Bona White Primer: Water-based Primer for a Whitewash Appearance

What is Bona White Primer?

Bona White Primer is a pigmented, water-based primer specifically designed to give untreated wooden floors a Scandinavian whitewash appearance. This primer provides a bright, even white finish without the use of paint or harsh bleaching agents. Bona White is ideal for light to medium-colored wood species and offers excellent leveling and pigment distribution. The intensity of the white color depends on the type of wood and the number of layers applied. For optimal results, Bona White Primer can be combined with an extra matte or ultra-matte wood floor finish, such as Bona Traffic HD, Bona Traffic GO, or Bona Mega EVO.

Benefits and Features

Bona White offers several advantages for floor installers and homeowners looking for a durable, aesthetic finish. The primer has very low VOC emissions (less than 3%) and is EC1PLUS certified for minimal impact on indoor air quality. The primer dries quickly and has good resistance to tannins in wood. For even better protection against tannin bleed-through, 5% Bona Blocker can be added. Bona White is easy to apply with a roller and provides a beautiful whitewash finish that accentuates wood grains and gives a modern look to your interior.

Instructions for Use

Before using Bona White, ensure that the wooden floor is well sanded, dry, and free of dust and contaminants. The primer should be applied with a Bona Microfleece or Microfiber Roller in the direction of the wood grain. At higher temperatures and low humidity, the primer dries faster; at low temperatures and high humidity, the drying time may be longer. Lightly sand the floor after each layer with fine sandpaper to remove raised wood fibers and minimize color variations. To maintain the white appearance, it is recommended to finish Bona White with an extra matte or ultra-matte finish.

Maintenance and Advice

Bona White should not be used as a final coat; a protective finish must always be applied over it. For optimal results, it is important to clean the floor regularly with a pH-neutral floor cleaner like Bona Cleaner. Ensure that any spills are immediately removed to prevent stains. Although Bona White helps maintain a whitewash appearance, natural wood can still discolor due to UV light or exposure to oils and tannins in the wood. For long-lasting protection, it is recommended to regularly inspect the finish layer and reapply as needed.
