Enhances Performance

NATURCote

Preserve Linoleum’s Natural Beauty

• Commercial wear and tear can mar the beauty of natural linoleum. Now, you can protect your linoleum investment with NATURCote, our exclusive coating based on the same technology that protects the surface of our other high performance resilient floors.

NATURCote

One New Coating Makes A Big Difference

• Resists dirt build up.• Improves scuff resistance.• Reduces damage from scratching.• Protects against damage from

high pH cleaners and other harsh chemicals.

• Eliminates the need for initial polish if floors are undamaged during installation.

NATURCote

The Clear Advantage

• NATURCote protects the floor’s surface for long-term beauty and better performance.

NATURCote

Resists Dirt Build Up

Linoleum with NATURCote creates a floor with a:• Tight and smooth surface.• Fewer microscopic places for dust and dirt to hide.

NATURCote

Resists Damage from Scuffs and Scratches

• A visible difference—less hazing and dulling.• A tactile difference—feels smoother to the touch.• Floors look and feel better initially, and for a longer period of time.

Scratch count proves floors protected with NATURCote damage less.

NATURCote

Protects Like a Coat of Armor

• Fights the effects of commercial wear and tear better than unprotected linoleum, and competitive linoleum with a topcoat.

NATURCote

Increases Resistance to Chemicals

• Protects against damage from chemicals that can stain, bleach, dull or even soften linoleum.

• Resists damage caused by solvents, acids, bases and salts.

For complete test results and more specific information, see F-4249 “2007Armstrong Commercial Floor Specifiers Reference,” or visit armstrong.com/flooring.

NATURCote

Resists Discoloration From High pH Cleaners

• Protects against accidental exposure to high pH cleaners and stripping solutions.

• Resists “yellowing” from maintenance accidents better than competitive linoleum with a topcoat.

• Creates an additional layer of protection, even if floor is unpolished or if polish wears off.

NATURCote resists “yellowing” from maintenance accidents better than competitive linoleum protected with a topcoat.
