Bona - experts in wooden floor care since 1919
Bona AB is a family-owned company founded in
1919. With its headquarters in Sweden, Bona is now present in more than 70
different countries all over the world through subsidiaries and distributors.
They provide products for the installation,
maintenance and renovation of wooden floors throughout their lifetime. Today
they have solutions for professionals, homeowners and parquet producers.
Great concern for the environment
Bona has great concern for the ones working
with their solutions, living and enjoying them, and the environment affected by
their actions and products, today and tomorrow.
They strive to continuously launch better
products with less environmental impact. This has led to breakthrough innovations
from waterborne finishes in the 1970s to dust-free sanding in the 2000s. Today,
they are proud to be able to offer a full range of environmentally sound
products for sanding, finishing, fastening and maintaining a wooden floor –
throughout its lifetime.
Preparations:
Prior to application the surface must be
pre-treated with a waterborne primer from Bona. Ensure floor is acclimatized to
its end-use environment, well sanded, dry and free from sanding dust, oil, wax
and other contamination. Allow varnish and hardener to reach room temperature,
insert filter and shake the container thoroughly before use.
Optimal application conditions are between
18-25°C and 40-60% relative air humidity.
High temperatures and low humidity shorten, low
temperatures and high humidity lengthen drying time.
Minimum temperature for use is 13°C.
Preparation of
previously varnished floors
Bona Traffic can be used for overcoating factory
pre-finished and previously varnished floors but satisfactory adhesion must be
secured prior to use!
Floors treated with wax, polish or similar cannot
be over coated. Suitable surfaces are pre-treated with Bona Prep before
coating. A detailed overcoating instruction is available for download at www.bona.com.
Application:
1. Add 10% Traffic/Flow Hardener to the varnish
and immediately shake the mixture thoroughly, for 1 minute. The mixture of varnish/hardener
should be used directly or at least within 4 hours.
2. Apply the varnish using a Bona Roller. Roll
with a smooth flowing motion alternately across and with the grain of the wood
avoiding accumulations of product. Always maintain a “wet edge” to avoid
overlaps. Allow to dry properly before applying further layers. Anticipate slightly
longer drying time for each layer that is applied.
3. If necessary make an intermediate sanding
using a screen or the Bona Scrad System grit P150 (or finer) and remove dust before
applying a final layer of varnish. Note: If the previous layer of varnish has been
allowed more than 24 hours drying time then an intermediate sanding is always
required.
Floor will take light foot traffic
approximately 8 hours after the final application. Allow the surface to dry for
at least 1 week before covering with carpets or other floor coverings, or
loading with heavy objects. Also avoid damp mopping the floor during this time.
Maintenance:
Clean the floor with Bona Cleaner or Bona Wood
Floor Cleaner and a microfibre pad. For maintenance and upkeep of the surface,
floors can be overcoated at intervals with additional coats of varnish. The
frequency of this operation can be greatly reduced if Bona Freshen Up or Bona
Wood Floor Refresher is applied periodically. This will restore the appearance
of a dull floor whilst still allowing further coats of varnish to be applied
without the need for sanding the floor back to bare timber.
