The ICC Difference
Experience the difference that comes with proven expertise and the most advanced concrete coating technology available.
What Is Polyurea?
Polyurea was originally developed in the early 1990s by Texaco Chemical Company. Their chemists recognized the superior performance characteristics of polyurea and began developing it for various industrial applications. Over time, this revolutionary technology made its way into the concrete coating industry, where it has proven to be the superior choice for both residential and commercial applications.
At Integrity Concrete Coatings, we've embraced polyurea technology because it simply outperforms traditional epoxy and polyurethane coatings in every measurable way. Our polyurea coatings are 4 times stronger than epoxy, UV stable (won't yellow in sunlight), and more flexible to prevent cracking.
