Sealing polished floors using a base coat

17 Apr 2023

An application of base coat to flooring ensures a seal prior to polish being applied, ideal to use on floors which are old and worn. The base cost stops subsequent coats of polish soaking into an untreated floor, reducing the number of overall coats of polish required.

03-381 - Resilience Base Coat, 250m² coverage per 5L
13-POLAP - Polish applicator

Using the applicator, apply Resilience in a thin even coat applying north-south direction.
