ENHANCER AND ACID PROOFING TREATMENT FROM KINLOCH USA
Protects and Enhances Porous Stone, Tile and Concrete

Austin, TX – Kinloch USA announces the development of EAP, a formula that enhances substrate colors of porous materials and protects them from acid etching. EAP is environmentally safe, VOC compliant and carries a 10 year warranty when applied with Kinloch USA Consolidator. EAP is film forming and deeply penetrating to protect substrates from acid etching and virtually all types of stains, even graffiti, on porous materials.

EAP uses tiny molecules (nanotechnology) to permeate into the pores of stone and concrete materials and forms an extremely hard surface and a barrier against liquids. Some of the unique features of EAP:
• It is the best performing permanent system for graffiti removal that works, even on stucco.
• It stabilizes softer stone surfaces such as limestone, making them tougher and more resilient.
• Three versions of EAP are available, glossy finish, non-gloss, and slip-resistant.
• It can be dusted with atomized metals such as copper, bronze or brass to create a unique metal look that could be used for architectural accents, flooring, countertops wall panels or even roof tiling and gutters.
• It has the ability to seal in concrete color pigments to create etch proof and stain proof concrete surfaces.
• EAP has unlimited potential, and even works as a clear coat on boat hulls and propellers to shed zebra mussels and normal barnacle adhesion.

EAP is applied by an experienced installer to stone, tiles on counters, tabletops or flooring. Following application by HVLP sprayer, EAP requires a 24 hour dry time but is dry to the touch in 4 hours. On highly polished stones like granite or marble, it then requires a fine buffing to remove any dust or airborne particles.

Kinloch USA is passionate about designing nanotechnology treatments that are environmentally safe and perform at global leading standards. The company plans to continuously develop formulations that will keep natural and manufactured surfaces protected and looking like new.
