In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly vital, finding environmentally friendly building materials is paramount. AmeriCove stands out as a prime example of innovation in this regard. Combining durability, flexibility, and eco-friendliness, AmeriCove offers a long-term solution for your epoxy flooring needs while minimizing environmental impact.
Superior Material Composition
AmeriCove is crafted from a high-density polyurethane composite resin and is used with epoxy and other cementitious floor systems. This material boasts a closed-cell structure, providing unparalleled protection against solvents and rendering it almost completely hydrophobic. What does this mean for you? It means the cove base won’t rot, swell, or deteriorate over time, whether indoors or outdoors.
But AmeriCove isn’t just about longevity; it’s also about performance. Its flexibility allows for easy installation and shaping, making it ideal for various applications. Plus, it offers superior impact resistance, ensuring your floors coving stays pristine even in high-traffic areas.
Green Advantages of AmeriCove
What truly sets AmeriCove apart is its eco-friendly design. Unlike many traditional building materials, AmeriCove is manufactured with sustainability in mind. Let’s delve into some of the green advantages it offers:
Low Global Impact:
The polyurethane elastomer used in AmeriCove contains 100% solids, meaning no solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released during its production or use. This not only benefits indoor air quality but also reduces the product’s overall environmental footprint.
Resource Efficiency:
A significant portion of AmeriCove’s polyurethane elastomer is derived from renewable resources, accounting for 0.07% of its composition. By utilizing renewable materials, AmeriCove reduces dependence on petroleum-based products, further contributing to sustainability efforts.
Installation Made Easy
One of the key advantages of AmeriCove is its ease of installation. Unlike some traditional materials that require specialized tools or adhesives, AmeriCove can be worked with using woodworking equipment and industrial strength construction adhesive. Whether you’re cutting, sanding, or shaping, AmeriCove lends itself to effortless customization.
When it comes to fastening AmeriCove to walls, using BOSS® 535 Polyurethane Sealant ensures a secure bond. Additionally, applying non-silicone caulking to joints allows for proper bridging, ensuring a seamless finish.
Maintenance and Finishing
Keeping AmeriCove looking its best is simple. Prior to coating, wipe down the material with acetone to remove any debris. For ongoing maintenance, a mild solvent or cloth is all that’s needed to clean dirt or grease that may accumulate over time.For optimal results use Americote’s Super Cleaner.
AmeriCove’s paint-grade composition means it works seamlessly with resinous coatings, such as epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic. Allowing you to customize the appearance of your floors to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Conclusion
Americove’s unique polyurethane composition, combined with its eco-friendly design, makes it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious consumers seeking long-term solutions for their floors.
