Description
PREMIUM POLYURETHANE FLOOR VARNISH AQUA is a clear 2 component aliphatic polyurethane waterbased varnish that provides ultimate long lasting protection of exterior and interior wood, concrete, stone and metallic surfaces (floors & walls). It contains UV filters for superior protection against sunlight. The durable polyurethane based formula provides a long lasting finish with high mechanical and chemical resistance as well as resistance to pedestrian traffic, humidity and extreme weather conditions. The excellent combination of hardness and elasticity makes it the ideal floor varnish. It is ideal for applications where excellent performance is required but the use of solvent-based materials is not allowed.
ADVANTAGES
- Forms an elastic, seamless, transparent protective membrane
- Excellent wear resistance
- Does not crack or peel
- Does not turn yellow, excellent anti-chalking properties
- Excellent adhesion properties
- Excellent sun and frost resistance
- Anti-slip properties
- Low odor formula – user friendly
- Surface can handle pedestrian and light vehicular traffic
APPLICATIONS
- Ideal for use on all exterior and interior wood parquet floors
- Waterproofing, sealing, and protection of cement floors and structures
- 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 of most epoxy-based coatings
- 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 65%.
- All substrates must be completely dry prior to application, and rain must be avoided for 48 hours.
- Minimum application temperature is 8oC.
Priming
Unsound porous surfaces can be primed with same material diluted 15-20 % with distilled water 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 distilled water 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 not cure properly.
- 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
- Ideal application conditions: Substrate’s moisture: <5%, Surface’s and Ambient temperature: 12oC - 35oC, Relative Air Humidity: <65%.
- Freshly painted surface must be protected from excessive humidity and rain for 48 hours.
- 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.
- If recoating is carried out after 36 hours, the surface must be sanded with coarse sandpaper and dust must be removed.
- 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 OXY CLEAN CL17 or thoroughly scrubbed if possible and tested for suitability.
- PREMIUM POLYURETHANE FLOOR VARNISH AQUA is intended for professional use and trained applicators.
- PREMIUM POLYURETHANE FLOOR VARNISH AQUA is not suitable for heavy vehicle traffic.
- Do not paint surfaces with internal moisture as this may decrease the adhesion of the varnish.
