What is 3D-Gloss?
3D-GLOSS is a super-glossy sealer finish for vinyl, timber and stone floors. It is designed with a fast cure-rate for use in supermarkets where it buffs up easily under UHS buffing machines to provide a crystal-clear, dazzling gloss.
Key Benefits
Floors will sparkle when sealed with 3D-GLOSS.
3D-GLOSS is non-slip.
Stays shiny for longer because of its high scratch repair
Responds to both gas and electric buffing machines.
Excellent for supermarkets and other busy floors.
How Does It Work?
3D-GLOSS dries to form a colourless, tough modified acrylic, metal cross-linked film which has an outstanding gloss level and very high degree of scratch repair when burnished.
Floors coated with 3D-GLOSS achieve peak gloss after only one or two buffs and they retain their sparkle through the day because of the high abrasion resistance of the new polymer. 3D-GLOSS also offers the possibility of being buffed by gas or electric buffers due to its high burnish response. 3D-GLOSS is colourless, non-slip and mark resistant.
For Use On...
3D-GLOSS should be used on vinyl tiles, sealed timber, sealed terrazzo, sealed marble, terracotta, slate, linoleum, and brick floors.

Slip Resistance
3D- GLOSS passes the Slip Resistance Test under dry conditions as specified in AS/NZS 4586-1999. It gives a mean Dynamic Coefficient of friction of 0.70 which is well above the minimum requirement of 0.40.
Application
Remove adhesive, build-up sealer or wax and other soilage using ULTRASTRIP, TAKE-OFF or STR-36. New floors should always be stripped prior to sealing. Whilst a new floor looks clean, it is covered in a protective film added at the time of manufacture. New floor sealer will not adhere to this film, so it must be stripped.
Rinse floor, allow to dry, burnish floor then fringe mop to remove dust.
Apply 2 thin basecoats using either a fringemop or bucket mop. (Note: on floors which take heavy traffic, MASTERPIECE is recommended for vinyl tiles, and FIRST BASE for marble and terrazzo. For an extra high gloss the floor may be buffed when these first 2 coats are dry.) Next apply, 2 coats of 3D-GLOSS making a total of 4 coats.
After 1 to 7 days, apply 2 more coats of 3D-GLOSS. This film of 6 coats will provide a sound foundation for protecting the flooring and will give an excellent depth of shine.
Maintain floor by cleaning with AUTOSCRUB, SYMPOL or SCRUB „‟SHINE and dry buffing or spray buffing. Softer pads with no natural hair-fibres are preferred.
Re-coat heavy traffic areas when required. This will ensure a shiny, beautiful and long-wearing coating.
Worn films may be scrubbed off using FLORPREP at 1:20 with blue pads and may then be recoated with 3D-GLOSS after buffing and sweeping.
Do not apply any sealer to a very cold floor (9ºC or less). If application is unavoidable in very cold or humid weather, lay very thin coats one hour apart.
