Description
What Is Agar First Base?
Agar First Base is a superior polish that gives floors a clear, protective coating which shields them from the harsh effects of traffic wear, spillages and weathering. Because it is water-based, First Base is odourless, non-flammable and environmentally responsible.
Key Benefits of Agar First Base
- Clear glossy finish
- Porous surfaces sealer
- Excellent on concrete, terrazzo and timber
- Protects floors against spills and wear
- Water-based, odourless and non-flammable
- Excellent adhesion and stops surface dusting on concrete
- High resistance to UV light, suitable for interior and exterior applications
- Sets quickly, so floors return to service within hours
How Does Agar First Base Work?
Agar First Base forms a clear film of tough acrylic inside the surface of the floor. This film keeps dirt and spillages out and stops dust from rising out of concrete. First Base is an excellent base coating because it fills the porosity in the floor and provides a smooth, even base for topcoats to spread over, dramatically improving the life of the film.
How to Apply Agar First Base
Agar First Base is applied using a brush, short-nap roller, paint pad or string mop.
| Floor Type | Coats Required |
| Low-porosity floors | 1 coat |
| Porous floors | 2 coats |
Allow each coat to touch-dry before applying the next, with approximately 1 hour between coats. Floors can generally be returned to light traffic after 2-3 hours, and to heavy traffic after standing overnight (12-24 hours).
| Surface | Coverage Rate |
| Concrete | 5-30 m² per litre |
| Timber and terrazzo | 30-40 m² per litre |
What Surfaces Can Agar First Base Be Used On?
Agar First Base is a clear, non-slip polish designed for application to vinyl, timber, terrazzo, porous stone and concrete floors. Being water-based, it sets quicker than solvent-based sealers, so floors can return to service within hours. First Base is excellent in food storage areas where solvents are not permitted. First Base has a high resistance to UV light and is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, but is not suitable for outdoor timber decks exposed to the rain. It is a base-coat that is only to be used directly in contact with the bare floor surface.
