Citadel® Polyurea Coatings has developed Single Component Polyurea (SCP) Solutions, a series of Polyurea floor coatings with virtually unlimited pot-life. This allows installers as much time as they wish to finish their projects with no waste. This also minimizes required inventory space and labor, making SCP significantly more profitable for installers.
SCP further reduces labor and application time with its self-leveling properties, preventing it from forming roller lines. It’s also optically clear and very high gloss, giving it a better sheen and making solid colors and broadcasts more vibrant than traditional floor coatings.
“Citadel’s® Polyurea Coatings already offers many benefits over epoxy products, we were the first in the market to formulate easy to use Polyaspartics,” says Patrick Ilfrey, president of Citadel®. “But Single Component Polyurea goes beyond even that—it’s the future of floor coatings. It’s got an unlimited pot-life, it’s optically clear, it’s stronger, not to mention all the practical benefits of not needing to mix, measure and store.”
SCP offers several benefits, both to contractors and their customers, over epoxy and traditional Polyurea. Some of its more notable benefits include:
- Unlimited pot life (Installers have more time to put down product and ensure consistency.)
- No waste (It will not cure in the pan, allowing you to use everything you pour out.)
- Easy preparation (No mixing or measuring needed.)
- Optically clear
- High gloss
- Self-leveling
- Fast cure: 4-8 hours walk-on time (Even with multiple product layers, return-to-service time is less than 24 hours.)
- Year-round installations (Product can be installed in temperatures from zero to 120 degrees.)
- Flexibility and Strength (100 percent more flexible and 20 times stronger than epoxy floor coatings)
SCP’s unique composition allows it to retain Polyurea’s usual 4 to 8 hour walk on and 24 hour return to service when applied, despite its unlimited pot-life. It also retains Polyurea’s elongation and flexibility, and remains a “green” product.
