RUMOR
MILL
The Certified Renovator
has to be there the duration of the
project.
Response:
For the state of Ohio, the ODH claims this to be
technically true. The EPA regulations state that
the Certified Renovator must be present at all
Lead Safe Renovation Projects. The Ohio EPA
standards of regulations state that the Certified
Renovator must be present at the posting of the
signs of the project and during the containment,
cleaning and verification of the project's
conclusion.
HUD
projects require that everyone on the jobsite must
be a Certified Renovator.
Response:
This is true. Any project that will receive HUD
funds must have each individual on the project as
a Certified Renovator

Flooring
Concrete Allows More Work Time
Sherwin-Williams
has introduced FasTop 12S, a three-component
water-based urethane concrete designed to provide
flooring contractors with more working time. The
product offers easy handling and more time to coat
concrete, wood and steel floors in food processing
facilities, restaurants and commercial kitchens,
and other constantly wet areas, the company says.
"FasTop 12S is truly the next generation of
urethane concrete," said Brad Rossetto, Vice
President Marketing, Sherwin-Williams Protective
& Marine Coatings.
"Our
product developers outdid themselves in delivering
a product that affords applicators the ease of
more working time without compromising the FasTop
line's signature attribute of quick return to
service." Self-leveling and 100% solids,
FasTop 12S "offers USDA-inspected facilities the
same attributes as other products in the FasTop
line, including resistance to impact, thermal
shock, chemicals, hot oils and steam cleaning,"
Sherwin-Williams says. Sherwin-Williams pioneered
urethane concrete technology to protect the unique
assets of the food and beverage market. Some
resinous flooring can expand at 10 times the rate
of concrete; if the system fails, it will result
in blistering and disbondment. To minimize the
detrimental effects of this, flooring systems
should be at least ΒΌ inch thick. A urethane
concrete flooring system with a coefficient of
linear thermal expansion closer to that of the
concrete will provide a life expectancy that far
exceeds traditional epoxies in similar
environments, Rossetto
said.
Sherwin-Williams'
FasTop Flooring Systems offer "seamless, low-odor
and easy-to-clean coverage that is resistant to
thermal shock, moisture and impact," the company
says. FasTop is engineered for installation within
a matter of hours, quick return to service and
long-term performance. FasTop 12S joins a product
line that is available via the coatings industry's
broadest distribution system and consists of
FasTop S, FasTop M, FasTop S-U1, FasTop Cove Base,
FasTop Plus, with AgION antimicrobial
technology. |
