Tennant Company Introduces Flexible Membrane Epoxy
The Tennant® Eco-FLEX™ epoxy reduces cracks due to vibrations and provides waterproof protectionMINNEAPOLIS—(August 1, 2007)— Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of surface maintenance equipment and coatings, today announced the introduction of a flexible membrane epoxy. Tennant Eco-FLEX epoxy is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective epoxy that maintains and enhances the appearance of seamless decorative flooring in areas prone to cracking due to vibrations and slab movement.
“The Tennant Eco-FLEX epoxy is waterproof, flexible and prevents cracking due to slab movement and vibrations—including vibrations from noise and movement, which makes it a highly versatile product applicable to many markets,” said Mike More, group marketing manager with Tennant Company. “From mezzanines in sports stadiums to mechanical rooms in commercial facilities, the Tennant Eco-FLEX epoxy offers superior protection while enhancing a floor’s appearance.”
Specifically, the Tennant Eco-FLEX epoxy enhances a floor’s appearance by reducing cracking in areas subject to damage from vibrations or sub-floor movement; continues to flex and bend and to withstand cracking throughout the life of the coating; deadens sound; and reduces the risk of water damage to areas below the coated surface.
Part of the Tennant Eco-Advantage® family of coatings, Eco-FLEX, like the other coatings in the Eco-Advantage family, are known for being environmentally friendly, meaning they:
- require less solvent, which reduces evaporation and contamination;
- are essentially odor-free, which assists with indoor air quality; and
- contain a maximum VOC level of 250 g/L, which supports architects and designers in gaining one Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credit (Eco-FLEX contains a maximum VOC level of just 4 g/L).
