Ceramic Fortified Nanotechnology Arboritec lacquers are built on a foundation of Nanotechnology and Ceramic Silica. Our finishes are the result of years of advanced material science development which makes us the market leader in these technologies. We work closely with research labs and universities to continuously improve the performance of our coatings. At an atomic level, lacquers have tiny Arboritec lacquers set the standard for:

Meet UVElite™ A Stronger, More Durable Finish Cured at Light Speed 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 is a tried and trusted Arboritec lacquer with the addition of photoinitiators. This cutting-edge technology allows UVElite to cure instantly. By coupling instant cure with ceramic fortified durability, UVElite is quickly becoming the premier 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!

Cleaning & Maintenance Cleaner Using the right cleaner extends the life of your floor and helps maintain its original look and luster. Arboritec Floor Cleaner has been formulated to provide the most effective results without leaving residue. Our cleaner can be used on wood, laminate, PVC, vinyl, linoleum and other washable surfaces like tile, stone and porcelain.
Refresher Take a modern approach to periodically remove the visual signs of wear from lacquered floors. This unique product heals light scratches and scuffs. Turn back time with an occasional light layer of self-dissolving lacquer particles.
Satin Oil This maintenance oil is the perfect choice to occasionally deep clean or touch up oil treated wood floors. It is fast drying, provides excellent coverage and has a pleasing fragrance. With its oxidative hardening properties, it delivers additional periodic protection.
Clean‘nCoat Depending on the level of damage to existing finish, sanding isn’t always required to bring a floor back to life. Formulated for use with buffers and auto-scrubbers, our commercial range includes recoating products that can quickly and easily restore floors without sanding and get you back in business.
Case Study
St. Catherine’s School, Uppsala, Sweden
Challenge: Return St. Catherine’s existing high traffic PVC floor to mint condition and extend the life of the floor while reducing cleaning & maintenance life cycle costs.
Solution:
Before UVElite
Remove existing dirt, wax, residue and polish. Then, coat and instantly cure floor with UVElite to create a protective shield that repels contaminants.
Result:
UVElite coated PVC floors absorb 50% less dirt and are 80% easier to clean than conventional solutions like polish and wax.
