3M MAKES STRIPPING A THING
OF THE PAST Cleaning and protecting vinyl flooring has just become a lot faster and more affordable with the launch of 3M Scotchgard™ Resilient Floor Protector. Not only is it much quicker to apply than traditional acrylic floor coatings; it doesn’t require stripping, reducing labour costs and improving productivity without compromising standards.
“Maintaining vinyl floors with acrylic protectors is incredibly labour intensive,” explained 3M General Manager, James Gravestock. “It requires four or more coats to achieve the desired protection and needs to be stripped at regular intervals – a messy and time- consuming business.

STANLEY SEES EYE
TO EYE Stanley Security Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with EyeLock to deliver a suite of iris-based biometric technology product solutions to Stanley’s global client base. EyeLock effectively reduces identity-based fraud by securely matching people with the unique biometric markers associated with their irises – second only to an individual’s DNA as a proven biological constant. EyeLock detects key features whilst simultaneously employing a ‘life verifier’ that recognises the absence of a live person and denies access. Its error rate is one in 300 million per eye – impressive figures by any standard.

fewer chemicals. It uses multiple polymer technologies to produce a hard, even surface that is resistant to scratches, stains and scuff marks. Just two coats of the non-yellowing, low-odour formulation produce a clean, glossy surface that’s up to twice as resistant to abrasion as traditional floor finish when tested under laboratory conditions.
Unlike conventional acrylic floor treatments, which expose operators to potentially harmful stripping
EyeLock scans a user’s iris at a distance while the person is in motion at the rate of up to 50 people per minute, for high throughput and ease of use. EyeLock’s biometric access control technology includes proprietary camera, lighting technology, chip-sets, software and physical form factors for capturing iris data. There are a number of products in the range, including the top of the range HBOX multi-modal biometric reader for up to 50 people per minute; the EyeSwipe for up to 30 people per minute; the EyeSwipe Mini, a cost effective replacement for card-based access control systems and the entry level EyeSwipe Nano.
