In response to the ever growing demand for Electro Static Dissipative (ESD) flooring products in the circuit board manufacturing industry Florock continues to meet the challenge head on.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/01/2009 -- In the Circuit Board Manufacturing business, static discharge can damage sensitive electronics. Precautions need to be taken to prevent static discharge in the workplace. One important step is the installation of ESD (Electro Static Dissipative) Flooring.

Marlin Technologies of Horicon Wisconsin is a full service provider of electronic controls. They design and manufacturer products to customer specification and conduct comprehensive product testing to ensure product reliability and durability.

To adhere to the ever changing rules effecting limits of Volatile Organic Content (VOC) in Industrial Maintenance Floor Coatings, Florock continues to roll out new products using less solvents.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/08/2009 -- The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new regulations in the form of 35 Ill. Adm Code Part 223. This proposal is expected to create new, lower limits for Volatile Organic content (VOC) in Industrial Maintenance Coatings used in Illinois. See http://www.ipcb.state.il.us/documents/dsweb/Get/Document-59819/

The National Rule is to limit the VOC content of Industrial Maintenance coatings to 420 grams per liter. VOC limits vary in some regions, states and counties such as; 340 grams per liter, 250 grams per liter and even 100 grams per liter. Many job specifications and corporate policies simply require zero VOC's. Crawford Laboratories, Inc President David Schmetterer discussed this very topic on YouTube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0pmCoUgZfI

A Florock Technical Service Department spokesman stated, "When we develop a low VOC alternative, there is a lot to consider. We do far more than just test for all of the usual physical properties. We have to be concerned with how the product will smell, we watch flow and leveling properties very closely, measure cure times, measure Flash Points and we layout finished systems to see how the product works in conjunction with other products. Only after this process is complete are we ready for our customers to try the products and put a new formulation out there."

What does all this mean to the Florock product line?

Say goodbye to System 3000. If you need a solvent based primer meeting 340 gpl VOC, see System 3700 http://www.florock.net/pdfs/Floropoxy3700.pdf Note – System 3700 is not a direct offset to system 3000 as the viscosity is much lower.

Say goodbye to Florock Florothane MC 45 (45% solids Aromatic Moisture Cure Urethane). When you need gloss retention and a hard mar-resistant surface, use Florock Florothane MC 60 (60% solids Aromatic Moisture Cure Urethane)

Say goodbye to Clear Aqua Prime. If your primer needs to be clear, there are plenty of remaining primers available.

Say goodbye to Florothane CR 420 (Chemical Resistant Urethane with a 420 gpl VOC). That's right it's the end of he line for this old workhorse. Florothane CR 250 (Chemical Resistant Urethane with a 250 gpl VOC) has been up and down the East & West coasts and is ready to take over.

Florock VOC formulation changes include:

Florothane MC Ultra 40 (40% solids Aliphatic Moisture Cure Urethane) has been lowered from 560 gpl VOC to 340 gpl VOC. The name has been changed to "Florothane MC Ultra 340." The new Tech data is located at http://www.florock.net/msds/R0-160.pdf

We are lowering the VOC of:

Florothane MC 60 (60% solids Aromatic Moisture Cure Urethane) from 398 gpl VOC to 340 gpl VOC.

FloroWear 7000 (System 7000 High Wear Urethane) from 413 gpl VOC to 250 gpl VOC.

Clear Florothane CR One Coat (Clear Chemical Resistant Urethane) from 348 gpl VOC to 340 gpl VOC – a minor "tweak."

Pre-pigmented Florothane CR One Coat (Pre-pigmented Chemical Resistant Urethane) from 375 gpl VOC to 340 gpl VOC – a minor "tweak."

In response to the ever growing demand for seamless flooring products with higher impact resistance, compressive strength and resistance to wear, Florock continues to meet the challenge head on.

Chicago, Illinois -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/26/2008 -- Florock's technical service has listened to customer requests and responded with a new concept being "rolled-out" this month.

