GuardRight™ EC System Additions
Choose from the following GuardRight™ EC system additions to improve your floor’s performance:
Anti-Microbial
Floors that defend against bacteria and microbial contamination are essential in food, pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities. Concare’s anti-microbial formulas resist germs, pathogens and other microorganisms, keeping your facility and your product safe. Concare’s anti-microbial properties are integral to the material, so as the floor wears the biostat remains active. Both chemical and inert silver ion versions are available.
Chemical Resistance/Secondary Containment
When hazardous materials are a threat, effective chemical resistance is critical for safety compliance. Concare provides concrete’s best protection against caustic and dangerous substances with strong chemical barriers. Consult MSDS to identify your facility’s most aggressive substances, and determine the longest time they might sit on the surface. That way, Concare can best assist you in choosing the right chemical-resistant formula for the job.
ColorFlake (CF)
ColorFlake adds “chips” of evenly-scattered color to a floor’s surface for a decorative finish. Get a custom blend to suit your style by adding glitter, mixing small and large flakes, or varying the concentration. You’re only limited by your imagination!

ColorQuartz (CQ)
ColorQuartz (CQ) is multi-colored aggregate that provides additional strength and traction, and is available in a variety of tweed color choices to suit your design style. Since it is “seeded” into wet resin, ColorQuartz provides a textured, enhanced traction finish while adding a decorative look to the finished floor. You can even mix and match colors to define different spaces or uses. Download the GuardRight™ EC with ColorQuartz Color Chart here.
Cove Base
Installing a cove base prevents liquids and harmful chemicals from leaking under walls. With a cove, floor-to-wall right angles are eliminated, improving and simplifying cleaning in critical areas. Adding cove base also produces a more attractive look and can even be done in a contrasting color.
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Resistance
If your facility produces or uses sensitive electronic equipment, you know the dangers static electricity or sparks can pose. An ESD, spark-proof or conductive-floor system preserves your product’s integrity, prevents electrical damage, guards against fires, and most importantly, gives you peace of mind.
Enhanced Traction
Prevent slip-and-fall accidents in wet areas and save time and money by adding the right texture to your flooring system. Choose from polypropylene, quartz, aluminum oxide or even granite to customize the texture of your choice. Textures range from light to very aggressive.
Floor Markings
Whether you require striping for safety, product locators for inventory, location marks for your 5S program or even a company logo, Concare can provide it with a variety of specialty floor markings.
Sloping
Do you need to drain liquids from your floor? Concare’s team can easily change your floor’s profile, using compatible materials to achieve the desired pitch for drainage and safety.
Steel Chips
If your floors suffer intense daily abuse, Steel Chips could be key in guarding against premature wear and tear. Small steel bits are blended with the aggregate, providing maximum abrasion resistance. Steel Chips are ideal for heavy manufacturing and high abuse areas and has the added benefit of minimizing the buildup of static electricity.
Waterproofing
Protect people, processes and equipment with a Waterproofing Membrane. A long-lasting Waterproofing Membrane is ideal for wet areas where seepage is an issue. Concare’s Waterproofing Membranes also prevent leaks from pump rooms, washrooms, kitchens and parking garages.
