Stain and Reagent Resistance

We extensively test all our products to determine how our different flooring products will perform in use — and how the flooring will react to staining reagents. Owners and specifiers know the types of substances that may potentially stain surfaces in their building. This chart is designed to provide owners and specifiers with accurate information about a wide variety of cleaners, disinfectants, foods, beverages, oils, organic solvents, and other substances that may be found in buildings and affect the performance of the floor.

Samples were tested as manufactured (no additional surface treatments). All samples were
exposed to reagents for 24 hours (uncovered), then cleaned with a neutral commercial cleaner
and cotton cloth.

A key for interpreting results is found below. It is important to note that in some cases, residual stain, residues, and surface dulling may be further reduced or eliminated with different or more aggressive cleaning procedures and/or cleaning agents other than the common method used for this multi-product comparison.

0 No Stain
1 Slight Change
2 Moderate Change
3 Severe Change
Bl Dulling
D Gloss Up

R Reagent left residue
