Description
Loba Microfibre Roller 120 — sometimes referred to in the flooring industry as the ‘green core’ or simply the ‘Micro 120’ — is a professional-grade 250mm roller cover specifically engineered to apply LOBA water-based floor finishes and primers, including EasyPrime and VivaPrime. Its 10mm nap is matched to the flow characteristics of these waterborne products, allowing for a smooth, even and consistent finish rather than the streaking or lap marks a generic roller can leave behind.
That streak-free, lap-mark-free result matters because a visible lap mark on a finished floor is one of the most common visual defects in a floor finishing job, and it’s largely a function of the roller’s ability to release the finish evenly as it moves across the floor. This roller’s microfibre construction is built specifically to minimise lint shedding while optimising release of water-based product, giving a genuinely consistent film build suited to both 1K and 2K LOBA finishes.
Engineered for an application rate of approximately 100-120g/m², it gives predictable coverage that pairs directly with the dosing guidance on LOBA’s own finish and primer products. Being sold without the roller frame keeps it a simple, economical consumable that fits onto whatever roller handle is already in use on the job.
Because a poorly chosen roller can undermine even a carefully applied, high-quality LOBA finish, pairing this roller with the correct finish product is a genuinely important detail rather than an afterthought — the finish’s specified performance assumes an application method capable of delivering the consistent film build this roller is designed to achieve. Replacing the cover between different finish types also helps avoid any cross-contamination between products.

Where to Use
- Applying LOBA water-based floor finishes, including EasyPrime and VivaPrime
- 1K and 2K waterborne finish systems
- Professional flooring finishing work requiring a streak-free result
How to Apply
- Fit the roller cover — onto a standard roller frame/handle.
- Load evenly with finish — avoiding over-saturation.
- Apply in consistent passes — maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
- Recoat as directed — following the specific LOBA product’s application guidance.
Important Notes
- Matched specifically to LOBA waterborne finishes and primers — confirm compatibility with other brands before use.
- Maintain a consistent application rate near 100-120g/m² for the intended finish result.
- Clean or replace the roller cover between uses to avoid contaminating subsequent coats.
