Zero VOC by Vermeister

Vermeister Zero VOC is as protective waterborne finish that is completely solvent-free. Zero VOC can be used both as a single component or as a two component finish after adding Zero VOC Boost.

Produced with renewable raw materials, Zero VOC is ideal for green building and when applied directly on the wood it leaves the shade unaltered and provides a very natural effect.

Zero VOC is the first specific product for wood flooring to join the "Super-Compliant Coating Manufacturers".

Directions for use

Application

Sand and fill the floor using a 120/150 grit to finish. For the filling Vermeister Zero Filler can be used. It is very important to apply a first, even and abundant coat of Zero VOC (about 100/110 g/sq. m.) with a roller or a brush. On rough wood, a smaller quantity than that recommended should be applied when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low; with the natural absorption of the finish by the wood, greater coverage may be visible in correspondence with the lapmarks.

According to environmental conditions, after about 3 hours, sand with a fine grain (180/220) and remove all the residue dust.

Apply the finishing coat in the same way as described previously. For those places subject to heavy traffic (shops, offices, living rooms) we recommend use of the cross-linking agent Zero VOC Boost in quantities of 7% also in the first coat as it greatly improves resistance to abrasion and to staining.

Notes

A “fresh on fresh” application is not recommended.
The addition of Zero VOC Boost prolongs the drying time of the finish: Follow the ratios for use (max 7%).
The application of the product on solvent based primers and finishes could cause separation.
The floor is ready for traffic after 36/48 hours.
Do not apply the product under 10°C or over 30°C.
Stir well before use
Store above freezing.
If the product is used on exotic and/or little known woods, it is always advisable to carry out some preliminary tests as in some cases (e.g. on IPE LAPACHO) the application of waterborne products may cause a considerable reddening of the film.
