Laticrete Offers New Complete Grow Room Coating System
June 10, 2021 Laticrete, a manufacturer of construction solutions for the building industry, has launched the Spartacote High-Yield System with the new Lux Additive, an industry-first resinous coating system developed specifically to increase photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) reflectance of greenhouse floors and walls by up to 56%.
The Spartacote High-Yield System is designed as a complete grow room and greenhouse-specific high-performance coating system. It is the company’s first product targeting the rapidly developing market for the cannabis cultivation, indoor farming, and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industries.
“Grow rooms and cannabis extraction facilities present unique challenges due to demanding regulations and require a hygienic environment that promotes healthy plant growth,” says Ben Lampi, Product Manager at LATICRETE. “The SPARTACOTE High-Yield System provides an innovative solution to this challenge in its ability to offer a rapid cure time, be easily cleaned, and maintained due to its seamless application, a longer floor life, and chemical resistance to washdowns and fertilizers.”
The Spartacote High-Yield System with Lux Additive is FDA and USDA-compliant and comes with an optional non-slip traction additive. The system offers a rapid return to service to minimize downtime and interruption and allows a quicker start to growing crops. Suitable substrates include concrete flooring, exterior rated plywood for flooring and walls, concrete masonry unit walls, and drywall.
Spartacote Flex Pure Clinical Plus is an optional antimicrobial topcoat available with the system that offers silver ion technology to further reduce risk to plants from bacteria and mold and protects the surface from degradation, discoloration, and odors.
