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
- Superior wear resistance

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.

Water And Chemical Resistance
1. Unique Properties of Polyol Resin in MPU Polyurea
Polyurethane
The polyol resin used in MPU polyurea polyurethane features a low
ether oxygen atom content and an aromatic structure, leading to high hydrophobicity.
2. Hydrophobicity and Water Resistance
The high
hydrophobicity of MPU polyols results in low moisture sensitivity and excellent water resistance
during the isocyanate curing process.
3. Superior Heat and Acid-Base Resistance
Compared to
typical polyether-based polyurethanes, MPU polyurea polyurethane's increased aromatic structures
offer superior heat resistance and acid-base resistance.
4. Absence of Hydrolyzable Ester Bonds
Unlike
polyester-based polyurethanes, MPU polyurea polyurethane does not contain easily hydrolyzable
ester bonds, enhancing its durability.
5. Enhanced Solvent Resistance and Mechanical
Strength
The combination of aromatic and aliphatic chains, along with numerous
urea bonds, provides MPU with excellent solvent resistance, acid and alkali resistance, water
resistance, mechanical strength, and hydrophobicity.
