Floor Finish- Spartan I -Shine



iSHINE
Optical Enhancers Provide Shining Results


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
iShine is a 25% high solids floor finish that employs patented optically enhanced polymer technology that amplifies the over all gloss appearance and clarity of your floors. The unique blend possesses cutting edge raw materials to form a high solids finish that provides total protection in just four coats of finish.

EXCELLENT GLOSS AND CLARITY:
In a 31-day test of iShine and a competitive product, iShine out-performed the competition in overall gloss, wear resistance, and gloss retention. With a higher than average gloss build and better than average gloss retention, iShine is proven effective over the competitions’ performance.

NON-YELLOWING, TRUE COLOR ENHANCEMENT:
iShine reflects the true coloration of flooring. Although an opalescence white product in the container, the product dries crystal clear and will not discolor or cast any yellowing tones to the floor. The actual color of the floor covering shines through while optical enhancers perfect blemishes.

PROTECTION PERFORMANCE:
iShine is a durable finish that has excellent scuffmark, water spot, black heel mark and powder resistance. The 25% solids floor finish is formulated to provide maximum protection.

SAVE ON LABOR COSTS - QUICK BUILIDING:
Since only four coats of finish are needed with iShine to provide superior protection, labor costs are minimized. And, unlike most high solids finishes, the new technology found in iShine creates great ease of application and incredible leveling. iShine’s high solid formula builds quickly offering more protection in each coat making 100% coverage easy to achieve with just four coats.


DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Some individuals may be sensitive to ingredients in this product. Before using, read product label and MSD sheet. If questions remain, consult your employer or a physician. Wet floors may be slippery. Prevent pedestrian traffic with signs or barricades.

Initial Application:
  1. Completely strip all old wax or floor finish. Depending upon build-up, use warm or room temperature water (80OF - 120OF) or (26C – 49C) and a Spartan Stripper:
  2. Remove all stripping solution and follow with two to three clear water rinses.
  3. When flooring is old, abused or damaged, we recommend two coats of a Spartan Sealer, although iShine may be used as a self-sealing finish.
