CRU-100
Superior Durability; Surpasses VOC Requirements
JUNE, 2005 — Like many trends, this one began in California and is now spreading throughout the US: “green,” environmentally conscious construction is gaining a foot hold, driving specifiers’ and owners’ product selections. Many states are considering or implementing new and stricter rules to limit the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that concrete floor coatings can emit. Finding reliable products that comply with regulations is a challenge contractors simply cannot ignore.
Meeting this need, Valspar Flooring is pleased to introduce CRU-100, a low VOC urethane coating that delivers unsurpassed durability while meeting VOC rules.
VOC compliance + outstanding abrasion resistance...
Equally important to its VOC emissions compliance, CRU-100 offers outstanding abrasion resistance. Designed for areas exposed to strong chemical spills and heavy industrial traffic, Valspar’s CRU-100 is a unique, two component, high solids and extremely tough urethane. “During product testing, we tried to scratch it up with various methods,” recalls Mark Milewski, technical services manager for Valspar Flooring. “Nothing caused a scratch, not even grinding sand into the surface. This urethane’s resistance to abrasion is simply one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
Versatile uses...
This moisture-cured, low odor urethane is perfect for automotive bays, aircraft hangars, pharmaceutical laboratories and any area where chemical spills or heavy traffic is the norm. Offered in clear and—utilizing Valspar’s CRU-100 Color Additive technology—pigmented versions, CRU-100 sports a gloss finish and excellent UV resistance that can extend the useful life of high-use floors. It is easy to use, packaged in pre-portioned units for error-free mixing and application on the job site. Advanced chemistry gives CRU-100 an extended pot life once opened, providing you more valuable time to work with the product on the job site. CRU-100 also features quick dry times: tack-free at 6 hours and walkable after only 14 hours.
When you need an ultra-tough urethane that meets VOC regulations, look no further than Valspar’s CRU-100. You can trust Valspar Flooring for rugged and reliable products that will protect your customer’s floors as well as your reputation to meet their requirements.
