Betco Rescue TruMatte Floor Finish — Matte Protective Coat for Rubber, LVT & Vinyl (1 Gallon)
A floor finish specifically formulated for low- and no-maintenance floors. Betco Rescue TruMatte applies a durable protective layer over rubber flooring, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), sheet vinyl, linoleum, and most other hard surface flooring types — with a natural matte appearance that enhances the floor without looking plastic or artificially shiny. Rescue is engineered for maximum adhesion, which means it stays bonded through foot traffic, scrubbing, and daily use without peeling or yellowing.
Features
- TruMatte technology — delivers a natural, low-sheen matte finish that makes rubber and vinyl floors look clean and professional without the high-gloss look that shows every scuff and footprint
- Best-in-class adhesion — formulated for maximum bond to difficult low-maintenance flooring surfaces, including rubber, where adhesion is typically harder to achieve
- Protects the wear layer — extends the life of the floor’s wear layer by providing a sacrificial protective coat that takes the damage before the floor does
- Low maintenance after application — once applied, the finish is maintained with routine sweeping, damp mopping, and periodic top scrubbing; full strip-and-recoat cycles are less frequent
- Slip resistant — meets or exceeds ASTM D 2047-11 (James Machine 0.5 minimum) for slip resistance
- Works on multiple floor types — rubber, LVT, sheet vinyl, linoleum, and most other hard surface types
Application Instructions
Restorative (first application or after full strip):
- Remove all old finish, wax, and soil; floor must be clean, dry, and residue-free
- Rinse with clean water if necessary; allow to fully dry
- Apply finish in thin to medium coats using a clean synthetic mop, microfiber mop, or applicator
- Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next (approximately 20–30 minutes; more time needed in high humidity or with heavy coats)
- Apply a minimum of 2 coats; 3–4 coats recommended for rubber flooring in high-traffic areas
Note: Some alternate flooring types have a factory finish that can affect coating adhesion. Perform a top scrub with Best Scrub before coating for best results.
Interim maintenance (recoat without full strip):
- Sweep and dust mop to remove debris
- Top scrub using Betco Best Scrub with a maroon pad to remove soiled finish layers
- Allow floor to dry and confirm clean, residue-free surface
- Apply 1–2 coats of Rescue TruMatte as directed above
