Description
Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip is a professional-grade, two-component, water-based polyurethane lacquer designed to provide exceptional durability and enhanced slip resistance on wooden floors. Formulated for areas where there is an increased risk of slipping or spillages, it offers a tough, hard-wearing protective finish for busy commercial and domestic environments.
Combining the outstanding durability of Bona Traffic HD with enhanced slip-resistant properties, it is particularly suitable for shopping centres, public buildings, schools, communal areas, wooden staircases and other high-traffic spaces. Its excellent flow and levelling properties help achieve a smooth, consistent finish, while the clear, non-yellowing matt appearance preserves the natural look of the wood.

Preparation
Ensure floors are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, grit, oil, wax, polish and other surface contaminants before application.
Previously varnished floors: Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip generally offers good adhesion to pre-varnished flooring. However, an intercoat adhesion test is recommended before overcoating. Apply the lacquer to a suitably prepared test area, allow it to cure for three days, then gently scratch the surface with a coin. If the coating remains firmly attached, adhesion is satisfactory.
Waxed, oiled or polished floors: These surfaces cannot be overcoated directly. Fully sand back to bare wood using at least 120-grit abrasive before priming with a suitable wood primer.
Bare wooden floors: For freshly sanded floors, use a suitable Bona wood primer to support adhesion and help achieve the desired final appearance.
Always carry out a test area before starting the main application.
Directions for Use
Mixing the hardener

- Work in a smooth, flowing motion, avoiding excessive product build-up
- Maintain a wet edge throughout application to minimise overlap marks

Application conditions
- Recommended temperature: 18–25°C
- Recommended relative humidity: 30–60%
- Minimum application temperature: 13°C
- Drying times may vary depending on temperature, humidity and ventilation
Drying Times
- Between coats: Approximately 2–3 hours
- Light foot traffic: Approximately 8 hours after the final coat
- Full use: Approximately 12 hours after the final coat
- Before covering with carpets or rugs: Allow at least 3 days for curing
Drying times are based on normal conditions of approximately 20°C and 60% relative humidity.
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Regularly dry sweep or vacuum to remove grit, dirt and small particles that could scratch the finish
- Avoid saturating the floor with water
- Do not use ordinary household detergents or unsuitable cleaning products
- Use suitable Bona pH-balanced wood floor cleaners for routine maintenance
- Wipe up water and other liquid spillages promptly
- Fit protective felt pads to furniture and chair legs
- Avoid covering the floor during the first three days after application
Important: Bona maintenance products and polishes should not be used on floors treated with Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip, as they may affect the slip-resistant properties of the finish. For ongoing protection, the floor can be maintained with additional coats of Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
