REGULAR


The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that both of the problems I have detailed as examples in this article relate specifically to spirit based seals. I have to admit that outside of local authority education where there are periods of time like the summer holidays, during which intensive and lengthy processes can be undertaken, the popularity of spirit based seals is on the wane. The primary reason for this being that water based seals are so much more practical in terms of their performance characteristics. For example some spirit based seals require a six to eight hour drying period between coats, with a further 48 hours curing time before the floor can be heavily trafficked. By contrast our water based polyurethane seal, Rapid Plus, only requires an hour’s drying time between coats and a further eight-hour curing time. When you add in factors such as the reduced COSHH implications because you are dealing with water as the carrier for seal as opposed to white spirit and the fact that you do not need to further clean the floor before applying emulsion polish, it’s easy to see why customers are attracted to the newer, water based technology.


In my humble opinion, the best treatment package for a new or previously un- waxed wooden floor is as follows:


Rapid Plus Seal – to protect the wood


Platinum 25 Emulsion Polish – to protect the seal


Clean & Buff – to clean and maintain the polish


Premstrip – to periodically remove the polish www.premiereproducts.co.uk
