Solution: Division 7 Consulting selected Freedom Chemical’s Guardian-PD to provide long lasting protection for the high traffic area of Irvine Great Park. The combination of the products used provided excellent thermal stability; abrasion and chemical resistance; fast return to service; and durable installations with no odor, which was ideal for the multi-use sports park. For example, Freedom Chemical’s Freedom Tuff 6160 is a two component 100% solids epoxy primer designed to treat new and existing concrete, masonry and wood. Freedom Chemical’s Freedom Tuff 2216 is a fast setting, rapid curing, two-component modified aromatic spray polyurea, used as a general-purpose protective coating, that is flexible, abrasion, and impact resistant. Lastly, Freedom Chemical’s Freedom Tuff 4295 is a 100% solids two-component hand-applied aromatic polyurethane used as a protective or waterproof coating with good chemical and abrasion resistance, it’s designed for use as a base or intermediate coat.

Challenge: The Great Park is a public park located in Irvine, California, with a focus on sports, agriculture, and the arts. A protective coating with waterproofing was needed for the podium deck, planters and the below grade walls which are all exposed to the elements. Critical path was an important factor in choosing solutions for this project. GuardianPD with gel times of 7 – 10 seconds and durability not requiring protection board was the perfect solution.

The FreedomTuff® product line is a revelation of what Polyureas, Polyurethanes, Polyaspartics and Epoxies are about. When so many products have been “made” for maximum impact, at Freedom® Chemical Corporation we’ve been content to let our products speak quietly. No need to shout when you have something special to say.
