History of Polyurea
Gen 1: Aromatic Polyurea
The 1st generation emerged in the early 1990s. Characterized by extremely fast reaction times, posing challenges in application and adhesion.
Gen 2 – Aliphatic Polyurea
By the early 2000s, the 2nd generation developed. Featured significant improvements in hardness, chemical resistance, and reduced VOCs.
Gen 3 – Polyaspartic Polyurea
The 3rd generation is an aliphatic polyurea derived from an aliphatic polyisocyanate with an aliphatic diamine. Essentially a slowed-down version.
Why Choose MPU Polyurea Coatings
MPU Polyurea Coatings
MPU polyurea coatings are a series of products with diverse performance consisting of polyaspartic acid ester resins or other amino compounds, and bio-based polyol resins, used in conjunction with UV-resistant aliphatic modified curing agents.
This is the third-generation handcrafted polyurea coating, which can be sprayed or hand-brushed. All main materials are produced by MPU. Suitable for various types of ground substrates.
MPU polyurea coating technology offers the most durable coating, with fast drying times and unmatched quick recovery, making it ideal for one-day installations.
Latent Curing Technology
High-performance polyurea and polyurethane often suffer from rapid reaction speeds and short working times, causing significant challenges in practical applications. MPU polyurea polyurethane utilizes latent curing technology to effectively reduce the initial reactivity of the material, extending the working time without compromising the final curing speed and material performance.
Advantages Of MPU Polyurea Coating
- Extended open time, long working time
- Rapid hardness development, reducing construction period
- High crosslink density
- High final hardness
- High chemical resistance, excellent anti-corrosion properties, suitable for heavy-duty anti-corrosion applications
- Toughness, hard but not brittle, impact resistant

Impact Absorption, Abrasion Resistance, and Hardness
MPU utilizes unique polyol technology, ensuring material performance. The polyol components provide suitable toughening, guaranteeing MPU’s impact resistance. MPU contains a substantial amount of urea and amine bonds, which can absorb and release various external stresses. As demonstrated in the tensile performance graph, MPU is a high energy-storage material. It offers hardness while resisting impact and abrasion damage. This is especially important for heavy-duty flooring systems and extending the material’s lifespan.
