When the attendees heard the breaking news that polyurea will be used in the whole lane of Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway Project, they were amazed and excited by this giant polyurea protection project since the invention of polyurea in 1986. They would like to attend 2010' Polyurea Technology Expo, March 31-April 2, 2010 Beijing to experience the atmosphere of the great project of polyurea by their own and cheer for the rapid development of polyurea in China.