Facilities that subject their floors to severe impact, shock and abrasion may need to have a polymeric mortar cap installed to restore the surface. A great deal of work goes into installing a new cap on the concrete, so it is important to install one that will last. This was the task facing the Florock R&D team.

Tom Lux, Field Technical Manager for Florock said, "The key to improving a flooring surface's ability to absorb severe shock from impact is to incorporate metal into the product. The traditional mortar used for capping badly spalled flooring surfaces is made from epoxy activator and graded aggregates. The key here was to use graded metal particles in the overlay system. These metal particles offer very high compressive strength which increases the modulus of elasticity – that is the product's resistance to deformation."

Crawford Laboratories, Inc. responded with immediate action upon the discovery of ground contamination at the site of the proposed Taylor-Lauridsen Park expansion project.

Chicago, Illinois -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/15/2008 -- The fate of the project was unknown ever since ground contamination was detected at the site. Underground storage tanks from the adjacent property (Crawford Laboratories, Inc.) had been taken out of service decades earlier, yet unbeknownst to Crawford Laboratories, Inc., contamination was already in the ground.

Crawford Laboratories, Inc., a manufacturer of the Florock line of Polymer Flooring Products, took immediate action. David Schmetterer, President of Crawford Laboratories, Inc. said "We saved all of our old insurance policies. Without these, the contamination would have spelled disaster for both the neighborhood park project and Crawford Laboratories, Inc. Over one million dollars of insurance proceeds were used to clean up the contamination. Dealing with insurance companies, lawyers, environmental engineers, soil remediation contractors, the Attorney General's office, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the city of Chicago Department of Environment was exhausting and distracting from our business goals. Nevertheless, the cleanup was completed and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has issued a Draft NFR (No Further Remediation) letter paving the way for the park project."

Officials from the City of Chicago Park District, James Balcer (Alderman of the 11th Ward in Chicago, Illinois since 1997), State Representative Esther Golar and John P. Daley (11th Ward Democratic Committeeman in Chicago, Illinois, a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners 11th District, and the Chair of the Cook County Board Audit and Finance Committee) officiated the Taylor-Lauridsen Park (aka Boyce Field) June 25, 2008 groundbreaking ceremony. The long awaited Taylor-Lauridsen Park expansion will benefit the "Canaryville" Chicago neighborhood.

Vietnam’s manufacturing boom yields demand for high tech polymeric floor coatings

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/17/2008 -- The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is experiencing a manufacturing growth surge. As a result of this growth, manufactures of electronics, automobile components, pharmaceuticals and other high tech industries are building modern manufacturing facilities at a fast pace. Along with the construction of these manufacturing facilities comes the need for high tech polymeric floor coatings.

Nhatviet Co. Ltd. is the leading installer of Polymeric coatings in Vietnam and recently announced it formed an alliance with Florock. Nguyen Tuan Anh, director of Nhatviet Co. Ltd., obtained his MBA in Boston and went on to establish a business with over 80 full time employees and multiple facilities throughout Vietnam. Their main office is located in Hanoi, with branch offices in DaNang and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

During a workshop in Hanoi on May 27, 2008, Nhatviet Co. Ltd. was presented with the exclusive distribution rights to Florock Brand Polymeric Coatings throughout the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. http://www.florock.net/images/epoxycoatingvietnam.jpg

The director, Nguyen Tuan Anh and 25 of his sales and marketing personnel took part in the Florock workshop. David Schmetterer, Vice President of Crawford Laboratories (manufacturer of Florock) said "This was very productive. We were able to determine which Florock products are best suited for the Vietnam market and the most efficient way to introduce them."

Florock’s Liquid Applied Flooring System enables Nickelodeon Universe to remain fully open during the resurfacing of 88,000 square feet of flooring.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/06/2008 -- The largest indoor amusement park recently transformed from "Camp Snoopy" to "Nickelodeon Universe." This change mandated 88,000 square feet of flooring to be resurfaced while the park remained open and with minimal disturbance to the park guests. Utilizing Florock's Liquid Applied Flooring System, Nickelodeon Universe was able to do just that.

