Preparation:
Prior to application on bare timber the surface must be coated with a Bona primer. Ensure the floor is acclimatized to its end-use environment, well sanded, dry and free from sanding dust, oil, wax and other contamination. Allow the finish and hardener to reach room temperature, insert filter and shake the Finish container thoroughly before mixing with the Hardener.
Optimal application conditions are between 18 - 25 C and 40 – 60 % relative air humidity. High temperatures and/or low humidity will shorten the drying time whilst low temperatures and/or high humidity will lengthen the drying time. Minimum temperature for use is 13C.
Bona Traffic Natural can be used for overcoating factory pre-finished and previously finished floors. Carry out an adhesion test before proceeding. Please read the Overcoating Instructions datasheet for additional information.
Application:
- Determine how much material is required. Shake the bottle thoroughly before decanting any finish.
- Add Traffic Hardener to the finish, at the addition rate as detailed on the scales on the bottles, and immediately shake the mixture thoroughly, for 1 minute. The mixture of finish / hardener should be used directly or at least within 4 hours.
- Apply the finish 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 coats. Anticipate slightly longer drying time for each coat that is applied.
- If necessary make an intermediate sanding using a screen or the Bona Scrad System grit P 150 (or finer) and remove dust before applying a final coat of finish. Note: If the previous coat of finish has been allowed more than 24 hours drying time then an intermediate sanding is always required.
The floor will take light foot traffic approximately 8 hours after the final application and may be put into light use after 24 hours. Allow the surface to dry for at least a week before using carpets or other floor coverings. Avoid installing heavy objects and do not damp mop the floor during this time. These timescales assume that normal climatic conditions are maintained (see Drying time).
Maintenance:
Clean the floor with Bona Cleaner or Bona Wood Floor Cleaner and a microfibre pad. For public areas it may be necessary to introduce a machine based cleaning programme. Worn surfaces can be renewed by applying a new coat of Bona Traffic Natural.
Note: Bona Freshen Up and Wood Floor Refresher cannot be used with Bona Traffic Natural as the sheen and appearance will be affected. Similarly the floor should not be maintained with a polish or other floor maintenance products.
