Hemel Ultramat

Tips

During the application, the application method and quantities specified in the Technical Data Sheet of the product must be followed.

The parquet surface should be scrubbed with 40-60-120 grit sandpaper, respectively, with a scraper machine.

The edges that you cannot reach with the scraper machine should be sanded with an edge sander.

Sanding marks on the surface should be removed by using 120 grit sandpaper with vibratory sandpaper.

If you are going to apply with a roller, pour the amount of product you will use into a container that your roller can fit. Make sure the container is dry and clean.

You can adjust the amount of hardener you will use by looking at the measurement part on the package.

Do not mix too quickly; Gradually add the hardener while mixing.

When you have finished adding the hardener, stop mixing and let the polish rest for 10 minutes before applying.

Start the application with a brush from the edges.

Do not scan too much to leave enough product on the surface while applying.

After the application is completed, the drying time is 24 hours. You can press the surface after 24 hours. 7 days should wait for carpet laying or cleaning.

The brush or roller to be used in the application must be saturated with the product before starting the application. After this process, the excess product remaining on the roller or brush should be removed by rubbing the edge of the package or using a suitable apparatus. Thus, in the first applications, an equal and sufficient amount of polish will be applied to the surface.

Since the absorbency of wood is high in the first coat of polish application, a minimum of 85-100 grams of the product should be applied per square meter to prevent possible roller and brush marks. Also while applying the first coat; it is important to apply the polish on the parquet surface first transversely, then longitudinally, without combing too much, to apply an even and sufficient amount of polish to the surface.

Since HEMEL Ultramat is very matt, it offers the opportunity to perform local care. The surface in need of maintenance should be sanded with 180-220 grit sandpaper and then 1 coat application should be made as specified in the application instructions.

The product is ready to use. In very hot weather, 2-3% drinking water is used to facilitate the application of the product and to extend the drying and spreading time.

can be thinned. If the product is to be used with the hardener, adding water for thinning should be done after the mixture with the hardener is prepared.
