DURAPLUS™ 3

What is DURAPLUS™ 3?

A modified acrylic polymer that offers high gloss and exceptional durability, and is specially modified to have excellent resistance to harsh detergent solutions. It offers a level of unsurpassed durability, while also offering very good response to high speed burnishing operations. Dow offers polishes with a distinct combination of polish hardness, resilience, and an undetectable level of ammonia odor. This helps polishes to dissipate the energy of foot traffic, impacts and abrasion, offering excellent resistance to black marks and scuffing, as well as gloss retention. All of these benefits assure notable labor savings.
