Product Information
Full details
Ciranova Ecofix Plus is an ideal solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect parquet flooring and wooden furniture while maintaining a natural, raw aesthetic. As a 35% bio-based, water-based polyurethane impregnating oil, it excels at providing an invisible, ultra-matt finish that resists yellowing over time. While it offers excellent durability and anti-slip properties, users should be aware that it requires careful surface preparation to ensure even absorption and optimal adhesion on different wood species.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the wooden surface is sanded to a smooth finish and free of all debris, oils, or previous sealants. The product is ready to use but should be stirred well before application to ensure the bio-based components are properly distributed. Apply using a professional-grade roller or applicator suited for water-based finishes. For routine maintenance, simply use a damp, microfiber mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may strip the protective properties of the finish.
