products and services STONE SEALANT Polished concrete is among the hot trends in flooring because of its durability and adapt-ability to so many differing situations both commercial and residential. Hydro-Force introduces Viper concrete and stone densi-fier, which reacts with lime and calcium to form a harder surface and fill pores. Higher gloss levels, along with improved resistance to stains and spills, even acids, are now possible. Together with their expanded line of concrete products, Hydro-Force has pro-duced the Concrete Cleaning, Degreasing, Brightening, Sealing and Densifying Procedures Guide . DISPENSE-AND-VACUUM Kaivac’s new OmniFlex crossover cleaning system cleans just about any surface anywhere and can grow with add-ons when needed. The OmniFlex starts with the industry’s most versatile trolley-bucket system that dispenses solution directly to the floor or through an optional hose accessory. Multiple tool rack options are available and can be attached to the trolley-bucket. From here, users can power up by creating a complete dispense-and-vacuum or spray-and-squeegee system for clean-ing floors or a complete — and powerful — spray-and-vacuum system for cleaning restrooms top to bottom.

These newly embossed towels demonstrate Kruger Products’ continued commitment to deliver the best performing, quality products.

Product Information no. 119 Merfin Systems Inc Product Information no. 120 DEODORIZERS National Chemical Laboratories is pleased to introduce two new series of products: Incrediloso multi-purpose cleaner/deodorizer and Magic Breeze spray air fresh-ener. These new products will be offered in two outstanding fra-grances: Lavender and “Fresh N’ Clean.” Biodegradable Incrediloso offers pH-neutral cleaning that is ideal for all hard surfaces while leaving behind a long-lasting fra-grance. Magic Breeze uses advanced MCA-II malodor inhibitor technology and nature-inspired fragrances to chemically react with and destroy foul odors caused by smoke, pet waste, garbage or other sources. STAIN REMOVER Addressing the need to keep both indoor and outdoor surfaces free from mold and mildew, Permatex introduces Spray Nine Mold & Mildew Stain Remover. The formula is aqueous-based and contains no bleach, differentiating it from other mold and mildew products. However, its principal advantage is its three-minute surface contact time versus the five to 10 minutes typical of competing offerings. With regular use, it con-trols the recurrence of mold and mildew growth. Permatex Product Information no. 122 National Chemical Laboratories Inc.
