It can be used as a first coat to enhance the grain and top coated with other E.S.C. products. Although designed for the flooring industry its versatility lends itself to other interior applications where extra durability and abrasion resistance are desired. May be used with a cross linker for added chemical resistance.
COLOR-MASTER is a premium, self-sealing waterborne pre-catalyzed wood coating designed for the toughest of situations. COLOR-MASTER dries to a film that is hard enough to be buffed to a mirror finish yet maintains its flexibility. Its unique formulation gives this product a smooth “waxed” feel that is different from most waterbornes.

PRIME-MASTER is an extremely hi-solids white primer designed for use on most woods, plastics, fiberglass and other substrates. It dries quickly and sands easily to a powder without clogging the sandpaper. A full fill is usually achieved in one application.
FLOOR-MASTER is a self-sealing waterborne wood coating designed for the toughest of situations. Ease of application, hi-build, and a more forgiving dry-time are properties built into this unique finish. Although designed for the flooring industry its versatility lends itself to other interior applications where extra durability and abrasion resistance are desired. May be used with an extra cross linker for added chemical resistance.
UV-EXTREME is the ultimate in exterior UV protection. Its unique polycarbonate blended urethane system offers excellent stability in exposed environments. A very flexible yet hard film stands up to the weather fluctuations without becoming brittle. Can be used over many different substrates and is available in three sheens.

UV-MASTER has unique UV absorbers and blockers to permit its use in exterior applications. It dries hard yet not brittle and maintains its flexibility. Ease of application, hi-build, and quick dry-time are properties built into this coating.
METAL-MASTER is a clear, waterborne product designed for use on various metal substrates. Its ultra-clear formulation is ideal for brushed metal or other architectural work. The unique properties of this product also enable it to be used on many plastic surfaces. UV stable it is great for medium exterior exposure.
ECO-STAIN is the workhorse stain line. It can be used as spray-no-wipe or a regular wiping stain. Utilizing micro dispersed trans-oxide colorants gives quick, clean, deep-penetrating, rich colors. Staying within the system you can begin clear-coating in as little as 10 minutes, based on application method.
TONE-MASTER These toners are designed to equalize variations in wood. They can also be used to give strong undertones to the finish and color of the wood. This is a very quick drying product and designed to be sprayed on, although brush application of small areas is common. They can be intermixed with other toners to achieve various colors. To lighten the color intensity use #200 dilutent. These toners are designed to work with the ESC line of products. Allow product to dry before top-coating. Always do a test area to ensure product will give you the desired results.
All Eco-Steps Coatings finishes qualify for LEED credits towards a building certification. There are many manufacturers who claim to have products LEED certified and that is misleading. The USGBC is the governing body behind LEED. To maintain cerdibility LEED does not “endorse” or “certify” any particular products, but rather the building itself. The following is an excerpt directly from the USGBC website:
“USGBC does not certify, endorse or promote products or companies, nor do we track, list or report data related to products and their environmental qualities.
LEED is a certification that deals with the environmental performance of builders based on overall characteristics of the project. We do not award credits based on the use of particular products but rather upon meeting the performance standards set forth in our rating system. It is up to project teams to determine which products are most appropriate for credit achievement and program requirements.”
