What is a Polyurethane?Formed by the reaction of a polyisocyanate and a polyolWhen polyisocyanate reacts with water it joins with

another polyisocyanate and releases carbon dioxide causing expansion. When polyisocyanate reacts with water it joins with another polyisocyanate and releases carbon dioxide causing expansion.

Can be supplied as SINGLE or TWO part formulations.

Characteristics of Polyurethane?Excellent AdhesionOutstanding hydrolytic Wide range of formulation capability and

Benefits of Polystone 40Easy To Apply- Simple equipment required; water pump,

garden hose, spray nozzle or watering can

- Low Viscosity Material- Single Component Material nomixing requiredReduces Bunker Contamination- No stones working up from base- No dirt from sidewalls• Stops Sidewall Erosion- Clean Edges- No collapse of steep sidewalls• Reduces Drainage Contamination- No Dirt or Silt getting into the drains- No Fabric to Snag- No pins or staples to replace- No fabric to rebury

• Improves Aesthetics- Stops stones from migrating upfrom base- Stops discolouration from sidewallerosion- Stops silt plugging of drains• Reduces Maintenance- No stones to remove- Use bunker rakes with no snagging- Extends sand life• Maintains Bunker Consistency- Clean Edges- Sand playability remains consistent- Drainage remains consistent
