• 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% - 75%, 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.

Thinner / Mixing

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

Application tool / application rate

LOBA trowel / approx. 30-50ml/m² (20-33m²/l or 15-20m²/container) or
LOBA oil roller Microfaser 60-80 as a wiper (do not roll) / approx. 30-50ml/m² (20-33m²/l or 15-20m²/container) depending on the absorbency of the substrate. Water-popping prior to the application, increases the total material consumption up to double the quantity.
Equalise with LOBASAND SpecialPad beige.
To intensify the color, water-popping in advance is possible. Regard our technical tips when doing so: see "Water-popping of wooden floors and coloring with ProColor".

Drying time

• Earliest possible overcoating after 12 hours.

Apply putty to the joints:

CAUTION! Not all joint putties are suitable. To avoid problems, we recommend using LOBA EasyFill, VivaFill or alternatively LOBA Fugenkittlösung.

Application for parquet and wooden flooring:

(all colors except white on oak and other tannin-containing timbers):

• Carefully sand the substrate, (see the LOBA sheet "Sanding instructions: coloring parquet flooring").
• Apply ProColor in sections.
• Sponge off the excess with a pad (LOBASAND SpecialPad beige) until an even surface results. (Use one pad disc for every 10 m2).
• Dry for 12 hours.
• Roll on LOBA Water-based finish in three coats.

ProColor white on oak and other tannin-containing timbers:

• Carefully sand the substrate,(see the LOBA sheet "Sanding instructions: coloring parquet flooring").
• Apply ProColor in sections.
• Sponge off the excess with a pad (LOBASAND SpecialPad beige) until an even surface results. (Provide one pad disc for every 10 m2).
• Dry for 12 hours.
• Roll on LOBA PrimaSeal Plus.
• Dry for approx. 2 hours.
• Roll on LOBA Water-based finish in two coats.

Suitable product combinations

Suitable finishes:

Up to heavy traffic:

• EasyFinish.
• Viva.
  

Up to very heavy traffic:

• 2K Fusion.
• 2K Duo.
• 2K Supra A.T..

Important information

On old floors with joints, as an alternative to the trowel, use the LOBA oil roller Microfaser 60-80 as a wiper (do not roller).
