• The surface must be professionally sanded. The floor must be dry and free of any old coatings, oil, grease, wax, silicone, sanding dust and other impurities.
• The optimal processing conditions are room temperature +15°C to + 25°C, floor temperature +15°C to +22°C, rel. humidity 40% - 65%, material temperature +18°C - + 25°C, max. wood moisture 12%, sufficiently ventilate working rooms.
• In order to prevent parquet damage, the room temperature should be set to the annual average expected for the use of the product.
• Transfer material to a LOBA varnish bucket before applying.
• Shake the contents well.
• The innate color of the wood used, its structure and its pore properties, as well as the fineness of the sanding pattern, also have a major impact on the color that can be achieved. We strongly recommend to produce a color sample on the original wood using site-appropriate sanding techniques to check the result by yourself and if necessary for approval by the project client.
• Note the LOBA "Sanding instructions for coloring parquet flooring".
• Before using the color variants, we recommend carrying out a test application to assess the color tone that can be achieved and the overall visual effect. The colors can be mixed with each other. For lightening, or to reduce the coverage, the transparent variant can be added in. For an even color coverage, pigment saturation is required; dilution should therefore be carried out at most with three parts of transparent and one part color variant.
• If more than one container is being used for large areas, the total quantity must be mixed before work commences in a large container.
• On flooded surfaces, the deep penetration of the pigments into the wood means that it is not possible to restore the surface to its original condition.
• Observe general and, if necessary, product-specific occupational health and safety regulations. Further information can be found in the GISCODE-related operating instructions which are available under www.wingis-online.de.
• This product is part of the LOBA and Wakol “Connected Systems”. The approved combinations with Wakol parquet adhesives may be found in the "Connected Systems" Matrix: www.loba.de/connected-systems

Thinner / Mixing

To lighten the shade or to reduce the coverage, mix with Markant semigloss. Max. 3 parts transparent to one part color.

Application tool / application rate

Trowel application: LOBA trowel / approx. 20 ml/m² (50 m²/l)
roller and brush application: LOBA oil roller Microfaser 60-80 or LOBA oilbrush / approx. 60-100 ml/m² (12m²/l)

Drying time

• Earliest possible overcoating after 12 hours.
• However within 24 hours.
• Can be walked on after 12 hours.
• Light stress after 24 hours.
• Full Stress and coverage after 10 days.
• The floor can be covered earlier by using LOBA Cover 400, for details see the TI for the product.

Applying MarkantColor:

For coloring especially, we recommend following our sanding recommendations "Sanding instructions: coloring parquet flooring"

• Carefully apply MarkantColor in sections using a LOBA trowel. On old floors with joints or bevelled wood planks, use the LOBA oil roller Microfaser 60-80 as the wiper (do not roll).
• Immediately equalise with a single-disc machine and the LOBASAND SpecialPad beige underneath.
• Dry overnight, maximum 24 hours.
• Roll on a thin and even layer of Markant transparent using the LOBA oil roller Microfaser 60-80. For light MarkantColor colors, MarkantNature can be applied as an alternative to the transparent version.

Important information

In the case of interim drying periods of more than 24 hours, an interim sanding must be carried out before the application of a second layer. This is not possible with MarkantColor, hence the maximum interim drying periods must be unfailingly complied with. Otherwise adhesion problems will occur.Keep soaked cloths, pads and other tools in closed containers. Moisten oil in combination with sanding dust, fabric cloths and so on with water or store in a sealable bucket and dispose of in a fire-safe manner, since otherwise there is a risk of self-ignition.Trowel applications are only possible with joint-sealed wooden flooring. Oil that penetrates joints will not dry completely over a long period.
