As a case study, Kinloch USA, in cooperation with PIB Homes, hypothesized that the NANO1000 clear treatment could be applied over a stained concrete residential slab and virtually protect the slab for the life of the construction project. This is in lieu of covering the stained concrete floor with protective sheets of plastic and tape. The painters, sheet rock texture sprayers, plumbers, trim carpenters, and various other contractors could not track in enough mud or make enough mess that could not be removed.

During the life of the project NANO1000 has repelled every glue, paint, chalk mark, pencil mark from altering the stain color and is easily cleaned using a wet mop. Our contractors did still use drop cloths but we witnessed a messy slab that was easily cleaned. We did not even experience the need to use any cleaners, merely water to wipe off paint, thin set, sheet rock mud and pencil marks. The other benefit for this builder, in addition to the time and expense of taping covering over the floor, is that the stained concrete will last a lifetime for the homeowner without stripping and resealing, provided it is maintained properly.
