The big advantage is that you have much less waste and loss, because you don't have to throw away any of the mixed product and you can use the mixed product for 72 hours. You can also reuse the rollers, brushes, trays and plastic containers. Our advice is to cover and/or close used products.
The isocyanate-free hardener:
- will only "harden" when the water has evaporated, this is after bout 3 to 4 hours.
- the viscosity of the mixed product increases over time, you can see that a reaction is taking place.
- the used of a hardener improves the resistances.
The mixed product should be stored with the cap on. This is in contrast to a hardener with isocyanate, the cap must be removed because isocyanate reacts with water and pressure is built up if the packaging remains closed. Because the new hardener does not contain isocyanate, no pressure is built up and the bottle/can can be closed.
No, you can simply polish 3 to 4 hours after applying the lacquer.
Yes, the product dries but is less resistant than the 2K.
Yes, think of the SKYLT Recoatable Colour Oil. If the customer wants to add an ultra matt/matt/satin/gloss level to it, this can be done by applying the STEP Parquet Lacquer (over the SKYLT layer then).
Yes, it just has no added value. The hardener is precisely adjusted to the amount of product. Adding more hardener does not make the floor "harder".
Yes, use 120p grit sandpaper before the final coat.
The coat of lacquer was unable to flow properly. This may be the result of overly quick drying. This can be caused by: a lacquer coat that was applied too thinly or external factors like an overly warm floor. To remove the streaks, the entire floor will have to be sanded and lacquered again with sufficiently thick coats and the right drying conditions. For the correct method, please refer to the STEP Manual.
You can polish the floor and apply a new coat of lacquer with the desired finish.
If the floor is cleaned with normal soap or a multi-purpose detergent, residues may be left behind on the floor. These residues may cause a glossy effect. We recommend cleaning the floor with STEP Mild Cleaner.
Our STEP 2K products are highly suitable for floors in spaces with a commercial or project-related purpose. On top of that, STEP 2K products are the most suitable solution for surfaces that are in frequent contact with skin thanks to their high grease resistance. This includes bannisters, for example. For applications in houses, STEP 1K is the right solution.
The hardener has a limited shelf life after opening. The hardener reacts to moisture: squeeze the air ouf the pouche well.
This can be done for a couple hours. It is strongly advised not to leave it longer. The lacquer needs oxygen to harden properly. If the floor is covered and shows damages, it can be polished and re-lacquered.
