3 WATERBASED FINISHES WATERBASED FINISHES Synteko waterbased sealers are for sealing wooden and parquet floors before applying Synteko waterbased top coats. Synteko sealers can be used on practially all wood species as well as on untreated cork. They are fast drying and ready to use. Synteko waterbased top coats are intended to use on hardwood and parquet floors, as well as on untreated cork floors and other wood products. They can be used on untreated or previously finished surfaces. All Synteko waterbased floor finishes are NMP-free, not -yellowing and low-odour. BEFORE USING THE FLOOR The floor can be used with caution 24 hours after the last coat is applied. Furniture can be placed after 24 hours. Allow the moisture to evaporate for 1 week before laying rugs. Final curing of surface after 1 week. Do not clean floor with water or detergents during the first month. Attach felt pads to the legs of chairs and tables in order to avoid scratching the finish. The surface must not be covered with non-porous protective materials. NB! Detailed information and instructions are provided on the Product Information sheet and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). This document only presents a selection of key information. PLEASE NOTE! Waterborne floor finishes must not be covered with solventborne finishes. Oily and resinous wood species such as teak should be coated as soon as possible after machine sanding. All finishes should be shaken before use. Do this before vacuu ming so that the air mixed into the finish during shaking has a few minutes to escape before use. Wood that has been chemically treated or mechanically compressed can not be finished with waterborne finishes. Stained floors should not be sealed but finished directly with Synteko waterbased finishes. Do not apply more than two coats per day (sealer and/ or finish). Chemically pre-treated wood or mechanically compressed wood should be treated according to the manufacturer s recommendations. Do not use tape directly on the finished floor. Never use silicon products in the vicinity of finishing work. Bear in mind that tools must not be wet when you begin finishing. Check for water inside the roller. Remember that floor temperature can be much lower than air temperature. Turn off powerful mechanical ventilation systems prior to fini shing. Reduce the floor-heating temperature prior to finishing. The ideal drying time of the second and final coat should always be app. 2 hours to dust dry. Let the previous coat dry to a 10 12% moisture ratio prior to subsequent finishing. Frozen finish that has thawed can result in problems with air bubbles in the finish. WATERBASED FINISHES 5

12 SOLVENTBASED FINISHES If you want your floor to have a traditional look you should apply a solventbased finish. It is undisputed that solventbased finishes give floors a high quality surface, and add that warm, classic touch. Synteko solventbased finishes can be applied directly on untreated or previously finished hardwood and parquet surfaces. BEFORE USING THE FLOOR The floor can be used with caution 24 hours after the last coat is applied. Furniture can be placed after 24 hours. Allow the moisture to evaporate for one week before laying rugs. Final curing of surface after 2 weeks. Do not clean floor with water or detergents during the first month. Attach felt pads to the legs of chairs and tables in order to avoid scratching the finish. The surface must not be covered with non-porous protective materials.

The oil penetrates the surface and enhances the colour and lustre of the wood. The surface becomes very durable and is thus suitable for heavy traffic areas. If maintained properly, the oil treated floor will become more wear resistant and beautiful for each year that goes by and you will never have to sand your floor back to the bare wood again. Synteko floor oils have very good wear resistance, are ready to use, not -yellowing and low- odour. They all can be tinted with Synteko TINTING PASTE. BEFORE USING OILED FLOOR Wait for 3 days before laying rugs or carpets and do not use vapour-proof, non-skid underlays or other coverings. Do not wet a floor treated with Synteko floor oils during the first week. Do not use vapour proof, non-skid underlayments or other coverings. Attach felt pads to the legs of chairs and tables in order to avoid scratching the finish.

14 PLEASE NOTE! During use, the oil should be at room temperature. The floor temperature should be between 20 C and 25 C (68 F and 77 F). The moisture content of the wood should be between 5% and 12%. Shake the can carefully before and during use. Do not apply areas larger than 25 m² at a time (10 m² at a time in good drying conditions). Do not allow unabsorbed oil to dry! Dried unabsorbed oil produces glossy spots on the surface. Too much oil will result in a longer drying time and longer time for over-coating. On wood with low absorption, leave some areas untreated during the first application. These areas will be filled during the redistribution procedure. The oxygen curing process will be extremely slow if the temperature is below 18 C. Floor heating system must be turned on during application and polishing. Do not polish the surface while warm so as to avoid bleeding back of the oil. When the finish is dried the room can be aired. Be sure to start regular maintenance before the surface is worn through to bare wood. HARDWAX OIL A solvent-free hardwax-oil with very good coverage and filling properties, based on vegetable raw materials, that makes the parquet and wooden floors more resistant to wear, slipping and liquids (anti-slip class R10 according DIN 51130).

21 Finishing a wooden floor is not an assembly line job. Each floor is unique when it comes to appearance, condition, type of wood, etc. Each environment in which a floor is situated is also unique in respect to varying wear and the effects of everyday chemicals of different kinds. Temperature and humidity are other factors that can vary a great deal from one job to another. Choice of products and handling of the products must be changed according to the present situation. Synteko supports professionals treating wooden floors (finishing, oiling, cleaning and maintenance). Synteko s brand is oriented to a contractor who needs highquality finishing products and appreciates easy handling, good durability, natural look of the wooden floor, and stable product quality. We are constantly keeping track of market trends and the needs of our customers, and our development group is always busy developing new products. Synteko production is certified in accordance with the International Standard Organization s ISO 9001 regarding quality management standards Synteko is a brand of the SIKA Group
