Coatings and Linings

Essential for protecting

Coatings and linings are essential for protecting a diverse array of surfaces from wear and environmental challenges. Polyurea coatings are particularly valued for their rapid curing and exceptional durability, making them ideal for demanding applications. Chemical-resistant formulations safeguard various structures, including walls, ceilings, smokestacks, and water towers, from corrosive substances. Concrete silos, tanks, and metal silos benefit from these protective layers, ensuring longevity and structural integrity. Structural steel and piping are also protected against rust and damage, extending their service life. Furthermore, coatings and linings find application in clarifiers and buildings, providing a resilient barrier against both chemical and physical stressors. Whether for industrial or commercial use, these versatile solutions offer comprehensive protection for a wide range of surfaces and structures.

Let's Talk

Polyurea Coatings & Waterproofing

Polyurea is a high-performance protective coating and waterproofing system engineered for demanding industrial and infrastructure environments. Applied as a seamless, spray-on membrane, polyurea creates a durable, flexible barrier that protects surfaces from water intrusion, corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure.

Unlike traditional coatings and membranes, polyurea cures within seconds and bonds tightly to properly prepared substrates, forming a monolithic, watertight system with no seams or failure points. Its ability to flex and move with structures makes it especially effective in environments subject to vibration, thermal cycling, and heavy loads.

Why Choose Polyurea?

  • Seamless Waterproofing – Eliminates joints and seams where leaks typically occur
  • High Durability – Resists abrasion, impact, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions
  • Fast Return to Service – Rapid cure times minimize downtime and traffic or operational disruptions
  • Structural Flexibility – Bridges cracks and accommodates movement without failure
  • Long Service Life – Reduces lifecycle costs compared to traditional systems

Proven Applications

Bridges & Bridge Decks

Spray-applied, high-build elastomeric coating provides a waterproof, traffic-ready membrane that protects concrete and steel decks from chloride intrusion, freeze-thaw damage, and corrosion of reinforcing steel. Its rapid cure system, which meets Arema standards, allows for faster installation windows and reduced lane closures.

Tanks & Vessels

Used for both internal and external tank linings, polyurea delivers excellent chemical resistance and long-term corrosion protection. The seamless application ensures full containment and reliable performance in harsh operating conditions.

Primary & Secondary Containment

Polyurea is ideal for containment systems where leak prevention is critical. Its seamless nature, chemical resistance, and ability to bridge cracks make it a dependable solution for protecting soil, groundwater, and surrounding infrastructure.

Mezzanine Decks

For industrial mezzanines, polyurea creates a durable, waterproof surface capable of handling heavy foot traffic and equipment while protecting the underlying structure from moisture damage.

Split Slab Waterproofing

Polyurea is highly effective in split slab and structural slab applications, forming a flexible waterproof membrane that accommodates movement while preventing water migration between slabs and into occupied spaces.

Food & Beverage Processing Facilities

Polyurea coating systems are well-suited for food and beverage processing environments where sanitation, moisture control, and durability are critical. When properly specified and installed, polyurea provides a seamless, non-porous surface that helps mitigate the risk of moisture intrusion, microbial harborage, and contamination in regulated areas.

Polyurea systems can be selected to support compliance with FDA and USDA facility design and sanitation guidelines, including cleanability, resistance to washdowns, and compatibility with common cleaning agents and sanitizers. The seamless nature of polyurea eliminates joints, seams, and cracks where bacteria can collect, supporting effective sanitation programs and routine inspections.

Rapid cure times allow installations and repairs to be completed quickly, minimizing production downtime while maintaining hygienic conditions. Polyurea’s durability and chemical resistance make it ideal for use in processing areas, containment zones, equipment pads, trenches, and floors subject to frequent cleaning and heavy use.

At Albers Industrial Linings, we work closely with facility operators and project teams to specify polyurea systems appropriate for food and beverage environments, helping support regulatory requirements while delivering long-term performance and protection.

Mining & Aggregate Operations

In mining environments, polyurea is used to protect structures, chutes, hoppers, containment areas, and concrete surfaces from abrasion, impact, moisture, and chemical exposure. Its toughness and flexibility make it ideal for extending asset life in extreme and abrasive conditions.

At Albers Industrial Linings, our expertise in polyurea coatings ensures every system is properly specified, prepared, and applied for long-term performance. Our customers rely on polyurea because it delivers proven protection, faster project completion, and lasting value across critical infrastructure and industrial assets.
