Bona Amber
Elevate Your Wooden Floors with Bona Amber Primer
Introducing Bona Amber Primer
Bona Amber Primer brings out the natural beauty of wooden floors with its rich, warm tone, reminiscent of traditional oil-based finishes but with the environmental benefits of a waterborne formula. Designed for seamless integration with Bona's waterborne finishes, this primer offers a low-VOC solution, making it a safer choice for both residential and commercial spaces. With its easy application and quick drying time, Bona Amber is a practical option for both professional floor experts and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a stunning wooden floor finish.
How Bona Amber Works
The Bona Amber Primer penetrates deeply into wood, creating a protective layer that enhances resistance to wear and potential damage. This primer is intended to be paired with Bona waterborne finishes to maximize its effect. At an ideal room temperature of 20°C and 60% humidity, Bona Amber dries to the touch within 1-2 hours and is ready for recoating after 4-6 hours. Note that environmental conditions can affect drying times, with warmer, drier conditions accelerating the process.

Application Instructions
For optimal results, ensure the wooden floor is properly prepared. The surface should be well acclimatized, sanded, dry, and free from dust, oil, wax, or other contaminants. Use the Bona Scrad System or sanding mesh grit P120 for the final sanding. Bring the Bona Amber to room temperature and shake well before application. Apply evenly, maintaining a wet-on-wet technique to prevent overlaps. On highly absorbent woods or special surfaces like end grain, consider using more product or applying an additional layer of Bona Prime Amberseal for enhanced color depth.
Treatment Schedule
Bona Amber should not be used as a standalone finish. After its application, follow up with a Bona finish. The typical treatment schedule involves a first coat of Bona Amber, followed by intermediate sanding with a Scrad Pad + Wing 150 or sanding net K150. A second coat is applied after 4-6 hours of drying. If recoating the next day, lightly sand the floor first. Finally, apply one or two coats of Bona finish based on the desired appearance and durability. Maintain the floor with Bona maintenance products for lasting beauty.
Best Applications
Bona Amber is best suited for interior wooden floors and other wooden surfaces that require a natural, warm finish. Its suitability for high-traffic areas makes it ideal for both residential and commercial use.
Safety and Precautions
Ensure proper ventilation during application and drying. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Bona Amber is a non-hazardous product, contributing to a safer working environment.
