application, we have a brand new slab. We haven't had a bunch of abuse, chemical spills, oil spills. So, Rustoleum has formulated a product with almost a decade of efficacy that is a proven performer in these environments. We've used it from residential to projects uh that just can't have prep equipment, they can't have they can't have noise, they can't um have the extra time it takes. So there is a time and a place for everything. Being founded as a primer company particularly Rustoleum is always innovative and again this particular application close to a decade right now of proven performance. Right. So uh one of the products that I've used in the past epoxy shell 550. So that was a primer you know specifically designed you know for uh like applications like this. And can you talk about just what is epoxy shell 550 if you haven't heard about it? >> Yeah, so the epoxy shell 550 and the EP55 which we're using today are going to be very very similar. They're going to be a water-based technology that is an adhesion promoter. Meaning we can't do anything to alter the properties of that coating simply because it has extra additives for adhesion. like the 550, the EP55 will stick to uh tile, it'll stick to aluminum, it'll stick to burnished concrete. As long as we have clean surfaces, dry surfaces, it's a very uh formidable primer. In addition to it's breathable, >> breathable, so in certain situations um certain coatings uh may need a brea breathable uh system to it and it is breathable as well.
