
