Light Fastness of Ink and Coating – PrimaTile’s™ surface is widely recognized as the whitest available and incorporates UV light inhibitors in the coating process to minimize fading from harsh light and the sun. Our PrimaTile ™ passed over 200 hours of Xenon Arc Lamp exposure with no fade, no ink color change, and no yellowing.

Concentrated Chlorine Exposure - Our PrimaTile ™ exhibited no change after 800 hours of exposure in a concentrated test. The concentration of Chlorine was 1000 times what you would normally find in the common swimming pool.

Pencil Hardness – Our PrimaTile ™ coating attained a pencil hardness of 8H for the Matte finish, 7H for the Satin, and 3H for the Gloss finish.

Extra Protection – We have found excellent results by simply applying Min-Wax Urethane Floor Coating (found in any home improvement store) over our coated tile. You should find excellent inter-coat adhesion with PrimaTile ™. Some people have even used them on floors! While we do not think it is necessary, you may use a spray on coating such as “Superfrog – Frog Juice” for extra UV protection when doing tiles or murals for outdoors use.
