The Secret to Getting a Long Lasting Floor Coating

Filed under: Granitex,Misc — admin @ 12:10 pm

Why do 99% of floor coatings fail? You sand, strip, clean, bead blast, soda blast, diamond grind and even use muriatic acid. The floor sill flakes, chips, sticks to your tires, stains, etc. Whether you use epoxy paint, polymer coating, or even acrylic coatings, they all begin to fail in as little as three to six months, some times even sooner. When everything fails, what can you do?

Well, Vortex™ & Granitex™ coatings have great news. Everything depends on your prep work. Even when you clean, sand, strip, and etch the floor, there is still something missing. Super Sealer™ is an exclusive patented product only from the Vortex™ company & only for Vortex™ dealers.

Here is how Super Sealer™ works. Once the floor or other surface has been properly cleaned, you mix together the Super Sealer™ two part mix then roll it on with a standard ⅜” nap roller. This will soak into the concrete and penetrate deep into the capillary network within the concrete. As the Super Sealer™ starts to cure by its thermal conducting process, it will expand into the pores of the concrete, giving it a strong chemical & mechanical bond. After twenty-four hours of cure time, the Super Sealer™ can be coated with either of our patented Vortex™ or Granitex™ coatings which become chemically bonded to the Super Sealer™.

Granitex for a long term flooring solution

Filed under: Granitex — admin @ 5:09 pm

Looking for a concrete floor coating for your garage floor? The first thing that comes to many people’s minds when they are looking for a garage floor covering is some type of an epoxy floor. At first, epoxy floor paint seems like a very economical solution for a floor coating, but if you come back a couple years later (sometimes even a year later). You will see that your garage floor finish is now cracking, flaking and/or pealing. To keep your floor looking good, you will have to recoat the floor several times.

Granitex is an incredible long term solution for garage floor coating that will outlast paints & epoxies. Over the life of this product, it will cost you much less in material and labor to have an incredible looking floor. Granitex is great for commercial flooring situations such as showroom floors, studios or car washes, as well as an industrial coating where chemical resistance is key. Imagine running a maintenance bay or machine shop and not worrying about another concrete stain with Granitex’s incredible stain resistance.

Aliphatic Chemistry of Granitex™

Filed under: Granitex — admin @ 10:17 am

In organic chemistry, compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen are divided into two classes: aromatic & aliphatic. In aliphatic compounds, carbon atoms can be joined together in straight chains, branched chains, or non-aromatic rings which hold the carbon with single, double, or triple bonds. Aromatic compounds contain benzene rings or similar rings of atoms.

Polyurethane polymers are made up of isocyanates with two or more functional groups. Aromatically linked isocyanate groups are much more reactive than aliphatic groups but are much more affordable. This in one of the main reasons aliphatic isocyanates are only used in the final product when special properties such as high UV stability are required.

Most polyurethanes that use aromatic compounds interact with light and will discolor over time. Yellowing is the most common the result, although many compounds have structural breakdown as well. Granitex™ uses aliphatic isocyanates to produce a light stable coating that can withstand years of direct sunlight without discoloring or weakening.
