AlumX Additive
A proprietary mineral blend added to the resin to help make your floor more resistant to scratching and everyday wear.
Your floor takes the daily abuse first at the surface. That’s why Tru-Grit developed Alum-X—a proprietary blend of silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, two of the hardest minerals used for surface reinforcement.
Instead of simply adding another layer of coating, Alum-X works within the resin and sits just below the cured surface. Think of it as reinforcement built into the floor itself, creating a harder, more dependable topcoat where scratching and everyday wear actually happen.
The result is a flooring system designed to give you more from your investment: greater surface durability, improved traction, less maintenance, and fewer long-term headaches.
What Makes Alum-X Different?
Most flooring systems rely on the coating resin alone to handle everyday wear. Alum-X takes a different approach by modifying the resin itself. In fact, an estimated 99% of flooring companies do not use a resin modifier like Alum-X to improve surface durability. Tru-Grit uses this proprietary blend to reinforce the finished topcoat and give the floor another layer of protection where it matters most.
50X Harder To Scratch
Alum-X creates a reinforced surface that is 50 times harder to scratch compared to flooring from companies that do not use this type of resin modifier. That matters in real life. Less surface scratching can mean less visible wear, fewer maintenance concerns, and a floor that continues to look better through everyday use.
Naturally More Slip Resistant
Alum-X does more than reinforce the surface. The mineral blend also gives the floor natural texture that can improve traction. For areas where moisture or foot traffic is a concern, that added traction can provide another level of confidence without relying entirely on separate anti-slip additives.
Works With Additional Anti-Slip Additives
Need even more traction? Alum-X works alongside our polycarbonate and polypropylene anti-slip additives. That gives us more flexibility to adjust the surface based on how your space is used, helping create the right balance of traction, performance, and everyday comfort.
More Performance Where It Counts
The value of Alum-X is simple: the reinforcement is built into the surface instead of added as an afterthought. By combining a proprietary resin modifier with our flooring system, you get a surface designed to better resist scratching, provide additional traction, and handle everyday wear. That means more quality and dependability from your flooring investment—and potentially less maintenance and fewer headaches over the long term.
Reinforced From The Inside Out
Alum-X is not just another coating feature. It is a proprietary resin modifier designed to strengthen the part of the flooring system that takes the most abuse. Talk with Tru-Grit about adding Alum-X to your flooring system and creating a customized surface based on how you use your space.
