ORLANDO, Fla.—Bayer MaterialScience said its polyurethane system Baydur has been used to help rebuild sea walls in North America following the destruction by Superstorm Sandy in October.
The hurricane tore apart sea walls designed to protect the coast. Newly constructed or rebuilt seawalls will need to withstand harsh marine environments, storm surges and last longer than seawalls made from traditional materials, BMS said.
BMS said Gulf Synthetics' PURLoc, made using its Baydur PUL 2500 polyurethanes system, is a cost-effective solution for waterfront projects, and will help protect thousands of miles of bulkheads, canals and waterfront homes.
