Preserve Linoleum’s Natural Beauty
• Commercial wear and tear can mar the beauty of natural linoleum. Now, you can protect your linoleum investment with NATURCote, our exclusive coating based on the same technology that protects the surface of our other high performance resilient floors.
NATURCote
One New Coating Makes A Big Difference
• Resists dirt build up.• Improves scuff resistance.• Reduces damage from scratching.• Protects against damage from
high pH cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
• Eliminates the need for initial polish if floors are undamaged during installation.
NATURCote
The Clear Advantage
• NATURCote protects the floor’s surface for long-term beauty and better performance.
NATURCote
Resists Dirt Build Up
Linoleum with NATURCote creates a floor with a:• Tight and smooth surface.• Fewer microscopic places for dust and dirt to hide.

Resists Dirt Build Up
• Linoleum with NATURCote maintains color better than uncoated linoleum and better than competitive linoleum that has a topcoat.

NATURCote
Resists Damage from Scuffs and Scratches
• A visible difference—less hazing and dulling.• A tactile difference—feels smoother to the touch.• Floors look and feel better initially, and for a longer period of time.
Scratch count proves floors protected with NATURCote damage less.
NATURCote
Protects Like a Coat of Armor
• Fights the effects of commercial wear and tear better than unprotected linoleum, and competitive linoleum with a topcoat.
NATURCote
Increases Resistance to Chemicals
• Protects against damage from chemicals that can stain, bleach, dull or even soften linoleum.
• Resists damage caused by solvents, acids, bases and salts.
For complete test results and more specific information, see F-4249 “2007Armstrong Commercial Floor Specifiers Reference,” or visit armstrong.com/flooring.
NATURCote
Resists Discoloration From High pH Cleaners
• Protects against accidental exposure to high pH cleaners and stripping solutions.
• Resists “yellowing” from maintenance accidents better than competitive linoleum with a topcoat.
• Creates an additional layer of protection, even if floor is unpolished or if polish wears off.
NATURCote resists “yellowing” from maintenance accidents better than competitive linoleum protected with a topcoat.

Initial Polish Not Always Necessary
Depending upon installation site conditions and end userexpectations* you may be able to:• Eliminate time-consuming initial polish preparation.• Increase the speed of building occupancy.• Save costs associated with initial maintenance.• Install and walk on immediately.
*See F-7796 “Maintenance Recommendations for Linoleum with NATURCote” for more details.
NATURCote
Reduces Time, Chemicals and Labor Needed for Routine Maintenance
Low-maintenance NATURCote:• May reduce maintenance staff. • Reduces the need for FTEs.• Results in cumulative and
perpetual cost savings, compared to unprotected linoleum.

Less Environmental Impact Created by Maintenance
• Less water and less energy are needed to keep floors clean.• Contributes to better indoor air quality.• Reduces waste treatment needs.

The “Green” Floor Covering That Can Save You Some Green
Exclusive S-761 Seam Adhesive Seaming System Saves Installation Time and Costs• Creates sealed seams that are
simpler, easier and faster to finish than traditional heat-welded seams.
• Improves building occupancy time, adding value to the facility owner.
• Reduces seaming time from hours to minutes for the set-in-wet method.
• Eliminates need for highly trained technicians using expensive heat-weld equipment and weld rods.
S-761 Seam Adhesive saves time and money over traditional heat-welding.

Tested to Withstand “Real” Heavy Traffic
• Armstrong tests new products, coatings and installation techniques in “real life” spaces to evaluate commercial performance.
• An indoor/outdoor market with an average of 12,000 visitors per day was used as a test site for comparing Armstrong linoleum with NATURCote™ to unprotected and competitive linoleum.
• “Real life” tests prove that NATURCote maintains its great appearance and provides durable performance, even under the most demanding traffic conditions.
