W ill you notice the novel waterproof material under your feet when you are enjoying the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games? This wear-resistant, anti-skip, seamless and comfortable waterproof material is spray polyurea elastomer.
Water is one of the most destructive enemies for architectures, that is why the waterproof materials play an important role in the whole construction. The theme of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is green, high-tech and humanistic Olympics. So the high-tech green waterproof material is going to replace the traditional waterproof materials which have poor quality and pollutant.
After two-year investigation and screening tests by Beijing Municipal Construction Committee and Beijing Olympic Project Headquarters Office, the SPUA-102 polyurea is produced by Qingdao JiaLian Co. is was specified for this job due to its superior quality and performance characteristics versus other competitive products, such as no VOC’s, good physical properties, abrasion resistance, anti-skip etc..
One example of Beijing Olympic stadiums used polyurea is Olympics Sports Center Stadium, which in its heyday was China’s stadium—the site for the 11th Beijing Asian Games. During the last decade, it was once the most outstanding stadium of its type in China with exceptional facilities. After a thorough transformation, this aged stadium of glory is now ready for its close up during the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics. As part of its transformation, its surface area was enlarged from 20000 to 37000 square meters----with polyurea on all the concrete stands.
After partial concrete repair, including epoxy putty to level the surfaces, 1 mil SPUA-D400 Sealing Primer was applied, followed by spray-applied 60--80 mils SPUA-102 aromatic polyurea. The resulting polyurea surface had a slight “orange peel” texture to provide slip-resistance for the life of the stand.
So far the green polyurea product has been widely used on the concrete stand of many 2008 Beijing Olympic projects, such as National Aquatics Center (Water Cube), Fengtai Sports Center Softball Field, Olympics Sports Center Hockey Field, Beijing Olympics Basketball Gymnasium, Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park etc.. The total areas in these Olympics projects add up to above 100,000 square meters.
Qingdao JiaLian Co. is the first company which researches and produces spray polyurea waterproof material in China and takes part in installation of 2008 Beijing Olympic actively with its technical advantages. We are proud to be the polyurea supplier of such prestigious projects and our staff work hard to ensure that everything runs smoothly prior to 2008 Beijing Olympics. The flexibility and toughness of polyurea will reduce life-cycle maintenance costs and ensure that the Olympics stadium will be easier to maintain.
