Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K: Durable Protection for Cork Floors
What is Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K?
Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K is a water-based, one-component polyurethane lacquer specifically developed to protect cork floors that are heavily used. This lacquer is suitable for both white and colored cork, providing a durable, satin-gloss finish that preserves the natural appearance of the cork. Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K dries clear and transparent without yellowing, ensuring long-lasting protection for the floor. It is ideal for use in homes, offices, and other commercial environments where cork is used as a flooring material.
How does Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K work?
Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K works by forming a protective layer that shields the cork floor from wear, scratches, and liquids. This lacquer is easy to apply with a roller or brush and has a fast drying time: within one hour it is dust-dry and can be recoated after 3 to 4 hours. The floor can be lightly loaded after 12 hours and fully loaded after 3 days. Thanks to its water-based formula, the lacquer is more environmentally friendly and suitable for indoor spaces with high air quality requirements, as indicated by the certifications from AgBB/DiBt (Germany), Royal Decree (Belgium), and Emission class A+ (France).
Benefits and Features
Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K offers several advantages for protecting cork floors. The lacquer has excellent scratch and abrasion resistance and is resistant to daily wear from use, such as sand under shoes and moving furniture. Additionally, the lacquer has good chemical resistance to water, alcohol, and cleaning agents, as well as good stain resistance to liquids such as coffee, wine, and tea. The satin-gloss finish provides a subtle sheen that highlights the natural look of the cork without overpowering it.
Instructions for Use
Before use, Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K should be well shaken. Ensure that the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust. Apply the lacquer evenly with a roller or brush and ensure good ventilation during drying. The lacquer is dust-dry after one hour and recoatable after 3 to 4 hours. After 12 hours, the floor can be lightly loaded, but avoid covering the floor with foil or carpets until the full drying time of 3 days has passed. For the best results, always test on a small area on unknown substrates first.
Maintenance or Advice
To maintain the protective properties of Rigo STEP Cork Lacquer 1K, regular maintenance is essential. Clean the treated floor with a soft, damp mop and use a mild cleaner suitable for water-based lacquers. Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives that could damage the lacquer layer. For long-lasting protection, it is recommended to place felt gliders under furniture and use floor mats at entrances to reduce wear from dirt. Refer to the safety data sheet for more details on safe use and storage.
