Our lacquer production craftsmen looked for a way to retain the untreated appearance of substrates. The result of their quest is SKYLT. With SKYLT, wood stays purely wood.
To protect, preserve and enhance the natural appearance of SKYLT Original, we developed an optional finishing topcoat: SKYLT Extra #5300 Topcoat 2K. SKYLT Extra prevents gloss streaks, makes surfaces suitable for intensive use and is completely invisible. SKYLT, for those who love pure wood.

Just like with SKYLT Primer #5020, the SKYLT Extra #5300 Topcoat 2K does not achieve a robust adhesion on SKYLT Recoatable Colour Oil 2K #505x. Therefore, only use SKYLT Original #5510 or SKYLT Titanium #5550 as the first layer over the recoatable colour oil. Then, finishing with SKYLT Extra #5300 Topcoat 2K is of course no problem and is even recommended in some situations.
Gloss disturbances can occur when a thin film has formed on top of the varnish layer due to dirt adhesion and the build-up of residue. When viewed against the light, this becomes visible as variations in gloss. This is a maintenance issue that can be prevented and rectified by wet cleaning carried out correctly and using the appropriate cleaning products.
These gloss disturbances should not be confused with gloss marks. The latter refer to a dull scratch in the top layer of the varnish layer. This constitutes permanent damage to the matt finish. Such marks cannot be removed by wet cleaning. This can be rectified by applying a new coat of SKYLT Polish or a new layer of varnish.
Due to the natural look and feel of SKYLT Original #5510 and SKYLT Extra #5300 Topcoat 2K, it will feel less slippery than, for example, a floor with more shine. Just like a brushed surface, it is therefore slightly more sensitive to dirt pickup and residue build-up.
This can be prevented very easily by using SKYLT Conditioner #9140. This is a residue-free cleaner that, unlike many other cleaning products, does not leave a greasy layer of maintenance product on the floor.
In combination with a correct mopping method, residue build-up will be prevented.
Did it nevertheless somewhat appear? Then occasionally mop with SKYLT Intensive Cleaner #9200 to remove the built-up dirt deposits.
When mopping correctly, dirt is removed from the floor using a slightly damp mop, rather than – as is often the case – being dissolved in water and then smeared thinly across the floor.
o Use two buckets, one with soapy water and the other with clean water, and a clean mop
o Then, work your way across the floor, lightly dampening one section at a time
o Leave it to soak in for a moment
o Wet a slightly larger area and, where necessary, scrub with light pressure
o Then, using a back-and-forth motion, pick up the dirt from the floor.
o Rinse the mop in the bucket of rinse water.
Want to clean it extra thoroughly? Then give it a final wipe with clean water.
Change the rinse water regularly. At the very least, if too much soapy water gets in or if it has become too dirty.
