VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are chemicals that can easily become vapors or gases. Among other things, they are often found in common industrial flooring installations. This poses risks for you as the installer, but also the client if they are exposed at any time during the process.
Short-term exposure to VOCs can cause eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, and more, while long-term exposure can lead to even more permanent problems.
You don’t ever want to experience these symptoms, but especially not when trying to install resinous flooring, as they can be distracting and cause you to install the floor improperly.
Thankfully, all V-8 Floor Coatings are VOC free.
This means you can safely work without having to worry about inhaling toxic gases. It also means you’ll be able to do your job quicker and your client won’t have to evacuate the premises.
If a floor is installed and does contain VOCs, the building has to be completely empty of people, while you and your team have to wear full protective masking to tackle the job. Even upon completion, these chemicals can linger in the building.
But with V-8 Floor Coatings, you install the flooring with no need for people to leave, which means less inconvenience for your client and a safer work environment after you complete the installation.
The best defense against VOC exposure is to avoid it if at all possible. Unlike some other floor coating options, you don’t have to worry about breathing in harsh smelling chemicals with our products.
For your next floor coating project, choosing V-8 High Performance Floors is a no-brainer. We eliminate the VOCs so you can focus strictly on installing flooring rather than worrying about taking additional safety measures.
