How do you prepare a new floor for QuantumCure™ application?
With new VCT installations all that is required is a clean, dust-free surface. Remove any traces of mastic and then dry mop or vacuum the floor to remove dust and other particles. Do not use a tack cloth, as it may leave traces of resin on the surface that will cause coating defects. QuantumCure™ can then be applied and cured immediately.
With new VCT installations it is desirable to remove the factory finish that was applied to the tiles during manufacture. This can be accomplished by wet-scrubbing with a mild alkaline detergent, followed by a water rinse. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the coating. Do not use a tack cloth, as it may leave traces of resin on the surface that will cause coating defects. QuantumCure™ can then be applied and cured immediately.
