Important Considerations
- LOBA Factory series primers and finishes should be applied to decorative floors that have not been sanded.
- The surface must be dry and free of any possible old layers, grease, silicone, and other contaminants. Optimum working conditions are achieved at room temperatures of +15°C to +25°C, floor temperatures of +15°C to +22°C, and relative humidity of 40%-75%. Application areas must be adequately ventilated.
- Shake the material, add the hardener at a 10:1 ratio, and mix by shaking. If partial amounts need to be mixed, determine the quantities by weighing. The mixture can be used within one hour after mixing.
- To reduce the risk of excessive blistering, it is recommended to apply with a roller no more than twice a day.
- The product is ready for application and should not be diluted!
- No intermediate sanding should be done before the primer application.
- The surface can be carefully walked on after 4 hours. Light use can begin after 24 hours, and full loading and closure can occur after 5 days.
- Liquids should be cleaned up immediately, as prolonged exposure can lead to discoloration.
- If film damage (scratches, holes, cuts) occurs, liquids may penetrate the filler without obstruction.
- Depending on the base color of the flooring or surface finish, stains may appear more severe (e.g., a dark brown stain on a light-colored floor).
- Uncoated fillers should only be stepped on with shoe covers. Dirt and moisture affecting the filler may become visible after surface treatment.
- Materials containing softening agents, such as carpet underlays, furniture legs, and chair wheels, can cause softening and color changes. Stains from hair dyes, car and motorcycle tires, etc., can lead to permanent, irreversible color changes on the surface.
