Abstract:
Vinyl composition tile, luxury vinyl tile, and polished concrete floors all require regular applications of protective coatings or sealers to maintain their initial appearance. To lower maintenance costs for such floors and make them more environmentally friendly, nanotechnology-based coatings and sealers are becoming a valuable option.
