Description
PREMIUM POLYURETHANE FLOOR VARNISH is a clear 2 component acrylic - polyurethane varnish that provides ultimate long lasting protection of exterior and interior wood, cement, stone and metallic floors. It contains UV filters which protect against sunlight. The durable polyurethane based formula provides a long lasting finish with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance as well as resistance to pedestrian traffic, humidity and extreme weather conditions. The excellent combination of hardness and elasticity make it the ideal floor varnish for both DIY and industrial applications.
ADVANTAGES
- Forms an elastic, seamless, transparent protective membrane
- Excellent wear resistance
- Does not crack or peel
- Maintains its finish
- Does not turn yellow, excellent anti-chalking properties
- Anti-Graffiti friendly – easy to remove common graffiti (gloss)
- Excellent adhesion properties
- Excellent sun and frost resistance
- Surface can handle pedestrian and vehicular traffic
APPLICATIONS
- Ideal for use on all exterior and interior wood parquet floors
- Waterproofing, sealing, and protection of cement floors
- Waterproofing, sealing, and protection of natural stone floors (for artificial stones a compatibility test is recommended)
- Ideal finish – varnish for metallic floors and surfaces
- Protection and waterproofing of most building surfaces

Instructions for use
Surface preparation
Careful surface preparation is very important for optimum finish and durability.
- The substrate should be dry and free from dust, chalk, grease, and any foreign material that may harmfully affect adhesion.
- Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic substances, and dust need to be removed by mechanical means such as a sanding machine or, where possible, with a high-pressure washing machine. Possible dust after sanding must be removed.
- Light sanding of wood parquet is necessary. Carefully remove dust. Internal moisture of wood must not exceed 12%-14%. Degrease oily wood with nitro solvent or acetone.
- New concrete floors need to dry for at least 28 days. Moisture must not exceed 5% and ambient humidity not over 70%.
- All substrates must be completely dry prior to application, and rain must be avoided for 48 hours.
- Minimum application temperature is 10oC.
Priming
Unsound porous surfaces can be primed with same material diluted 10 - 15 % with solvent DIL X - 100 for substrate strengthening.
Application
- Mix carefully the two components, taking care to ensure thorough mixing on the walls and the bottom of the pail.
- Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes.
- Dilute 5-10% with DIL X-100 for roller or brush application and 10-20% for spray application.
- Apply the first coat.
- You must avoid applying the varnish in heavily thick coats, as it will wear rapidly.
- The second coat may be applied when the first is thoroughly dry, 6 (35oC) to 24 (15oC) hours depending on ambient temperature.
- Depending on surface absorption, a third coat may be required.
- The final curing is achieved in 7-14 days (25oC).
Maintenance of surface: wash with a mild detergent and water, and rinse thoroughly.
REMARKS
- Application conditions: Substrate’s moisture: <4%, Surface and Ambient temperature: 12oC - 35oC, Relative Air Humidity: <70%.
- Freshly painted surfaces must be protected from excessive humidity and rain for 36 – 48 hours.
- PREMIUM POLYURETHANE FLOOR VARNISH contains solvents, and during application, good ventilation of the space should be ensured.
- It is advisable to use protective clothing, gloves, a hat, and a mask with a filter suitable for solvents.
- If recoating is carried out after 36 hours, the surface must be sanded with coarse sandpaper and dust must be removed.
- Curing as well as pot life are affected by ambient temperature and humidity. Low temperatures and high humidity tend to increase pot life, while high temperatures and low humidity shorten the pot life.
- Before application, read carefully all instructions and information relevant to its safe and best use (Safety Data Sheet).
- Surfaces that may have had a siloxane-based water-repellent, oil-repellent impregnation, or wax applied must be thoroughly cleaned with an acidic cleaner or thoroughly scrubbed if possible and tested for suitability.
- The substrate must be at least 3°C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the paint’s finish.
