Polyurethane Coatings
Some of the thickest and most durable on the market, these coatings have excellent abrasion and impact resistance. Often used as a topcoat over epoxy coatings, they provide superior UV resistance and have great color and gloss retention. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Textured Polyurethane Coatings
Designed for use in truck beds, these durable coatings create a tough, textured finish that prevents objects from sliding. Made from polyurethane, they resist abrasion and won’t fade from exposure to UV light.
Coatings in a can contain a roller, tray, and everything else you need to create a new protective coating.
Use coatings in an aerosol can to cover hard-to-reach places and to touch up worn-out areas.

Low-Temperature Polyurethane Coatings
Apply these coatings in temperatures down to 20° F, when other coatings would fail. They handle high humidity and have superior abrasion, impact, and UV resistance while providing great color and gloss retention. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. They're often used as a topcoat over epoxy coatings.
Clear coatings create a thin layer with an easy-to-clean finish that resists mold and mildew.

Polyurethane Coatings for Metal
These polyurethane-based coatings resist moisture, corrosion, abrasion, and impact better than paint and have excellent color retention. They're often used as a topcoat over epoxy coatings. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. They cannot be sold to the regions listed due to local chemical regulations, including limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
Safety-color coatings come in colors approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment. Safety red indicates danger and is often used on fire protection equipment, containers for flammable liquid, and switches on machinery. Safety orange indicates hazards and is often used on warning signs, construction equipment, and unguarded edges. Safety yellow indicates caution and is often used on tripping hazards, exposed edges, and start buttons. Safety green indicates general safety and is often used to identify first aid kits and other medical equipment and to explain safety procedures. Safety blue is used on “out of order,” “employees only,” and other general-information signs.

Rust-Blocking Urethane Coatings for Metal
Apply these coatings directly to rust to prevent it from spreading and to stop new rust from forming. Often used on containers, trailers, and in marine restoration, they create a durable, impact-resistant surface that permanently stops rust. Remove loose rust and dirt before application. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Coatings cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Urethane Potting Compounds
Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of urethane for protection from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration. Urethanes withstand a wide range of temperatures and are the best choice for cold-temperature applications. They have excellent flexibility, good chemical and moisture resistance, and provide good electrical insulation.
Cartridge potting compounds can be applied precisely through the included mixer nozzle. You’ll need a dispensing gun (sold separately). US2350™ also require a 4:1 plunger (sold separately) to dispense.
Bottle potting compounds are easier to apply in high volumes than cartridge potting compounds. Mix the compounds together and pour them over components inside potting boxes and other containers. If mixing introduces any air bubbles, put the mixture in a vacuum chamber.
Compounds that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product labeling requirements.

Light-Activated Urethane Potting Compounds
In just 20 seconds under a UV light, these urethane compounds form into a strong protective layer on electrical components. They withstand a wide range of temperatures and are good electrical insulators. They also stop chemicals, moisture, and dust from damaging your device. With excellent flexibility, they protect against vibration and impact. Since they also work as an adhesive, you can use them to bond and insulate components such as electrical connectors and thermal switches. No mixing required.

Urethane Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments
From shore to sea floor, these potting compounds are formulated for permanent submersion in water—even salt water. Use them to protect circuits and splices in pumps, underwater lighting, and other underwater electronics from corrosion and chemicals. Made of urethane, they withstand a wide range of temperatures, especially cold underwater conditions. They provide good electrical insulation and have excellent flexibility. Since they’re more flexible than epoxy compounds, they’re often used to protect against vibration and impact.
Mix the two parts of these compounds together and pour them over components inside a potting box or other container. If mixing causes air bubbles, put the mixture in a vacuum chamber to remove them.

Heavy Duty Polyurethane Coatings for Concrete Floors
Designed for marine environments, these coatings stand up to harsh chemicals, such as sulfuric acid, citric acid, and diesel fuel. They have excellent abrasion, impact, and UV resistance, as well as low hardening temperatures. Repair cracks and holes prior to application. Apply with a roller or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Galvanizing Zinc Primers for Metal
A high concentration of zinc gives these primers excellent corrosion resistance for protecting steel—when exposed to moisture and chemicals, the zinc rusts before the underlying steel can. They’re often used with structural steel to prepare the surface for paint while forming a protective layer. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
Polyurethane primers can be applied in environments with high humidity. They allow underlying moisture to escape while preventing additional water from getting in. Surface must be visibly dry and free of frost and ice.
