Waterbourne Finishes

Twenty years ago, almost all hardwood floor finishing was done with oil-based finishes, such as polyurethane. While oil-based finishes are extremely tough and beautiful, there are a few problems with them. First, they are not environmentally friendly. Second, when first applied, they produce a strong, resinous smell that lasts for a considerable length of time after application. In addition, they take at least 24 hours to dry, and finally, all oil-based finishes yellow with time, use, and damage. Because of these negative aspects of oil-based finishes, our sole supplier of finishes, Bonakemi, went to work on a new class of waterbourne finishes that eliminate these problems. Today, Bonakemi Waterbourne Finishes are the best in the world.

A comparison of Bonakemi and popular competitive finishes was done on test panels in the hallways at Colorado State University. These panels sustain over 400,000 footsteps a year. Bona Traffic and Bona Mega finishes had less wear-through and less scuffs and scratches than any of their major competitors. They also had the best overall appearance and outperformed all of their competitors' waterbourne, oil-modified, and moisture-cure finishes.
