Resulting Properties
Polyurea properties can range over a significant degree depending on the formulation employed. For example, typical polyurea sealant properties range in hardness from 20-95 Shore A, 180-1600 psi tensile strength, 150-1000% elongation, and 100-180 pli tear strength. The physical properties are tunable by altering the volume ratios.
