• Floor coverings begin with porous surfaces. Light is diffused when it bounces into the pores.

• Begin by applying multiple coats of Fusion Floor Seal/Finish.

• Apply a final coat of TA² Penetrating Hardener.

• It penetrates into existing floor seal/finish and bonds with floor seal/finish, leaving a thin micro-layer on the surface.

• Burnishing causes a chemical transformation that fuses the TA² Penetrating Hardener and Fusion Floor Seal/Finish into one super coat.

• The soil from the environment in conjunction with traffic is the primary cause of erosion. Soil abrades the surface by making tiny superficial scratches in the finish. This causes the floor to look dull, creating traffic patterns in the floor finish.

• Superficial soil: Dry service procedures.

• Spots & spills: Spot mopping.

• Light soil: Wet mopping with neutral cleaner.

• Moderate soil: Aggressive mopping and/or automatic scrubbing procedures.

• Daily or routine coating maintenance procedures such as conditioning/restoring followed by burnishing are incorporated to restore gloss.

back     top

• Restorers fill the scratches with a thin film that responds to burnishing.

• Conditioners chemically condition the floor to respond to burnishing without leaving a film.

• These procedures restore the level of gloss to the floor, but do little to provide protection.

• TA² Penetrating Hardener repairs the tiny superficial scratches that cause dullness, restores the gloss and hardens the surface as part of the routine maintenance.

• Unlike conventional products it is only necessary to apply the TA² Penetrating Hardener in the worn traffic areas.

• The product penetrates into and bonds with the existing Fusion Floor Seal/Finish.

• Burnishing fuses the TA² Penetrating Hardener and Fusion Floor Seal/Finish into one super coat.

• The effect of erosion impacts all hard floor surfaces. When conditioners and restorers cease to be affective on these areas, periodic maintenance procedures are required. Periodic maintenance addresses more aggressive soil blitzing than scrubbing and recoating procedures.

• Heavy soiling has a liquid binder that has penetrated into the floor finish.

• Petroleum, grease and fat soiling are very difficult to remove – requiring specific chemicals and machine agitation.

• Embedded soiling has been ground into the floor finish but is still exposed on the surface.

• Encapsulated soiling happens when soil is trapped between coats of floor finish.

• Incorporates the scrub and recoat procedure to address the traffic patterns.

• After machine scrubbing 1-2 coats of floor finish is applied over the entire floor.

• Over time these scrub and recoats contribute to build up along the edges.

• Edge build-up is one of the major contributors that lead to stripping and refinishing.

• TA² Penetrating Hardener used in conjunction with Fusion Floor Seal/Finish can repair the floor.

• Instead of applying multiple coats of floor finish over the entire area, apply floor finish to the traffic wear area only.

• Apply a coat of TA² Penetrating Hardener over the area (extending beyond the area where the new floor finish was applied).

• The product penetrates into and bonds the new finish with the new finish with the existing floor seal and/or finish.

• Burnishing fuses the TA² Penetrating Hardener and Fusion Floor Seal/Finish into one super coat.

• Extending the strip cycle is the objective of the system. Ultimately the floor will have to be stripped and refinished. Removal of old seal/finish is easy with High Voltage Stripper. Once the multiple coats of Fusion Floor Seal/Finish have been reapplied, apply TA² Penetrating Hardener; it penetrates into and bonds with the seal/finish. Burnishing fuses the two together into one super coat and the cycle begins anew.

• Successful hard floor maintenance programs contain three primary components:

Chemical System

Equipment

Standardized Service Procedures

• The foundation of the entire hard floor maintenance program begins with the selection of the chemical system. The system will dictate the types of equipment required and the service procedures to perform.

• Maintain “Wet Look” using less product.

• Extends the strip cycle.

• Strengthens floor finish.

• Outstanding slip resistance.

• Easy to apply and remove.

• Suitable for most floor coverings.

• Fusion Seal/Finish

• TA² Penetrating Hardener

• Neutral Cleaner

• Advantage All-Purpose Cleaner

• Safety Step Conditioner

• High Voltage Stripper

• Establishing a solid foundation is a key component to a long-term floor maintenance program. The heart of the chemical system is the base seal/finish.

• High Solids Content (21% Solids)

• Extremely durable polymers

• Exceptional protection against aggressive soils.

• Made of 100% clear acrylic polymers and resins, this crystal clear coating advocates an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

• Coating will not naturally yellow from lighting or sunlight and will remain clear with proper maintenance.

• The reflectivity of the coating is among the highest, producing a sharp mirror like gloss that is easily repaired.

• Distinctive chemical engineering

• Water-based impregnating formulation

• Resilient and flexible

• Exceptional hardness

• TA² Penetrating Hardener incorporates micro-polymers much smaller in size than conventional floor seals and/or finishes. When you compare these polymers with conventional floor finish and/or seal polymers, it is like comparing a golf ball to volleyball.

• When the TA² Penetrating Hardener is applied, the micro polymers penetrate into the floor seal and/or finish filling the spaces between the larger polymers.

• Heat and friction generated by ultra high-speed burnishing bond the polymers together and harden them into one super coat.

• Hard yet flexible, TA² Penetrating Hardener responds quickly to burnishing, which produces excellent results in terms of resiliency and the ability to return to its original gloss.

• TA² Penetrating Hardener alone or in conjunction with Fusion Floor Seal/Finish can be used to patch traffic areas. The ability to repair or patch damaged or worn traffic areas are key benefits to the system.

• All chemical products developed using ASTM Standard Test Methods. Fusion Floor Seal/Finish and TA² Penetrating Hardener have met the required standards for coefficient of friction in accordance with ASTM Designation 2047-99.
