How do I apply LOBA® Water-Based 2K Polyurethane Floor Finish?

To effectively apply LOBA® Water-Based 2K Polyurethane Floor Finish, follow these best practices:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is sanded according to the appropriate technique and is dry, clean, and free from old layers, grease, silicone, sanding dust, and other contaminants.
• Shake Well: Shake the product thoroughly before application to ensure proper mixing.
• Mix with Hardener: Add the hardener at a 10:1 ratio and mix by shaking. For partial amounts, determine the quantities by weighing. The mixture can be used within one hour after mixing.
• Apply Evenly: Use a roller to apply the finish evenly across the surface. Avoid applying excessive amounts to prevent swelling of parquet, wooden floors, and cork coverings.
• Allow to Dry: 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 12 hours. Initial maintenance and complete closure are possible after 3 days.

What are the important considerations when using LOBA® Water-Based 2K Polyurethane Floor Finish?

When using LOBA® Water-Based 2K Polyurethane Floor Finish, keep the following considerations in mind:

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.
• Optimal Conditions: Apply the finish at room temperatures between +15°C and +25°C, with floor temperatures between +15°C and +22°C, relative humidity of 40%-75%, and material temperatures between +18°C and +25°C. The maximum wood moisture content should not exceed 12%.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the application area to facilitate proper drying.
• Application Limits: Do not apply the finish more than twice a day to reduce the risk of excessive blistering.
• Drying and Polishing: Allow the finish to dry completely before polishing. The surface can be walked on after 4 hours, light use after 24 hours, and full loading after 12 hours. Initial maintenance can be done after 3 days.
• Avoid Intermediate Sanding: Do not perform intermediate sanding before applying the finish.
• Immediate Cleanup: Clean up any spills immediately to prevent discoloration and ensure the integrity of the surface.
• Protective Measures: Use shoe covers on uncoated fillers and avoid contact with materials containing softening agents to prevent softening and color changes.
