Dr Jonas Tendyck (32) has headed product management in the Resin Flooring division for five years and has also served as Technical Director Reactive Resins of the DACH region at MC-Bauchemie since 2024. We spoke with the PhD chemist about the special features and advantages of the new MC-DUR TopSpeed flex plus surface protection system, which can be used both as an OS 8 and an OS 11a system.

Our goal is always to find a long-lasting solution – not just a quick one.

Dr Tendyck, MC-DUR TopSpeed flex plus is considered an innovative step forward in car park coatings. What makes it so special?

The key advancement lies in the combination of sustainability and performance. The system not only meets the requirements of a rigid OS 8 system but, despite around 50% less material and reduced layer thicknesses, also fulfils all requirements of an OS 11a system.

This significantly reduces material consumption compared with a standard OS 11a build-up while fully meeting all requirements for crack bridging, adhesion, and wear resistance. It’s an important step towards resource-efficient construction.

How did you achieve this level of performance despite the reduced layer thickness?

We use products with optimised binders to achieve higher elasticity and wear resistance using less material. At the same time, the products also feature the proven KineticBoost® technology, which allows extremely fast curing even at low temperatures and high humidity. As a result, the systems can be applied without enclosures or heating and with minimal downtime – a significant advantage, especially for winter refurbishments or exposed decks.

The system not only meets the requirements of a rigid OS 8 system but, despite using around 50% less material, also fulfils all requirements of an OS 11a system.
Dr Jonas Tendyck

How important is sustainability in the development of such systems?

Very important. To us, sustainability means more than just reducing plastic content; it also means extending the service life of our systems. A coating that lasts 15 or 20 years saves enormous amounts of material, energy and CO₂ over its lifetime. This long service life is primarily achieved through the excellent wear resistance, as proven by PAT test results. Our goal is always to find a long-lasting solution – not just a quick one. MC-DUR TopSpeed flex plus contributes to exactly this: lower resource consumption with longer service life.

For which applications is the new system particularly suitable?

The system is ideal for heavily frequented car parks, ramps and upper decks, and for areas subject to high mechanical and weather-related loads. Thanks to its high wear resistance and crack-bridging capability, it is suitable for OS 8 and OS 11a applications. It is also the ideal choice for situations where coating work must be completed quickly and/or under challenging conditions. In addition, the surface offers excellent cleanability, and high colour stability, which is particularly important in bright car parks or those requiring specific corporate colours.

So, what does the introduction of this MC-DUR TopSpeed flex plus surface protection system mean for MC and the industry as a whole?

For us, it is a clear commitment to innovation. We demonstrate that technical performance and ecological responsibility are not mutually exclusive. For planners, operators and applicators, this creates real added value in the form of shorter closure times, less effort and a sustainable contribution to preserving infrastructure. I am convinced that our MC-DUR TopSpeed flex plus system will set new standards in car park construction in the future.
