Overview
Bona Traffic HD Raw is one of the world's toughest and fastest drying lacquers for wooden floors exposed to extreme wear, allowing full traffic to be resumed in just 24 hours. Widely used in hotels, restaurants and airports, where maximum durability and a short downtime is essential. It is also recommended for use in schools and nurseries due to its very low indoor emissions.
- Looking for exceptional durability with an anti-slip finish? Use Bona Traffic HD Anti Slip
- Require a durable, single-part varnish for domestic environments? Consider Bona Mega Varnish
Preparation
Ensure the project area is well sanded, free of dust, debris and any oil or wax.
- The floor needs to be clean and dry from the use of cleaning products, such as Bona Cleaner Concentrate
- If extra strength cleaning is required then the Bona Premium Microfiber Floor Mop is a suitable choice
- Bona Traffic HD Raw needs to be applied at room temperature
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times. To mix smaller quantities of lacquer and hardener, mix the required amounts using the Bona Traffic Mix Bottle
Optimal application conditions are between 18-25° and 30-60% relative air humidity. High or low temperatures and humidity may shorten or lengthen the drying time. Minimum temperature for use is 13°.
Where a longer drying time is required due to high temperature and/or low humidity, Bona Retarder can be added to the varnish to increase the 'open time' of the product.
Mixing in the Hardener
- Add appropriate mix of hardener to the lacquer. If only using part of the 5 litres, then consider using the Bona Mix and Fill
- Immediately shake for a minimum of 1 minute
- Insert the enclosed filter ready for pouring
- The mixture of hardener and lacquer should be used directly or at least within 3 hours of mixing
Suitable Bona Applicators
| Product | Description |
| Bona Applicator Sleeve | 46cm applicator sleeve that is used in conjunction with the Bona Swivel Head Applicator, a specialist floor applicator for professional floor finishers. |
| Bona Lacquer Roller | A synthetic, medium pile roller for the application of Bona varnishes and used in conjunction with the Bona Roller Handle |
Application Technique
- Apply the lacquer using a suitable Bona applicator, as seen above
- Apply with a smooth flowing action, avoiding build up
- Always maintain a "wet edge" to avoid any overlaps
- Allow 2 - 3 hours between sanding/denibbing or re-coating
- Slightly increase drying time after each coat
- Apply a further coat in the same manner
- If necessary, lightly sand or denib using a fine grade sandpaper before the final coat. This is needed if a previous coat has been allowed longer than 24 hours to dry
Take reasonable precautions with the finish during the first few days after application:
- Do not cover (use protective sheets) or lay carpets onto the treated area during the first 7 days following application
- Appropriate protective measures (i.e. felt pads) should be taken for table and chair legs or other objects which could mark the floor
- Immediately wipe up any water or other liquid spillages and take particular care with flower pots
Floors treated with Bona Traffic HD Raw can be subjected to light foot traffic in 24 hours after final application and allow 7 days for the product to fully cure before laying carpets, rugs and moving furniture.
Aftercare
Regular Cleaning
Lacquered floors should be dry swept or vacuumed on a regular basis to remove surface particles of grit, dirt and small stones that could scratch or mark the surface. Wooden floors should never be saturated with water or cleaned with household detergents or cleaners, as part of a regular cleaning routine, as these could significantly reduce longevity and performance of the floor varnish.
For more thorough cleaning and to remove surface scuffs and other marks, Bona have a range of pH-balanced floor cleaners and mops for the job. For regular cleaning the pre-mixed, ready-to-go formulas provide a quick solution whilst the concentrated products are good for scale of economy and deeper cleaning requirements.

F.A.Q.
With the Raw being a very flat matt, is there anything I can put on top to get a better sheen level?
Bona Traffic HD Raw has a very low, 4% sheen level. Bona have said that if you wanted a higher sheen level after using the Raw, you can lightly sand so it provides a key and go over it with Bona Traffic HD in Silk Matt. If you were looking for a high gloss solution, you could use the Bona Freshen Up
