On floor guard
October 1st 2011 3M,the diversified technology company,
has unveiled its new high performance
Scotchgard Floor Protector, specifically
designed for stone floors
The new Scotchgard Stone Floor Protector by 3M is said to
provide finishes that deliver a highly durable shine with less
labour and at a lower total cost than acrylic floor products.
Compared to traditional acrylic finishes, which require up to four
coats on initial application, Scotchgard Stone Floor Protector needs
only two coats to produce a clean, safe, glossy
floor that is less susceptible to scuffs, black
marks, stains and scratches than
conventional products.
The finish lasts for up to a year with
minimal maintenance. Not only is it six times
more abrasion-resistant than acrylic finishes;
it also resists water, stains and dirt, so
finished floors are easily cleaned by dusting
and wet mopping. Burnishing is required
once or twice a month depending on traffic
levels, as opposed to several times a week with acrylic finishes.
James Gravestock, general sales & marketing manager at 3M
Building & Commercial Services Division comments:"By reducing the
periodic maintenance – burnishing, scrubbing, stripping and
recoating – associated with acrylic products, our new Scotchgard
Stone Floor Protector can save you up to 60% on your annual floor
care labour and chemicals costs, while prolonging the life of your
floor."
When it's time to reapply, no stripping or deep scrubbing is
required – the floor can simply be cleaned and recoated. Only a
single coat need be re-applied for another year of protection.
Scotchgard Stone Floor Protector is easy to apply and quick to dry
and floors can be returned to use in as little as one hour,minimising
costly downtime. For optimum delivery, the
3M Easy Shine Applicator Kit helps to reduce
waste and increase productivity. Its unique
'back-pack' application doesn't require
pouring or mixing chemicals, allowing for a
safer application with less waste and mess.
The Scotchgard Stone Floor Protector is
designed to use on marble, terrazzo,
concrete and other porous stone surfaces. More articles from 3M UK Plc: |
