Eco Curing Countertops


One of the challenges we have had was the curing time for countertops. We would ask the home owner to leave it for about 24 hours, then it needed gentle use while it hardened. Sometimes things would happen and we would be back to do a touch up, something we wanted to get past.
We recently changed the sealer coat to a UV cured system so that the surface of the countertop is fully cured when we leave the home. Not only do we have the benefit of an instantly cured surface, the finish is harder and more durable than the water based system we were previously using.
This is also a benefit for restaurants, hotels, motels, bars, commercial buildings etc. as they could close their business one day, and open the next day with their working surfaces ready to use!!
Because the product uses photo initiators, it actually has zero VOC's.
The finish is a little shinier, but enriches the colours for a truly beautiful finish.
