JohnsonDiversey’s ProSpeed floor-finishing system has been recognized with an award

by Rebecca Walker — The Environmental Business Journal has chosen ProSpeed to receive a technical merit award for its reduced water use and floor finish savings as well as its reduced emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Since its introduction in June 2008, ProSpeed has been revolutionizing the floor-finishing process for building service contractors and other cleaning professionals in retail, health care and education facilities, Alexander said.

During its first 10 weeks of deployment, ProSpeed saved customers an estimated 71,400 gallons of water and 8,200 gallons of floor finish. ProSpeed delivers significant water savings because there is no need to clean mop heads, buckets, backpacks or feed lines. The system has a closed bag-in-a-box (BIB) chemical management system that avoids unnecessary clean-up and reduces use of petroleum-based packaging.

JohnsonDiversey is one of four separate companies controlled by the Johnson Family of Racine, Wisconsin, USA. To learn more, see the Web site.
