MRT, manufacturer of Ramuc® and Tuff Coat®, and Life Floor® have formed a strategic partnership to create safer, more beautiful aquatic environments. By combining purpose-built solutions for pool interiors, decks, walkways and interactive play areas, the partnership helps owners, architects and contractors specify the right material for every surface. Together, the brands bring safety, performance and design together to create better experiences for every guest.
Greensboro, NC October 05, 2026 –(PR.com)– Today, Modern Recreational Technologies (MRT), manufacturer of the Ramuc® and Tuff Coat® brands, and Life Floor®, the industry leader in aquatic safety flooring, announce a strategic partnership. Together they’ll focus on improving safety, aesthetics, and long-term performance across aquatic facilities through coordinated surface solutions.
The partnership is built on a simple philosophy: every surface has a purpose, and every purpose deserves the right material. By matching purpose-built technologies to each environment, MRT and Life Floor help create aquatic facilities that are safer, more beautiful, and more enjoyable for everyone who uses them.

Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach, MRT and Life Floor are combining their expertise to help architects, designers, contractors, and facility owners specify the right solution for every environment, from submerged pool interiors and surrounding decks to splash pads, spray parks, and interactive play areas.
“When families visit a splash pad or water park, safety should be built into every surface they interact with,” said Jonathan Keller, CEO of Life Floor. “Together, Life Floor and Tuff Coat provide designers and owners with tremendous flexibility to create customized aquatic spaces without compromising safety.”
Life Floor will continue to serve as the premium surface recommendation for interactive aquatic play areas where impact absorption and slip resistance are critical. MRT’s Ramuc brand provides professional-grade coatings engineered for submerged pool surfaces, while Tuff Coat delivers durable, slip-resistant coatings for surrounding decks, walkways, transition areas, and other surfaces where impact protection is not required.
“This partnership was built around a simple philosophy: safety comes first,” said Gary Ferguson, Vice President of Sales, Aquatics & Parks at MRT. “Life Floor, Ramuc and Tuff Coat each serve a unique purpose, and together we can help customers select the right surface for every application.”
The partnership also creates meaningful advantages for asset owners, aquatic contractors, and designers. By offering coordinated recommendations across multiple surface types, project teams can simplify specification, streamline project planning, and deliver more comprehensive solutions.
Most importantly, the partnership benefits the people these facilities are built to serve. Whether it’s a child running through a splash pad, a family enjoying a community pool, or guests spending the day at a water park, this partnership allows families to focus on making memories, knowing safety has been thoughtfully engineered into every step.
The strategic partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing aquatic recreation through innovation, collaboration, and a belief that the best facilities are created by matching the right technology to the right environment.
