Technical Information
Durabak™ floor coating and industrial coating is a tough, one-part polyurethane with self-contained recycled rubber granules, which give it an attractive tough-textured appearance. When exposed to atmospheric moisture, Durabak™ undergoes a chemical curing process which changes it from a liquid to a tough polyurethane membrane. Durabak™ will chemically bond to most clean and dry surfaces. These include, but are not limited to, concrete, wood, fiberglass, metal, rubber and sound-proofing materials. It can be applied by roller, brush or spray. Durabak™ can give a relatively smooth or rough surface, depending on application technique.
Uses
Durabak™ has many applications for commercial, industrial, military and civilian use. Durabak™ protects surfaces from foul weather elements and harsh chemicals, while creating a non-slip surface on:
- Pedestrian walkways
- Truck beds
- Pamps and loading docks
- Bridges
- Concrete, metal and wooden steps
- Catwalks
- Ship decks
- Marine applications
- pleasure boats
- storage tanks
- floors
- ramps
- pools and spas
- sealing rusty pipes
- playgrounds
- freight elevators
- tool handles
- roofing
- vehicle undercoating
- curb ramps
- parking lots
