New Plextone Liquid Chips Floor System, an Alternative To Vinyl Chips

Seagrave Coatings Corporation, a manufacturer of coatings for aerospace, industrial and furniture products, has invented Plextone Liquid Chips, an alternative to traditional vinyl chips. The genesis of the Plextone Liquid Chip occurred when Seagrave Coatings Corporation became aware that the current method of decorating concrete with color chips was inefficient and costly to commercial and public spaces. These methods did not offer the smoothness and appearance that high-tech customers require, according to Seagrave. 

“Due to the nature of multicolor paint, Plextone Liquid Chips provide unmatched color retention and camouflage patches so that the floor blends into itself and appears more uniform without taking away from the natural look of the background color of the concrete,” the company said in a statement. 

Plextone Liquid Chips are designed to be easier to install than vinyl chips. They require no rebroadcasting—reapplying of the product to attain desired effect—or rolling, and can be used within 24 hours because of their ability to dry faster. This not only saves time, but also cuts labor costs associated with installation and allows minimal disruption to the productivity of the space. Plextone’s product has the added advantage of being able to transform floors, walls and counters while offering superior durability and maintenance.

“Our invention is advantageous to the already existing method of decorating concrete in that Plextone Liquid Chips make epoxy or polyaspartic flooring faster to install and more economical,” said H. Peter Tepperman, CEO of Seagrave Coatings Corporation. “In the traditional method when the floors are finished, the concrete is not uniform as a result of patches in the concrete not matching. This look can be aesthetically bothersome, where Plextone Liquid Chips lay flat and do not protrude from the base coating.”
