PERMACOLOR
The Mineral: Pure silica sand is the basic mineral in Perma Color Surface Aggregates. Silica is an extremely hard abrasion-resistent, chemically inert mineral. Flooring surfaces produced using pure, high-density silica consistently show greater resistance to wear than surfaces filled with minerals of lesser integrity.

Colors, Sizes and Blends: Fifteen colors are available in three different textures. In addition to these standard colors, Estes' offers custom colors and blends, computer matched to customer specifications. Estes' also has two additional sizes in Perma Color Surface Aggregates called Super Trowel Rite and Ultra Trowel Rite.

Application: Perma Color Surface Aggregates are ideally suited to any established method of application; troweling, broadcast or pourable self-leveling formulations. Traditionally rounded grain sands were thought to be best suited for broadcast application, experienced applicators find no difficulty troweling this type of aggregate. Similarly, Trowel Rite is not limited to only the trowel method of application.

Density and Coverage: The density of Perma Color Surface Aggregates averages about 90 lbs. per cubic foot. Of course, coverage varies depending upon the thickness of the anticipated surface.

DEK ROK
Dek Rok Surface Aggregates opens new horizons to architects and interior designers. Experienced artisan-installers around the country can easily translate your designs into reality, incorporating logos, bold graphics, intricate borders and delicate color gradations.

Dek Rok consists of tough quartz stones married to high-performance resins to yield a seamless, slip-resistant surface of unmatched durability, which is impervious to gas, oil and solvents. Although it is real stone, you will be surprised at the soft walk and enhanced sound-absorbing properties of a Dek Rok floor.

Dek Rok will wear like the stone it is made from. No grout to maintain, nothing to fray, warp, chip or split. Applied to any stable subfloor, Dek Rok should retain an attractive appearance for decades to come. Dek Rok is available in 15 standard colors and can be blended on site.

Colorquartz™ Aggregate from 3M is comprimised of colored, inorganic quartz granules. Applied to flooring areas with epoxy, urethane or other resins, the Colorquartz Aggregate combines economical and practical performance advantages with the benefits of seamless floor construction. For light industrial, commercial, insitutional, recreational and residential floors, Colorquartz provides the answer to your flooring needs.

Seamless floors containing Colorquartz Aggregate provide durability and longevity, plus warmth and beauty. Coatings combined with Colorquartz Aggregate can be applied over wood or concrete, and once installed, the floor will resist many chemical spills, chipping or denting. The result is economical maintenance for the long life of the floor. In accordance with United States Department of Agricultural regulations, Colorquartz granules are chemically acceptable as ingredients in coatings used on floors in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Seamless floors constructed with Colorquartz Aggregate from 3M retains its color and beauty year after year. Each translucent granule is colored with permanent pigments which are ceramically bonded to the surface. The translcence of the quartz alows its fade-resistant color to be reflected through the granule. Even if the top surface color of the granaule is worn off mechanically by traffic, the color from the underside shows through the abraded granules. This color permanence has been proven in both long-term field performance and accelerated wear tests.

LOW MAINTENANCE AND ANTI-SKID PROPERTIES
Seamless flooring requires a minimum amount of maintenance because there are no seams or cracks where dirt can collect and no grouting to mildew or discolor. Seamless floors formed with Colorquartz Aggregate have excellent resistance to acidic materials as well as alkalies, including trisodium phosphate, sodium carbonate, ammonium hydroxide or other industrial detergents. Anti-skid properties can be incorporated into the surface of the completed floor by the applicator to fit most safety requirements. Seamless floors with Colorquartz Aggregate are installed by flooring professionals knowledgeable in the selection and application of Colorquartz granules and apporpriate resin-coating systems.

BENEFITS
• Tested color performance
• Ability to match colors
• No bleeding, tested color stability
• Easy mixing, consistent grade

American Specialty Glass (ASG) products are made from recycled bottles, plate glass, and stained glass. This is done with custom made equipment that they have spent the past several years developing. ASG glass recycling process produces cleaned and dried glass chips that are mostly rounded or cubic in shape. Chips are sorted into the five standard terrazzo sizes, plus fines for background color and texture. ASG also offers a fine white sand, made from plate glass, that is excellent as a substitute for silica sand.

NOTES:
Stained glass chips are made from glass that is 1/8" thick, therefore sizes larger than #1 tend to be somewhat flat.

Plate glass is somewhat flat in sizes larger than #1. Thick plate glass is more expensive, but is generally rounded in sizes up to #3 or #4.

Most colors are in stock and available for immediate shipping. Some non-stock colors may require a large minimum order and up to 30 days lead-time.

Expect a very small amount of color contamination in stained glass. In plate glass expect some color contamination from tinted plate glass, usually gray. In pre-consumer bottle glass their is almost no contamination, because the bottles are new bottles with no labels or caps. Post consumer bottles have considerable color and label contamination.