Camp Snoopy flooring surfaces (located inside the Mall of America) were an earth tone color and featured meandering Cobblestone pathways throughout. View U-tube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql76Adp8bog Nickelodeon Universe wanted all of the flooring surfaces to be vibrant clean and feature Nickelodeon colors. Additionally, the Cobblestone pathways needed to be "erased" to form a smooth, uniform surface.

View pictorial http://www.florock.net/repository.htm#Cobblestone

The Mall is open daily and thus nightly shutdowns do not provide sufficient time to apply and cure conventional epoxy coatings. The job had to be done with Florock Florocryl Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). See http://www.florock.net/florocryl.htm

Brian Smith, Technical manager for Florock said "The Florock Florocryl is cured in less then one hour, allowing the contractor to apply multiple coats per night."

A smooth surface can be achieved while expending minimal material and labor using Florock Gelled Epoxy Coating.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/08/2008 -- When a rough & textured surface needs to be restored to a smooth surface, Florock Gelled Epoxy coating can do the job. A smooth surface can be achieved with minimal material and labor expense through a combination of grinding and the application of gelled epoxy grout.

In the following example, a stamped concrete "Cobblestone" pathway was found throughout the Camp Snoopy Amusement Park located inside the Mall of America. The rough pathway needed to be "erased" and converted to a smooth surface for rebirth as the Nickelodeon Universe Amusement Park. To accomplish this, the contractor had to initially grind the Cobblestone to reduce the profile, and then apply the Florock Gelled Epoxy coating.

To view a photo of the ground "Cobblestone" before & after the application of Florock Epoxy Gelled Epoxy coating, go to http://www.florock.net/repository.htm#Cobblestone

Next, the contractor must again grind to perfect the profile and then apply the Florock Pre Pigmented Primer. To view a photo of the primer, after grinding the Florock Gelled Epoxy coating, go to http://www.florock.net/repository.htm#Grinding

The Florock Pre-pigmented Topcoat was then applied. To view the final product, go to http://www.florock.net/repository.htm#PrepigmentedTopcoat

Joe Miller, the owner of Northland Floor Coatings said "The Florock Epoxy cures quickly and hard. It sands to a fine powder, providing us with a great surface for top coating."

When the cost of most of the ingredients used to produce epoxy floor coatings are on the rise, how can the price be kept under control to provide a competitive epoxy floor coating?

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/03/2008 -- Walter Szczerski, purchasing manager for Florock said "Even though the material costs are on the rise, there are factors we still have control over, which we can use to keep costs down:

1. By maintaining several qualified vendors for each material, we retain a competitive edge on the cost of epoxy floor coatings. When the primary vendor for a material presents an increase, there is a chance that one of our "back up" vendors for this item is willing to hold to the current price in exchange for making them our new primary vendor or that item.
2. By taking control of inbound freight for materials, we retain a competitive edge on the cost of epoxy floor coatings. When we shop for the freight cost of inbound materials and use the carrier who gives us the best value, we always enjoy a better cost then just telling the vendor to select a carrier to use for delivery.
3. By negotiating on the cost of materials, we retain a competitive edge on the cost of epoxy floor coatings. We offer to purchase a grouping of materials from a vendor in exchange for a discount on price. We offer to purchase in larger quantities in exchange for a discount on price. We offer to remit promptly in exchange for a discount on price".

Epoxy flake flooring is a decorative, economical flooring system utilized primarily by professional flooring contractors but has recently become a popular solution for the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) market.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/06/2007 -- When cracked or worn concrete flooring needs to be restored to a decorative and easy to maintain finish, epoxy flake flooring is a popular choice.

Epoxy flake flooring involves:
1-Preparation of the surface to be coated
2-Priming the prepared surface
3-Application of the color basecoat
4-Broadcast of the vinyl color flakes into the wet basecoat
5-Application of clear topcoat
6-Optional application of high performance finish coat

Sharon Payne, the marketing manager for Florock said "The main problem with the DIY market lies in preparation. The DIY market just does not have the equipment or experience to properly prepare the surface for coating." Betty Head, President of Floorpro said "Our experience is that the DIY Market is quick to finish the job, and do not see the harm in skipping some important steps, like the application of primer and the application of a finish coat."

