WearTop
WearTop is the most innovative High Performance Coating UV finishing system for cork floors.
This new High Performance Coating system uses state-of-the-art finishing technology,
specially developed focusing the uniqueness of cork. This means that our floors will:
- Be more transparent
- Contain no organic solvents
- Be environmentally friendly
- Remain easy to maintain
- Look more natural
- Keep the natural comfort of cork
Using new, state-of-the-art resins which are extremely elastic and advanced nanoparticle
technology, WEARTOP finish offers unprecedented performance and an outstanding appearance.
Coating hardness and abrasion resistance are not achieved at the expense of flexibility.
Furthermore, WEARTOP offers optimal micro-scratch resistance. Rubbing the surface with steel wool
has negligible effect and no black marks are formed when the surface is scratched with a metal
object. The resistance to scratches and sanding marks caused by hard dirt particles and sand is
remarkably high, making WEARTOP the perfect coating for our everyday needs. Furthermore, WEARTOP
is completely stain resistant trough its higher chemical resistance.
In contrast to anti-abrasive top coats with ceramic/aluminium oxide, WEARTOP can be sanded and
is therefore easy to re-coat. The optimal balance provided by WEARTOP allows the cork flooring
to continue to be easily cleaned and maintained. Furthermore, due to the advanced nanoparticle
technology, the cork surface will have an outstanding appearance: smooth, warm, deep-clear
and natural.
One major ecological benefit of WEARTOP is that only reactive products are used: this means
that it is solvent free and especially environmental friendly. There is no organic solvents
and no VOC emission during processing, facilitating compliance with stringent environmental
regulations. WEARTOP is free of heavy metal, formaldehyde and insecticides/pesticides.
WEARTOP technology outperforms alternative products such as field applied finishes, standard
UV finishes and, in many cases, the so-called "e;ceramic"e; finishes.
