Fuel Island Rehabilitation
Product
Defender EZ25
Situation
A regional retail organization was looking for a fast and durable way to repair several service islands to improve safety, durability, and aesthetics. The client required a versatile solution that could withstand heavy foot traffic, automotive traffic, chemical spills, and thermal shock.
Solution
UMI Coatings recommended the use of their EZ25 Hybrid Polyurea Coating for the client’s locations. The hybrid nature of the coating combines the fast-curing and impact-resistant properties of polyurea with the robust chemical resistance of polyurethane. This combination offers superior durability, chemical resistance, and thermal shock resistance compared to traditional epoxy coatings.
An experienced contractor started by preparing the existing concrete surface through shot blasting and diamond grinding to ensure proper adhesion of the coating. The EZ25 Hybrid Polyurea Coating was then applied in several layers using specialized equipment to achieve the desired thickness and finish. The application process was completed efficiently within the scheduled downtime to minimize disruption to the client’s operations.
Results
Durability: The EZ25 Hybrid Polyurea Coating provided a highly durable surface that could withstand heavy traffic without showing signs of wear.
Chemical Resistance: The coating demonstrated excellent resistance to chemical and oil exposure, protecting the underlying concrete from corrosion.
Thermal Shock Resistance: The coating effectively handled temperature fluctuations without cracking or peeling, maintaining its integrity over time.
Aesthetics: The smooth and glossy finish of the coating enhanced the overall appearance of the structure, creating a more professional and cleaner environment.
The use of the EZ25 Hybrid Polyurea Coating from UMI Coatings proved to be a successful solution for the client's needs. The client was impressed with the performance and durability of the coating, which exceeded their expectations. UMI Coatings’ innovative product helped improve safety, efficiency, and longevity, showcasing the benefits of hybrid polyurea technology in industrial applications.