When contractors ask for better and more qualified leads, it signals the need to overhaul the Telemarketing Department.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/14/2007 -- When contractors demand better leads it is instrumental to begin anew with telemarketing scripts, redefined lead qualifications, and utilizing email for distributing literature for quicker response to the end users needs.

Florock manufactures over 200 different types of flooring systems. They work with the project manager to select the system that is right for them. A new ballpark pricing system was put into place to make sure the end-user had realistic cost expectations. Before any lead goes out, size, type of industry, time frame, budget and best time to reach the end-user are all confirmed.

Tom Lux, Florock Manager said "This eliminates a lot of wasted time for Florock applicators. When they get a project there is specific work to quote as opposed to just a name and a number."

The Florock Telemarketing Department doesn't stop at finding the lead. They also help to close. The telemarketer's have the responsibility of following the project until it is sold or it dies. They follow up on literature, applicator's meeting, quotes and where the end-user is at making a decision.

All of the telemarketing hard work has been paying off. On average, Florcok produces more than 40 leads a month with goals to increase that number. Florock's new telemarketing system has delivered over $100,000 in monthly sales to their applicators.

Ron Puszynski of Concare Inc. said "Florock's telemarketing is head and shoulders above the competition. We have been able to close some significant projects because of their efforts,"

Florock's Florowear 7000 High Wear Urethane delivers faster cure time and durability, thus resists unnecessary bleeding under tape.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/10/2007 -- When safety line marking is desired, some important factors are appearance, speed of cure and durability. Aside from being too slow to cure or wearing prematurely, conventional safety line marking products wick or bleed under the tape, causing fuzzy lines.

Only one thin layer of FloroWear is necessary to achieve the resistance of a much thicker traditional floor coating system.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/10/2007 -- To achieve a high wearing floor surface, traditional floor coating systems have to be thick. Conversely, Florock's FloroWear High Wear Urethane wear resistance is so high, only one thin layer is necessary to achieve the resistance of a much thicker traditional floor coating system.

The key to a high wear resistant floor coating system is to incorporate a very hard mineral into the resin. Aluminum Oxide, with a Mohs hardess of 9, is floured and used in the formulation. (Aluminum Oxide is commonly used as the abrasive media in sandpaper). Tom Lux, Florock's Field Technical Manager said "This product is so hard, if you ever want to recoat, it will be difficult since sanding the product wears out the sandpaper".

Florock's Quote Program for flooring contractors saves valuable time and minimizes quoting errors.

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/06/2007 -- Routinely, a seamless flooring contractor is under pressure to write a bid for a resinous floor coating project, thus hurrying to estimate the costs of material and freight. Estimating the costs too high or to low can result in losing the bid or winning with insufficient markup. With the new Florock quote program, the seamless floor coating contractor can quickly obtain an accurate detailed quote for materials & freight, so the task of creating a bid can begin with an accurate foundation.

"It all starts with a call from the contractor to 1-800-FLOROCK" said David Schmetterer, Vice President of Crawford Laboratories, Inc. A Florock representative will quickly record all pertinent facts, such as the type of system required, the number and thickness of coats, color, performance requirements, size, delivery destination, and how much overage to calculate. The Florock customer service team will immediately prepare a detailed quote, complete with delivery cost. The seamless flooring quote will show how much material is included, packaging information, terms of sale and destination. The bottom line (cost per square foot) is clearly indicated so the contractor may quickly plug this cost into their markup scheme. When a quote ultimately becomes a project, there is no guesswork trying to determine what materials were planned. The contractor simply directs the Florock support team to turn a previous quote into an order. According to Russ Geiger of Floortech in Tampa Fl., "When we are on the move, we do not have time to run back to the office to do all of the necessary calculations to accurately estimate the materials cost. The Florock quote program enables us to do what we do best, without sacrificing the accuracy of our bids."
