"With the product name »OLI-AQUA AUTHENTIC« we are alluding to the properties of the parquet seal to give the floor an amazingly authentic raw wood look," says Managing Director Götz Schubert. The two-component parquet sealer does not change the colour of the wood at all and shows optically or haptically hardly any lacquer coat. The surface scores with mechanical robustness and with a gloss level of less than 5% is exceptionally matt. Thanks to considerable progress in the field of aqueous polyurethane dispersions, it was possible to optimally integrate the matting agent into the molecular structure of the paint binder. The matting agent scatters the light so that the dull matt effect is further enhanced. The surface is extremely resistant to dust and fingerprints. It is also resistant to yellowing and much more scratch-resistant than many comparable parquet finishes. The puristic elegance appeals particularly to design-oriented people who want an amazingly natural seal for their parquet floor.

Easy to process

In principle, the application of »OLI-AQUA AUTHENTIC« does not differ from that of a conventional two-component parquet sealer. Immediately before application, the Parquet Sealer has to be mixed with »OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2« in a ratio of 20:1. The pot life of 3 hours is also practical for large surfaces. The sealer has a very good filling capacity and can be applied evenly in three roller coats with 100 g/m² each. In order to achieve a perfect surface result, an intermediate sanding should be carried out before applying the last sealing coat. After complete curing, the water-based parquet sealer forms a dense film with a very high surface hardness. This makes the wood extremely resistant to mechanical influences and moisture penetration. This is why the seal can even be used on heavily frequented parquet floors in commercial areas such as restaurants, kindergartens and schools. It is particularly suitable for oak and light-color soft- and hard woods for indoors.

Very environmentally friendly

With a VOC-content of less than 3% is »OLI-AQUA AUHTENTIC« very environmentally friendly and ensures a healthy living environment. The water-based parquet sealer conforms to EU-Decopaint-directives and is a building product approved by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). The product complies with the latest state of coating technology and environmental legislation and complies with DIN EN 71-3 (safety of toys) and is saliva- and perspiration-resistant in accordance with DIN 53160.
