The ArmorThane system
Tried, true and built to be repeated.
Chemistry, equipment, training and support engineered to work together — so every crew can deliver the same seamless, durable result on every structure.
01 · Chemistry
Linings that cure in seconds and last for decades.
Plural-component polyurea reacts almost instantly when sprayed, building a thick, seamless, flexible membrane that bonds to properly prepared concrete and steel.
- Fast gel and cure for short outages
- Chemical resistance for H₂S-rich environments
- Elongation that bridges cracks
- Primers and prep products matched to the system
On the job
The manhole method, step by step.
The same disciplined process ArmorThane teaches every applicator. Preparation is close to half the job — and the reason linings last.
- 1
Inspect
Assess corrosion, infiltration and structural condition; plan bypass if needed.
- 2
Clean & prep
High-pressure wash and abrade to sound, profiled concrete.
- 3
Repair
Stop active leaks, fill voids and rebuild bench and invert.
- 4
Prime
Apply the matched primer for adhesion on concrete or steel.
- 5
Spray
Apply polyurea to specified thickness in a seamless, monolithic lining.
- 6
Verify & return
Check thickness and continuity, then return to service — often the same day.
02 · Equipment
Choose how you spray.
Start lean or roll out a fully self-contained rig. Every option includes the gear and training to put it to work.

Compare
Why polyurea wins the spec.
| Criteria | Our pick ArmorThane polyurea | Epoxy | Cementitious liner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cure & return to service | Gels in seconds — service often in hours | Typically hours to a day or more | Often requires days of cure |
| Flexibility & crack bridging | High elongation bridges moving cracks | Rigid — can crack with movement | Rigid — cracks with the substrate |
| Seamless coverage | Spray-applied, monolithic, no seams | Seamless, usually multi-coat | Cold joints between lifts |
| H₂S & acid resistance | Excellent, formulation dependent | Good to excellent | Cement is vulnerable to acid attack |
| Application window | Wide temperature & humidity range | Sensitive to cold and moisture | Tolerant, but slow to cure |
| Build per visit | High build in a single mobilization | Moderate per coat | High build |
General comparison of material classes. Performance depends on the specific product, surface preparation and service conditions — always follow product data sheets and project specifications.
