Spray-On Bedliners of Silicon Valley Protect Dublin San Ramon Water District’s Containers
When it comes to protecting raw metal, steel, or wood nothing protects like Polyurea. Dublin San Ramon Water Districts just received two new containers. These containers are used to hold the waste when the city cleans the street drains. As one could imagine lots of rocks, sand, and tree branches find there way into city street drains which is hauled away. Because this container would be subject to lots of heavy debris Polyurea is perfect solution. This product has great flexibility and wear properties that will protect the container for years to come.
This job required two half days to complete. The first day was spent prepping the surface. The surface must be free from oil and rust to obtain a near white metal profile for the proprietary primer. The job surrounding site has been protected by heavy tarps to catch any waste or over spray. Once this is all setup the fun begins.
Surface prep to a near white metal.
In the above photo all grease has been wiped off and the remaining residue washed with hot soapy water, rinsed with clean water. After the container is completely dry the team uses grinders to remove rust. Once this has been completed the entire area to be coated is primed. The photo below shows the container with primer.
Container has special primer
This primer has a re-coat time between 12 – 24 hours. The project was complete the following day. The spec calls for 60 mils on the sides and heavier on the bottom. The bottom photo shows the completed project after removal of paper and plastic covering.
Polyurea coating
This container is ready for full service the following day. Dublin San Ramon Water District receives the best protection available for their new containers. This protection is far superior than anything on the market today.

Spray-On Bedliner of Silicon Valley provide protection where it counts for Stanford’s Humanoid Robotic Diver – “Mermaid”
Stanford’s Humanoid Robotic Diver Blocks
Stanford’s Humanoid Robotic Diver started out as a box of blocks about a year ago and has just made world news.
High Density Foam Blocks
Stanford’s Ocean One is the first prototype of what may be a team of robotic divers that are currently controlled remotely. The advancement of processor technology and software make automation a certainly. It’s only a matter of time before one of Ocean One’s distant beta versions will be task driven from a daily software boot and able to work independently.
As far as we are concerned it started like so many other projects – hey can you coat these. Well let’s backup, it started out – A couple of Stanford students walk into Mike’s Truck and ask, can you coat this sample material? Concerns are always, how well does the media handle temperatures heated to 180 which becomes even hotter as the exothermic reaction of the ‘A’ and ‘B’ parts are mixed at 1800 – 2500 psi. The cool thing about Polyurea is one can use anything to create the shape – foam, paper cups, light bulbs, card board boxes, etc. Once the item is coated Polyurea provides the structure and the substrate is no longer needed. It’s the elongation, adherence, and wear resistance that make it unique.

For Ocean One, Spray-On Bedliners of Silicon Valley coated parts. Always great to see a project come together – congratulations Stanford, specifically, the computer science dept that drove this to completion! Remember, from one salvage diver to another – our charter is the safe retrieval of lost objects.
