Civil construction is experiencing a new cycle of innovation and efficiency, driven by technologies that combine sustainability, practicality, and performance. Polyurethane (PU), due to its versatility, has taken a central role in this movement, with applications ranging from thermal insulation to coating systems, industrial flooring, cementitious, rubberized, and high-performance sealing. Amino follows and anticipates these trends with a complete portfolio aimed at the construction sector.
Smart solutions already transforming construction sites
The use of PU in construction systems has significantly evolved. Today, high-performance materials are being used in:
- Sealants and adhesives with high elasticity and adhesion for structural sealing;
- One- or two-component waterproofing agents based on PU or hybrid SP;
- Self-leveling coatings with matte, glossy, or troweled finishes for industrial, commercial, and ornamental flooring (playgrounds, running tracks, and walking sidewalks).
These solutions are already part of the reality of job sites seeking speed of application, chemical and mechanical resistance, and durability in demanding environments. Amino, through its CASE division, has expanded the portfolio with products specially formulated for this type of project and customized solutions.
Energy efficiency as a competitive advantage
With the growing need for more sustainable and efficient buildings, materials that contribute to the thermal performance of buildings—industrial and ornamental floors—are gaining prominence. In this context, PU is consolidated as the ideal solution:
- High-performance thermal insulation to reduce energy consumption;
- Efficient sealing and waterproofing against moisture, wind, and sound;
- Compatibility with LEED and AQUA standards, enabling environmental certification points.
Amino has invested in systems focused on thermal efficiency, especially in products that integrate the building envelope with high insulation power and low carbon footprint.
How Amino adapts these trends to the market
Amino’s commitment to the construction industry goes beyond delivering products: it lies in the ability to translate global trends into real solutions, tested and approved for the Brazilian reality. The company has been expanding its presence in the segment, for example:
Floor Coatings:
Two-component self-leveling PU, with matte, glossy, and troweled options, ideal for industrial, commercial environments, hospital floors, cold chambers, pharmaceutical laboratories, industrial kitchens, automotive industry, dealerships, food industry, among others.
Waterproofing Agents:
- One-component based on hybrid or acrylic SP, easy to apply and excellent coverage, ideal for slabs, low-traffic areas, foundations, cold-area floors, elevated pools, pipe coating and protection, doors, windows, gutters, flashings, ducts, awnings, and roofs.
- Two-component PU-based, high-performance in wet areas and subject to hydrostatic pressure, ideal for concrete, slabs, flashings, gutters, elevated parking areas, pools, high pedestrian and vehicle traffic floors, industrial buildings, cold chambers, and potable water tanks.
These technologies ensure high performance, are formulated with additives free of harmful solvents, and meet market demands for well-being, durability, and energy efficiency.
