Seamless Protection

The GlasLok 170 FR system complements any Plexi-Chemie epoxy flooring system and creates a seamless barrier, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and creating a much more sanitary surface. GlasLok 170 FR also provides an abrasion and chemical resistant barrier, preventing cracking and peeling.  The overlapping leaf arrangement of the fiberglass reduces water vapor permeation and permits exposure to chemicals and higher temperatures without increasing the thickness of the coating.  In addition, the GlasLok 170 FR wall system is puncture resistant and can stand up to the abuse that school restroom walls often endure.
