AquaSeal NaturalWhite – varnish for heavy loads that does not change the tone of the wood

Two-component waterborne finishing product based on polyurethane. The product has a very high chemical and abrasion resistance and is suitable for high-traffic hardwood floors. Due to its elastic properties, AquaSeal NaturalWhite is also suitable for untreated cork surfaces. Giscode: W2/DD+ for matt, semigloss, glossy; W3/DD+ for naturalwhite, royalmatt.

Degree of gloss: naturalwhite, royalmatt, matt, semigloss, glossy.

Special instructions: to minimise edge bonding,  AquaSeal ExoBloc, AquaSeal FlexPrimer,  Classic BaseOil or SolvSeal UniQuickPrimer may be used alternatively as a primer. Otherwise the product may be used as a complete system. Please avoid interchanging the hardeners of the different gloss levels.

Application: prior to the application, AquaSeal NaturalWhite is mixed with AquaSeal Härter (hardener/mixing rate 10:1) in a bucket or in the BergerTool MixBox. Mix well right after adding the hardener. A rest period of 10 min. before processing ensures an optimum processing. The pot life of the mixture is 2 h, i.e. the mixture remains liquid for about 1 day, and however, in that case it should be used as trowel primer only (decreased resistance of the dry finishing film). Only mix the quantity re- quires for application. The mixture releases CO2 – so, to avoid the cans bursting, do not seal hermetically. The material is applied in 2-3 coats by roller/brush.

Special tips: contrary to conventional solvent-based finishes, AquaSeal Naturalwhite finishes should be applied in rich layers. The material should not be excessively spread with the roller.

The degree of gloss “naturalwhite” represents an exception. It is especially recommended for light woods to preserve the raw wood look. Naturalwhite has to be rolled in 3-4 thin layers. Consumption per layer approx. 70-90 ml/m2. Trowel- ling is not recommended.

Depending on the optically desired color and brightening intensity, the last two layers can optionally be reduced by the gloss level royalmatt or increased with Classic BaseOil white or naturalwhite as a primer. AquaSeal FlexPrimer can also be used as a primer. So, an individual color shape is possible.

Drying: apply at a maximum of 2 coats per day to avoid excessive swelling pressure. As a rule, the finish itself can be cautiously sanded and walked on after 3-4 h at 23°C/50% rel. humidity. Before the last coat of varnish, it is recommended to perform an intermediate sanding with a 120-grit sieve. Insufficient ventilation, low temperature, different humidity as well as thicker finish coats will considerably delay the drying. The coat is loadable under standard conditions after 24 h. Do not expose to wear, cover with carpets or applies care products for 7 days. After complete drying/crystallization of the varnish, Brilliance Everclear wax can be applied.

Consumption: depending on substrate and working method: 1 trowel coat: approx. 30 ml/m2 resp. approx. 35 m2/l; 1 roller/brush coat:
approx. 100 ml/m2 resp. approx. 10 m2/l depending on degree of gloss.

Storage/ transport: shelf life of original unopened packing min. 12 months (finish) resp. 12 months (hardener) provided that material is trans- ported and stored at a cool and dry place protected from freezing.

Store in a dry, well-ventilated place at a temperature between 15 ° C and 25 ° C. Protect from heat and direct sunlight. Keep tightly closed.

Industrial coated prefinished hardwood floors: AquaSeal 2KPU is suitable for recoating many prefinished hardwood floors, however, due to the great number of prod- ucts available, it is not possible to make any general state- ments. For this reason, individual adhesion tests are neces- sary in each case. We recommend basic cleaning with Brilliance Cleaner L94 and wiping with clear water followed by careful polished with sieve grid 120 prior to recoating.
