PrimaFloor - Hard insulating primer and wood stain - Owatrol Pro

Primafloor is a tinted or colorless insulating hard base .
Suitable for all types of wood , it evens out surfaces and strengthens the adhesion of the varnish .

Properties :

• Apply to raw wood before varnishing.
• Strengthens the adhesion of the varnish and guarantees an optimum result.
• Isolates the substrate (especially in the case of tropical woods) before varnishing.
• Yield: Approximately 10 to 12 m² per coat per litre.
  Yield may vary depending on the condition of the substrate, its impregnation, and the application equipment.
• Single component, ready to use.
• Insensitive to light, does not yellow.
• Slows down the formation of stains on woods rich in tannin or natural oil.

Preparing the support:

1. To avoid excessively deep scratches from sanding, perform a test sanding with a floor sander equipped with a #40 or #50 grit.
2. Depending on the visual result obtained, continue progressively with a finer grain up to No. 80 or 100 or start with a larger grain (grain < 40) for a soil that is clogged and not leveled.
3. Use an edger for the edges, a scraper or a chisel for the corners.
4. If necessary, fill cracks < 2 mm with LianFloor and resume sanding with 80 or 100 grit depending on the last grit used.
5. Finish with finishing sanding up to grit #120 to 150 depending on the type of wood and the thickness of the wear layer.

Professional advice:

• Follow the particle size scale above. It is recommended to skip only one grain at a time.
• Adjust the sanding pressure and speed according to the grit used, the type of wood (softness or hardness), and the thickness of the wear layer. Proper preparation is essential for the final finish.
• Always dust thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner between each sanding, without forgetting dust traps (baseboards, radiators, pipes, window sills, etc.).
• For parquet floors that were previously oiled or waxed: first, dry stripping with DSP 800 followed by degreasing before sanding (consult us).
• In all cases, comply with the applicable standards/DTUs.

Application :

1. Shake the product well.
2. Apply a layer of PrimaFloor, making sure the product penetrates well.
3. Start with the edges and then cover the entire surface, working in 2m x 2m sections.
