The Induro XL2 Range is based on externally cross-linking, 100% polyurethane technology offering enhanced performance characteristics compared with Single Pack systems. This product range is ideal for use in areas of high traffic levels and where there is an increased risk of scuffing, spillages etc.

These products are not suitable for areas where high levels of water are present, for example bathrooms and swimming pool walkways etc.

The Induro XL2 lacquers provide extremely strong yet flexible coatings offering outstanding chemical and mechanical resistance. When used in conjunction with Induro GP or EB Seal they produce finishes with excellent clarity and woodwarming.

Induro XL ranges anti-bacterial properties offer protection against E-coli, MRSA, and other harmful organisms with a 99% kill rate within 24 hours.

The Induro XL2 Range of lacquers are suitable for use on softwood & hardwood floors for domestic and a wide range of commercial/institutional applications with high traffic levels.

• Residential Entrance area, family rooms, corridors, kitchens etc.
• Institutional Hospitals, Care Homes, Schools, Museums, Galleries etc.
• Commercial Restaurants, Offices, Retail Premises, Hotels etc.

Details/guidance on recommended finishing processes and systems are provided the Morrells Flooring Brochure.

Mix 9 parts lacquer to 1 part 8CAT/XL2 by volume. The catalyst should be added to the lacquer in the bottle, the top replaced, turned upside down and shaken vigorously for at least 1 minute. The catalysed lacquer should be allowed to stand for 5 minutes before use and should be used within 5 hours of mixing.

The catalysed lacquer should be ready for use (RFU) but can be thinned sparingly with 2% water if required. In winter months thinning to this degree is not recommended and may result in poor film formation.

For best results the application should be carried out using a Short Mohair or similar type roller. Mohair Flooring pads or T-bar applicators can also be used. Lacquer should be applied evenly making smooth passes with the roller/pad predominantly along the grain taking care to avoid ‘pooling’.

The approximate single coat coverage of the lacquer is 12 m2 per litre, this however is dependant on the method of application, porosity of the timber and type/desired finish.

These lacquers should ideally be used (lacquer & application area) at temperatures above 15oC, to prevent problems of film formation and “whitening”.

• Touch Dry: 20 - 30 minutes @ 18oC
• Sandable: 2-3 hours @ 18oC.
• Recoatable: 2-3 hours minimum @ 18oC

Induro XL2 will accept light traffic use 24hours after application.

Do not to place furniture or move furniture across the floor surface for at least 72 hours after application. Do not place mats or rugs on surface for at least 5 days after application, as this will impede final cure.

These times will be extended under conditions of low temperature and/or of high humidity.

Morrells recommends the following guidance for use of this product range:

Typical Domestic Finish:

1 coats at 130 - 150mls/m2 per coat of Induro GP or EB Seal (Dry Film Thickness ~ 42μ per coat), 2 coats at 100 - 120mls/m2 per coat of Induro XL1 Lacquer (Dry Film Thickness ~ 30 - 35μ per coat).

Typical Commercial Finish:

1 coats at 130 - 150mls/m2 per coat of Induro GP or EB Seal (Dry Film Thickness ~ 42μ per coat), 3 - 4 coats at 100 - 120mls/m2 per coat of Induro XL1 Lacquer (Dry Film Thickness ~ 30 - 35μ per coat).

Using these products in systems outside these guidelines can lead to immediate and latent problems with the integrity of the finish.

• The use of good quality entrance mats and furniture pads are recommended to avoid damage to the finish.
• Should a liquid spillage occur all excess liquid should be wiped up and removed immediately and not allowed to dwell on the surface. Similarly, spillages of hot or cold cooking oils or fats should be wiped up and removed without delay.
• Sweep or vacuum with a hard-floor attachment as often as possible. As and when required, use a lightly damped mop on the surface.

• Wet cleaning and vacuuming should be avoided until the lacquer has reached full cure – approx 7 days after application.
• Pets can also traffic grit and dirt on to a floor. Pets claws should be trimmed regularly to reduce scratches/indentation to the finish.

Refer to the induro Wooden Floor Maintenance Guide for information on cleaning and reviving.

• Do not use in areas of high humidity or condensation.
• Only Morrells standard range of LF stains are recommended under XL ranges.
• Leave adequate time between coats. Do not apply more than 3 coats in one day. Denib between coats to aid adhesion.
• Excessive coating weights can lead to cracking or lifting.
• Do not overcoat with solvent borne products.
• Avoid contact with iron, copper, zinc, aluminum and platinum as these can attack the aqueous polymer.
• Waterborne products should have nominated finishing equipment.
• When coating darker timbers, such as walnut, mahogany or teak, slight bleaching may occur.
• Product should be stored above 5oC and protected from frost.
• Optimum application is achieved between 18oC and 22oC with good air movement and ventilation.
• Finished products should not be subjected to environments with temperatures of < 2oC.
• In scope of 2004/42/EC.
