DID YOU KNOW?

  • Acid-cure finishes give off formaldehyde (a carcinogen) during the curing process which lasts more than 30 days
  • Oil-modified and acid-cure finishes emit very high VOC’s and harmful fumes causing the homeowner, pets, and plants to vacate the home for 2-3 days.
  • Both contain petroleum distillates which are combustible or flammable
  • Dry and cure times are two to three times longer than waterborne finishes

It has been a misconception that water-based finishes are not as durable as oil-modified finishes. In Taber test results, it is proven that waterborne finishes withstand the wear and tear of commercial and residential floors better than oil-modified finishes.
