VOC'S AND WINE DON'T MIX.

Napa Valley’s famous wines are aged in huge, wooden casks in climate-controlled cellars. High humidity is required to keep the casks from drying and cracking—and to prevent the wines from evaporating and prematurely aging. Unfortunately, several wineries’ forklift trucks kept slipping and sliding on the wet floors while transporting the casks. So they called us for an extremely tough, anti-slip coating that would hold up to heavy forklift traffic, yet give off no fumes. Since the casks breathe, any odors from the room would adversely affect wine flavor. Fortunately, AST’s Anti-Slip Coatings can withstand the harshest treatment—even in a zero-VOC formulation. Now Napa Valley only has to worry about moisture in the vineyards, not the cellars.
