Blue Dolphin Eco Starter: High-Quality Primer for Floors

What is the Blue Dolphin Eco Starter?

Blue Dolphin Eco Starter is a high-quality single-component primer specially developed for treating wooden floors. This product serves as the first layer in a multi-layer system, optimally preparing the surface for further finishing with other lacquers from the Blue Dolphin range. With a consumption of 9 to 11 m² per liter for the first layer, this primer is both economical to use and effective in providing a solid base coat. The Eco Starter is available in 1-liter and 5-liter packages, and the yield depends on the absorbency and nature of the substrate. This primer dries within 30 minutes to touch dry and can be sanded after approximately 12 hours. The product is designed to dry quickly and is easy to process, making it ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a perfect finish for their wooden floors.

How the Blue Dolphin Eco Starter works

Blue Dolphin Eco Starter works by forming a protective and adhesion-enhancing layer on wooden surfaces. This ensures uniform absorption of the subsequent layers of lacquer, resulting in a consistent appearance and a durable finish. The product should be applied to a smoothly sanded, dust-free, and grease-free surface. After the first layer, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, a second coat of lacquer can be applied after approximately 12 hours. For optimal results, the first layer should be lightly polished with grit 220 sandpaper. This primer ensures that the final lacquer layer adheres better and provides extra protection against wear and discoloration due to daily use and exposure to sunlight.

Benefits and properties

Blue Dolphin Eco Starter offers several benefits for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The primer is easy to apply with a microfiber roller or spatula and dries quickly, speeding up the entire finishing process. The product has excellent adhesion to various types of wood, ensuring that the final finish layers are more effective. Thanks to the single-component formulation, no mixing is required, further increasing ease of use. The primer is also suitable for a wide range of applications and offers high coverage. Another advantage is compatibility with Blue Dolphin Soft Balm for maintenance, ensuring that the finish remains protected and well-maintained for a long time.

Instructions for use

Before applying Blue Dolphin Eco Starter, the wood should be evenly sanded with a grit no finer than 150 and thoroughly cleaned of dust. Apply the primer evenly with a microfiber roller or spatula on a clean, dry surface. Allow the first layer to dry for at least 12 hours before lightly sanding it with grit 220 sandpaper. After this, you can apply a top coat from the Blue Dolphin range. Wear protective gloves during application and avoid contact with eyes and skin. Store the primer in a cool, ventilated place and out of reach of children and pets.

Maintenance and advice

For maintaining floors treated with Blue Dolphin Eco Starter, Blue Dolphin Soft Balm is recommended. This cleaning agent nourishes the surface and provides long-lasting protection. Before use, shake the Soft Balm well and dilute it with water in a ratio of one capful per 2 liters of water. Apply the mixture thinly and evenly with a Blue Dolphin Combi Floor Mop Set and let it dry for about 20 minutes. For extra shine, you can polish the surface with a cotton cloth after drying. Store the Blue Dolphin Eco Starter in a cool, frost-free place in the original packaging.
