Why Believe Everyones Marketing When You Can Compare the Math?

Time after time VerMeister finishes have been proven to be superior to competing finshes. The research below will help you make the right decision when choosing the finish for your next project. Choose VerMeister -- Italian Elegance for Everyday Floors

Nano Technology:
By using the latest in Nano Scale System (NNS) technology, Hi Tech 1k has a very high scratch resistance. Related to the hardness of Nano compound, Hi Tech 1k has a drastically improved scratch resistance over typical single component waterbornes. This Nano compound has particles smaller than light waves so the finish appears transparent while being extremely hard. As a result, Hi Tech 1k the same scratch resistance as the highest quality two-component waterborne finishes.

Cutting Edge Research:
Hi Tech 1k represents an amazing achievement in product innovation. Featuring the Self Cross Linking System (S-XL), Hi Tech 1k is actually a two-component finish in one bottle. Activated by pH levels, Hi Tech 1k crosslinks perfectly and only when the finish dries.

This works because the crosslinker in Hi Tech 1k is linked to the resin of the finish. The pH level (or concentration of Hydrogen) of Hi Tech is a constant between 7 & 8. At this neutral pH level the crosslinker is “blocked” from reacting with the finish. As the finish dries, the water (H2O) evaporates and the pH level rises. After the pH level reaches a certain point, the crosslinker “activates” and the finish catalyzes (similar to two-component products). The end result is a finish that behaves very similar to a two-component aziridine product but in a safer, trouble free, no waste and single component form.

New Level in Durability
Internationally regulated by extremely strict, specific and exact testing procedures, equipment and methods, there are three tests that manufacturers commonly use to measure the durability of the products they produce. While many, many other factors come into play when creating a finish (i.e. flow and leveling, sheen, ease of use, stain compatibility, dry times) durability is a very important aspect. These tests (which again are regulated by international standards, guidelines and procedures) are broken down into three categories, Abrasion Resistance, Scratch Resistance, and Chemical Resistance.


  Chemical Resistance
Product Name Abrasion Resistance Scratch Resistance Water Alcohol 48%
Competitor A 102 110 5 2
Competitor B 81 90 5 2
Competitor C 58 80 5 3

Competative Advantage:
Save money and leave your competitors in the dust. Compare the product durability of Hi Tech 1k to other single component waterbornes and nothing else comes close. In fact, Hi Tech 1k performs like a two-component waterborne finish but without the mixing, waste, or higher price. In the end you can offer a far superior product to your customers and have the durability numbers to back it up.
