Loba ProColor Timber Floor Stain

Description

Loba ProColor Timber Floor Stain – 750ml and 2.5 Litres

Loba ProColour is a solvent-based wooden floor stain. It dries reliably and lap-free
regardless of climatic conditions and can be easily finished over with LOBA Water-
based finishes.

Product Advantages

• Versatile design options
• Easy and safe application
• All variants can be mixed with each other
• Variety of possible combinations

Product Applications

• Suitable for the staining of parquet and hardwood floors

Application

• 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% to 75%, material temperature
  +18°C to + 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.
• Stir the material well.
• The innate colour 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 colour 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 colouring parquet flooring”.
• Before using the colour variants, we recommend carrying out a test
  application to assess the colour 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 colour coverage,
  pigment saturation is required; dilution should therefore be carried out at most
  with three parts of transparent and one part colour 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. Refer to
  the Loba technical tips when doing so: see “Water-popping of wooden floors and
  coloring with ProColor”.

DRYING TIME

• Earliest possible overcoating after 12 hours.

  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.
