SPI Announces Elastomeric Bridging Polyurea Now Available for High Pressure Equipment

November 27, 2018 Leave a commentPress ReleasesBy admin

Lakewood, WA – Specialty Products, Inc. (SPI) announced today the launch of a new Elastomeric Bridging Polyurea, AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 AP, designed for high-pressure, spray equipment. This comes after successful beta testing of the improved system that was previously developed and sold for use with SPI’s LPG™.

AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 AP polyurea is an elastomer that expands approximately 300% of its original volume during the spray application process. When applied to porous surfaces such as vertically poured concrete, concrete masonry (CMU) or wood, it bridges substrate imperfections, and virtually dismisses blowholes and pinholes.

The initial formulation, AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 polyurea was designed to process through SPI’s low-pressure, LPG™ proportioning equipment only. With the distinct advantage of adhering to many polymeric substrates, typically without the use of a primer, AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 polyurea quickly became a solution for concrete resurfacing, saving contractors money and time, but was only available to LPG™ contractors.

Listening to and fulfilling customer’s requests, the newly developed AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 AP polyurea formula is now available for use with high-pressure spray equipment, and an Air Purge gun. In most instances, when used as a spray-applied basecoat, AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 AP expanding polyurea minimizes surface preparation time by eliminating the use of mortar or other cementitious materials generally used to fill pinholes or blowholes, in both new and existing porous surfaces.

As is the original formula, high-pressure spray-applied AQUASEAL™ Hi Rise X3 AP polyurea is recommended for waterproofing exterior basements and foundations, to fill or repair control joints, random cracks, and shallow spalls on concrete surfaces.

Dear Valued SPI Partners,

As our Nation unites to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the President issued updated Coronavirus Guidance for Americans on March 16th. This guidance initiated communication and notifications including Continuation of Supply Letters from valued SPI customers who are working on various critical infrastructure projects.

During these times of uncertainty, our mantra of “Diversify With SPI” has never been more meaningful than it is today. With you as our valued partner, we collectively maintain being a critical cog in the wheel to keep many diverse areas of infrastructure going throughout this nation and globally.

We have a number of manufacturing facilities across the US, giving us more options and resources to keep material moving to all geographical areas and markets. All Specialty Products’ facilities will remain open for business, and remain focused on continuing to supply your businesses through this uncharted time. Please continue to communicate closely with your SPI representative about the status of the environment around your place of business, and try to place your orders with as much advanced notice as possible. This will allow our production facilities and supply chain partners to work in sync to maintain the same level of service you’ve come to expect, and enable us to meet your product needs.

Rest assured, at SPI, nothing is more important than our employees’ safety, and we are doing everything possible to ensure the well-being of our dedicated staff, customers, suppliers, and service providers. With an uncompromising commitment to employee safety and social distancing, our team members who are able to perform their duties remotely, have already begun to do so. We will continue to monitor the conditions and communicate with our team, our partners, and you, if situations change.

We appreciate the continued notifications from you and your customers related to your projects under the Federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) strategic guidance. If you have questions, or even ideas using technologies to provide a solution, we will continue to be available 24/7 to assist you.

Everyone at SPI, and all the VersaFlex Family of Companies hope you and your families remain safe and healthy.
