Trae Lyx Floor Lacquer Matt Lacquer

Trae-Lyx Floor Varnish is a water-based, fast-drying, single-component varnish based on a polyurethane dispersion. The varnish is virtually odourless. The fully cured layer is highly resistant to wear and impact, non-yellowing, permanently flexible and resistant to common household chemicals. Trae-Lyx Floor Varnish has very good resistance to point loading.
