PROPERTIES
• Self shining - polishing not necessary
• Long lasting high gloss finish resists black heal marking
• Acrylic coating does not collect dirt like wax polishes
• Reduces slipping and sliding
• Excellent wear resistance
• Easy to apply - easy to remove
• Economical - 1 litre covers 20m²
• Waterbased - applicators can be cleaned with water
• Good protective coating for painted floors
APPLICATION
Clean floors properly i.e. remove all polishes, oil, dirt, marks etc.
Ensure that all detergent is washed off before applying FloorworX Sealer, as
any traces left will destroy the gloss and bond
of FloorworX Sealer.
Apply a thin even coating of FloorworX Sealer. Allow drying and re-applying
if necessary. A fresh floor may need 3
applications. FloorworX Sealer may be applied to a wet floor, but will then
take longer to dry and will take up a thinner
coat that will necessitate further application.
For extra gloss, buffing is possible but should not be necessary, as correct
application of FloorworX Sealer gives excellent
results. When the coatings have become thick from repeated application, it
will be necessary to remove using FloorworX
Stripper and re-apply to fresh surface.
MAINTENANCE
When necessary, either the floor may be buffed or another coating of FloorworX
Sealer can be applied.
FloorworX Spray Buff can be applied to maintain the high gloss should it be
required.
