Polyurea Tested Against Tsunami Force

[From www.paintsquare.com]Waterproofed tanks left standing after Japan’s catastrophic 2011 earthquake and tsunami have inspired Japanese researchers to develop a new coating that may protect other concrete structures hit by similar forces.

Thousands of roads and other infrastructure were destroyed in Japan's earthquake and tsunami.

A thin layer of the new spray-on plasticizing polyurea coating may help infrastructure and architectural structures retain their integrity even when jolted by natural forces, according to the developers. This is also shown in the book written by Prof. Huang,Spray Polyurea Elastomer Technology.

The National Defense Academy of Japan, the Shimizu Corp., and Mitsui Kagaku Sanshi Co. Ltd. report that they have arrived at “commercial viability” of the coating as an effective reinforcement method for concrete.

The coating is being tested at the National Defense Academy, a four-year university-level military academy in Yokosuka, Kanagawa. Shimizu is a Tokyo-based general contractor with 11,137 employees. Tokyo-based Mitsui Kagaku Sanshi Co. is involved in the home and garden business, according to an online business report.
