Polymer produces high-solids floor finishes.

Polymer produces high-solids floor finishes.

MegatranÂ-® 248 produces floor finish formulations that are easily applied and repaired, and perform well over wide range of temperatures and humidities. Glossy finishes respond well to burnishing, low-speed spray buffing, and frequent ultra-high-speed maintenance. Use of sulfate and sulfonate groups attached to polymer backbone stabilize polymer emulsion particles during drying process.
