General Finishes industrial/professional Enduro Water-based Tintable 2K coatings are ideally qualified for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) production, which requires functional properties that are essential to the performance and durability of industrial, transportation, and durable consumer products. In addition to our line of stock Enduro finishes, General Finishes can custom-make coatings for your specific OEM objectives.

Three features differentiate flooring topcoats

1. General Finishes flooring topcoat, Pro Image, is fortified with significantly more urethane to increase durability.
2. The slip rate of flooring topcoats is higher to improve floor safety and reduce the likelihood of slipping; approximately a 5.7 rating. For example, someone in socks is less likely to slip on a flooring finish, or a basketball player is less likely to slip on a good professional floor finish.

The hardness properties of a wood finish are formulated around the objectives of use. A hard finish is desirable on projects that get heavy wear such as kitchen cabinets or table tops.

But in other situations, such as an outdoor topcoat, a desired property of the finish is elongation, which allows the topcoat to expand and contract through different extremes of temperature.

A steam mop won't damage the finish film but it will force moisture into the wood between the boards or into any open scratched areas on the surface of the board. This could cause a de-lamination of the finish from the wood or damage to the wood itself. We recommend a commercial floor cleaner such as Bona floor cleaning system.
