Areas of Use
For indoor use only.
Specifically developed for the renovation of linoleum, PVC, CV, and LVT floor coverings.
Also suitable for unvulcanized rubber granules (EPDM rubber).
Ideal for floors with high traffic demands in public and private spaces, such as healthcare centers, nursing homes, and yoga studios.
Complies with DIN EN 16165:2021-12 Assessment Class R10 for slip resistance.
Important Considerations
- 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, relative humidity of 40%-75%, and adequately ventilated application areas.
- The material should be poured into a bucket and mixed well before applying with a roller; it should not be poured directly onto the floor.
- The product is ready for application and should not be diluted!
- It can be walked on carefully after 2 hours, and finishes can be applied without intermediate sanding within 24 hours. Afterward, a single intermediate sanding can improve the optical results.
- If intermediate sanding is necessary, at least 4 hours should be waited.
- Materials containing softening agents, such as carpet underlays, furniture legs, and chair wheels, can cause softening and color changes. Stains from hair dyes, car, motorcycle, bicycle tires, etc., can lead to permanent, irreversible color changes on the surface.
