Collins & Aikman introduces SYON-5, the ultimate, environmentally friendly solution that eliminates urine odor and other odors caused by moisture, spills and accidents. Made from natural tea tree oil, SYON-5 has been tested and proven highly effective in Australia for many years. SYON-5 the revolutionary cleaning and deodorizing system, is designed and guaranteed effective with Powerbond[R] soft-surface flooring. Powerbond, the cushioned, vinyl-back, soft-surface floor covering, with its impervious moisture barrier, aids in the effectiveness of SYON-5 by keeping spills on the surface where they can be easily treated. Powerbond is unlike conventional carpet and VCT flooring, which allow urine and other spills to penetrate through the surface and seams, seeping into the subfloor and carrying bacteria and odors that cannot be removed. The combination of Powerbond and SYON-5 is not only the total solution, it is a cost-effective solution for your facility. Ecolab, Inc., Professional Products Div.
