Suitable for high traffic commercial areas. Suitable for wood floors. Can be used to recoat finished wood floors. Full use of the floor is possible immediately after the curing process. No waiting time.
Recommended conditions are 55°F-80°F/40-75%rH.
Sand and prepare floors according to NWFA guidelines.
ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY, APPEARANCE, AND DESIRED RESULTS.
Shake material well before use.
Do not thin. Do not add water.
Do not apply at temperatures below 55°F (13°C). Make sure material is at room temperature. Always maintain adequate ventilation during all phases of the coating and drying process.
Apply evenly at the recommended coverage rate. Avoid streaks, puddles, and lap marks.
The UV-curing process is carried out with an UV-curing unit, with a capacity of approx. 3000watt/ozone-free. In order to achieve a full curing a light intensity of at least 300mJ/cm² has to be achieved. For example with the DecoRad® Floormate. At a speed of 8m/min (08.0 on Display).
Rush reacts when exposed to light. The container has to be closed immediately after use.
Before the operation of the UV-curing unit all safety instructions from the machine manufacturer must be observed. The working area has to be marked visibly for everyone and should be sectioned off.
The use of specific safety goggles or safety visors is required; UV-light can cause vision damage.

Recommended Procedure for re-coating of wood floors
Always perform the “cross Hatch” test and the “cointest” test for adhesion on a test area of existing finish prior to full scale application.
Application
Remove all wax, oil, grease and dirt by deep cleaning the floor with LOBA Remover (follow instructions on the Technical Data Sheet of Remover)
Perform intermediate sanding with LOBASAND perforated pad 180 (or equivalent). Vacuum floor then tack using a LOBA Mop and a new/clean LOBA microfiber mop pad lightly dampened with water to remove all dust.
Apply Rush
Let dry 3 hours
Light-cure with a UV-curing unit @ 300mJ/cm²
Check
Check following features on the test area during and after the application
Most important test the adhesion immediately after UV-curing by performing a coin test and cross hatch test. See pictures below.
ASTM Adhesion TEST
Make sure the surface looks ok. No disturbances and even gloss level.
If the tests performed are positive apply procedure as described above full scale:
Always refer to the Technical Data Sheets for all of the mentioned products.

General Guidelines
Cleaning of tools: Clean tools and equipment with water.
Cure Time: The stated drying and cure times are based on ideal conditions (68°F, 50% rH) at the recommended application rates. Insufficient ventilation, high humidity, lower temperatures, increased coat thickness can prolong the curing process considerably. The floor has reached its final durability immediately after UV curing, carpets and rugs can be replaced, safety covers, rugs, and furniture can be placed immediately after the UV-curing process.
Floor Care: Clean floor with wet cloth or Loba Mop only after UV-curing. We recommend the use of Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Put walk-off mats at all entrance doorways to minimize dirt and grit. Sweep or vacuum daily and damp-wipe with Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Use felt pads under furniture legs and appliances. Place furniture and other heavy appliances carefully.
Plasticizer containing materials: Plasticizer containing materials e.g. carpet padding, furniture padding, chair casters, elastic adhesives etc. could lead to softening and discoloration of the finish.
Use with or without a primer: Some finishes can be used without a primer. The use of a primer increases application reliability and decreases risk of application marks on most wood types. Further details can be found in the LOBA wood type suitability list in the current catalog.
Side bonding: Water-based coating systems can show a tendency for side bonding. Several measures can be taken to minimize the formation of irregular joints and the associated locking effect. The use of shear-resistant or firm elastic adhesive to adhere the hardwood flooring, careful filling of the joints, use of suitable LOBA primers, and maintaining a consistent climate are some of these steps. (Education of the customer is recommended). The risk of side bonding is greater with old floors with damaged, weak, or very flexible adhesives and wood flooring installed over underfloor heating, and less stable woods such as beech and maple.
Safety Precautions: Even when working with low or zero-emission products the usual safety measures must be taken. Keep away from children. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in working areas. Wear suitable safety gloves. Clean product off of hands. Change soiled clothes.
First Aid: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call for medical help immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If breathing is difficult or other respiratory complaints, remove to fresh air and get medical attention. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes for several minutes under running water. Generally, this product does not cause skin irritation. Call a physician if irritation occurs.
