Electricity Industry Applications of Polyure Coatings

The beneficial properties and protective capabilities of hot spray polyurea are attracting increasing market interest in protective coatings. Polyurea’s applications, such as waterproofing, corrosion protection, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, are utilized in various human activities. Over the past three decades, polyurea application technology has been widely developed in many countries and has been tested in all climate conditions. Numerous tests have been conducted, accumulating significant experience in the operation of spray polymer coatings. There is a continuous search for new applications for the use of hot spray polyurea materials. NewTec’s proven hot spray polyurea material solutions in this sector include four main types of power generation: thermoelectric, hydroelectric, nuclear, and gas, as well as wind power.

General protection solutions for the electricity sector

Hot spray polyurea is an ideal coating for turbine foundations due to its superior technical properties. It can stretch up to 400% of its size before cracking, making it an extremely durable coating that can protect the underlying paint layers from chipping. Additionally, the coating has another important function: marine corrosion resistance.

Spraying polyurea is more distinct and demanding compared to other types of coatings. Polyurea consists of two components that react extremely quickly to ensure rapid curing, and this requires suitable conditions to achieve the desired coating characteristics. Due to the fast curing time, measured in seconds, there is no room for application errors.

Customers turn to us for comprehensive solutions in these complex conditions to provide complete protection for valuable assets, ensuring continuous operation and requiring extended design life against high abrasion, impact, and chemical exposure. Complex solutions require our core components, including specifications, premium products, advanced spray equipment, and the highest professional application contractors.

Typical solutions for this sector include:

Hazardous containment: Chemicals, hydrocarbons, and nuclear waste
Primary containment: Dams, treatment basins, chemical storage
Abrasion protection: Warehouses, drains, and equipment components
Corrosion protection: Gates, valves, filters, structural components
Gas containment: Reactors and treatment systems

Protection for hydroelectric power plants

For centuries, dams have played an essential role in storing water for various purposes, such as irrigation, water supply, hydropower, and flood control. Today, agricultural irrigation and hydropower generation are the most common functions of dams.

Dams are structures that present specific challenges and complexities. The ultra-durable Polycoat Polyurea material system contributes active waterproofing, protection, and concrete repair solutions to overall performance, reducing construction and operational costs.

Protection for wind turbines

Wind turbines need protection against mechanical impacts, increased abrasion resistance, corrosion in marine and salt environments, and weather durability. Polycoat Polyurea is an extremely durable coating that creates a continuous, seamless membrane with very fast curing times in the air and excellent corrosion resistance. It adheres perfectly to a variety of surfaces, making it the ideal coating for protecting wind turbines.

NewTec continually improves technology and enhances quality management for waterproof and corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring long-lasting durability and the highest economic efficiency for the projects of all investors.

The diverse applications of polyurea in the power industry, from protecting wind turbines and hydroelectric dams to safeguarding nuclear facilities, demonstrate its versatility and effectiveness in enhancing the durability and performance of critical infrastructure. Its ability to resist corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions, coupled with rapid curing times and seamless application, makes polyurea a cost-effective solution for maintaining operational efficiency. As NewTec continues to innovate and enhance quality management in polyurea coatings, the industry can expect improved longevity and economic efficiency for power generation facilities, contributing to the sustainable and reliable operation of the energy sector.
