Introducing GU Big Stock Diamonds
Like the big animal in the bull pen. This is the most aggressive type of diamond available. Because of having less segments it is more aggressive. GU Big Stock Diamonds are usually used for removal for increased aggregate exposure. However they are also great for surface build up, oil, thin mill coating, or mortar. These Diamonds screw to the head. Excellent for the Profile Diamond in the Hybrid Cut system with Green Cut. |

Press Release - Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser

Green Umbrella™ Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser

Sheridan, Arkansas – Oct. 2010- Green Umbrella™ Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser will out perform caustic chemicals and the natural oils found in other cleansers. Think of it as using a doctor’s scalpel versus a butter knife; Green Umbrella™ Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser is the right tool for the job, being more effective and avoiding the collateral damage created by other cleaning products.
It's because both natural and chemical cleaners work on the same fundamental principles -- acids break down alkalies, and alkalies break down acids. Toxic chemicals work well because they're strong acids and strong alkalies, and natural cleaners are typically less effective because they're weaker acids or alkalies.
Green Umbrella™ Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser is unique - using only Enzymes, purified of all bacteria, just like enzyme cleaners used in the surgical suite to clean surgical instruments.
Green Umbrella™ Green Clean & Enzyme Degreaser is a formula of enzymes blended together for optimum performance on concrete floors and a cleaner that is better at removing grease, hydrocarbons, and removing the stains on your floor. Another advantage is that any remaining enzymes will be re-activated upon contact with water. This characteristic aids in reducing future organic growth while remaining environmentally friendly. |

Green Umbrella™ ColorDeep is compliant with all state VOC standards. Green Umbrella™ ColorDeep is the perfect match for Green Umbrella™ GreenCut and is a part of the Green Umbrella™ Hybrid Green Cut System.
Green Umbrella™ ColorDeep can be used as stand alone color concrete hardener to harden the concrete for a longer shine.

Press Release - Green Grinder
|
|
Sheridan, Arkansas – Dec. 1, 2010 - Green Umbrella is releasing the revolutionary Green Umbrella Green Grinder is an environmentally friendly concrete grinder that efficiently grinds, hones and polishes concrete floors. Weighing in at 1,300 lb., this machine can handle even the biggest and most difficult concrete grinding & polishing jobs. The Green Umbrella Green Grinder is designed specifically for wet grinding and can be fitted with a water tank. How will the Green Grinder improve production in the field? The Green Umbrella Green Grinder features a quick change diamond system that will enable even diamond wear and quick field changes.
Propane fuels the 22 hp Robin engine that is certified to meet EPA and CARB requirements with an ESDS (Emissions Shut Down System) and clean burning catalytic muffler enabling completely cordless operation. Propane tanks drop in for quick and easy changes. What makes the Green Grinder different? A sturdy, mining industry inspired GreenGEARTM gearbox will enable you to have a truly industrial piece of equipment to exceed the run time of any other grinder on the market, by THOUSANDS of hours. Green Umbrella Green Grinder is a responsible alternative for professionals concerned about the environmental impact of the concrete polishing process. Propane is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels, cutting emissions and leaving a smaller carbon footprint than a typical electric model.
Why use the Green Grinder Wet? Taking away the combination of electricity on water the potential hazard of electric shock is eliminated. The wet process uses water to cool the diamond abrasives and eliminate grinding dust. The significant reduction of airborne crystalline silica dust eliminates health hazards, such as silicosis, attributed to the inhalation of these particles. Wet cutting significantly lowers the effect on ambient indoor air quality during construction and after as no dust reaches duct work or other areas of the facility. Because the water reduces friction and acts as a lubricant, it increases the life of the polishing abrasives.
