Stop stripping.
Start protecting.
Micron bonds to your floor at the molecular level. No buildup. No yellowing. No annual strip-and-wax cycle. One application that outperforms ten years of traditional wax programs at a fraction of the cost.
It bonds to the floor.
Not on top of it.
Traditional floor wax sits on the surface. It builds up, yellows, scuffs, and requires annual stripping with harsh chemicals. Micron penetrates into the surface at the molecular level, creating a bond that is part of the floor itself.
The result is a surface that maintains its appearance with routine mopping alone. No buffing. No re-coating. No stripping. The floor you protect today will look the same in ten years.
Traditional wax vs. Micron.

Georgia Aquarium.
27,000 square feet.
Georgia Aquarium has among the most demanding floor maintenance requirements in the Southeast. Millions of visitors. High humidity. Marine-environment proximity. Constant foot traffic across premium terrazzo surfaces.
We applied Micron to 27,000 square feet of their terrazzo. The floors have maintained their appearance with routine mopping alone. No strip-and-wax cycles. No annual shutdowns. No stripping chemicals near sensitive marine ecosystems.
Georgia Aquarium has been extremely pleased with the janitorial services provided by Millennium Facility Services. Their responsiveness to special requests and flexibility around our operational schedule has been essential to maintaining our high standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
A single Micron application protects your floor for 10 or more years with proper routine maintenance. In high-traffic areas, a light touch-up application is recommended around year 7 to 8, but this is a fraction of the cost and disruption of traditional annual strip-and-wax cycles. Georgia Aquarium's 27,000 sq ft of terrazzo has maintained its appearance since application with routine mopping alone and zero strip cycles.
Micron is compatible with VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile), terrazzo, sealed concrete, ceramic tile, natural stone, and most composite flooring materials. It is not compatible with unsealed wood floors or rubber flooring. MFS technicians assess your specific surface before application to confirm compatibility and determine preparation requirements. Each surface type has different porosity characteristics that affect how the molecular bond forms.
For a 10,000 sq ft facility over 10 years, a traditional wax program costs approximately $91,000 in labor, chemicals, and annual strip-and-wax cycles. A Micron program for the same facility costs approximately $15,000 over the same period, a savings of $76,000 or roughly 81%. The initial application cost is higher than a single year of traditional waxing, but the 10-year total is dramatically lower because Micron eliminates recurring strip cycles entirely.
Yes, but existing wax must be fully stripped and the surface thoroughly cleaned before application. MFS includes a complete strip-down as part of every Micron application. This is the last time you will ever need to strip your floors. After Micron bonds to the bare surface at the molecular level, ongoing maintenance is routine mopping with a neutral pH cleaner only. No stripping chemicals, no buffing equipment, no annual shutdowns.
Surface preparation and application for a 10,000 sq ft area typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Dry time per section is approximately 10 minutes, so areas reopen to foot traffic quickly. Most applications are completed overnight with no operational disruption to the following business day. Georgia Aquarium's 27,000 sq ft application was completed without disrupting visitor operations or marine systems proximity requirements.
Micron's post-application maintenance requires only neutral pH mopping, eliminating the harsh stripping chemicals that traditional wax programs require annually. Georgia Aquarium selected Micron specifically because it removes the need for chemical strippers in proximity to sensitive marine ecosystems. After initial application and cure, the sealed surface is chemically inert and does not off-gas. Always confirm specific compatibility with your environment before application.
