Project of the Month: Citadel Stands Up To Cancer
October was Breast Cancer Awareness month, so we decided to re-do one of the women's bathrooms with the Polycuramine Metallic system. The floor turned out great!
Monthly Product Highlight: Cold Weather Products
CFFS Patent-Pending Adjustable Cure Rate Technology&tm; allows the floor coating installer to adjust the rate of cure and workability of the following materials based on ambient temperatures and humidity levels. Extremely tight installation timelines can be met or extended workability can be employed to provide showroom finishes at any temperature. Adjustable Cure Rate TechnologyT puts the power in the hands of the installer and will lead to increased productivity, a wider range of applications, and the ability to land the jobs that no other coatings can handle. These temperature ranges represent cure times based on 1 - 2 hours tack free at 60% Relative Humidity (RH). Higher humidity will accelerate these products and decrease the workability. Pre-conditioning of the materials to a minimum of 70?F will ensure proper cure times and product characteristics. In cold temperatures it is always suggested to heat the materials before use. In order to meet the 24 hour drive-on time required, it is imperative that the corresponding materials be used based on the temperatures listed below.

Tech Tip:
Maintaining Your Floor
CFFS Coating Systems demonstrate superior chemical and abrasion resistance and are designed to produce long-term, hard-wearing protection against chemical attack, dirt penetration, and everyday abuse. CFFS Coating Systems can be generally maintained with a routine program similar to any good-housekeeping procedures. Thorough sweeping and mopping to remove loose particles and soil along with the prompt removal of grease and other contaminants will prevent most CFFS Coating Systems from early deterioration.
