Meet UVElite™ A Stronger, More Durable Finish, Cured at the Speed of Light Instantly cured floors are the future of the flooring industry. Based on years of intense development and testing, UVElite is Arboritec’s instant cure solution.
UVElite takes waterborne finishes to the next level. It’s the Arboritec finish trusted by contractors everywhere with the addition of photoinitiators. This cutting-edge technology allows UVElite to cure instantly. By coupling instant cure with nanoceramic durability, UVElite is quickly becoming the premiere waterborne finish on the market.
UVElite
(Instant Cure) UVElite is extremely easy for flooring professionals to work with and apply. Once applied and dried, the finish is instantly cured with ultraviolet light from a portable UV machine. The ultraviolet light reacts with the photoinitiators causing them to instantly bond and complete the curing process. It doesn’t get any faster than that!
