Developed for professional flooring contractors and demanding residential applications, Ecostar 2K combines advanced polyurethane technology with excellent ease of application, making it one of the most reliable finishes for hardwood floors exposed to heavy daily use.

Whether you're finishing a newly installed timber floor, restoring an existing hardwood floor or protecting commercial flooring in high-traffic environments, Chimiver Ecostar 2K delivers long-lasting performance while preserving the natural beauty of the wood. Available in a range of sheen levels, it creates a durable protective coating that resists scratches, scuff marks, chemicals and everyday wear, making it suitable for everything from family homes to busy commercial premises.

Designed for Heavy Commercial and Residential Traffic

Not all floor lacquers are designed to withstand constant foot traffic. Chimiver Ecostar 2K has been specifically formulated for floors subjected to intensive daily use, providing a tough, durable finish that maintains its appearance even in demanding environments.

Ideal for:

* Offices
* Restaurants
* Hotels
* Schools
* Retail stores
* Gyms
* Reception areas
* Public buildings
* High-traffic residential homes
* Hallways and living areas

Its high abrasion resistance helps protect wooden floors from the wear associated with frequent foot traffic, furniture movement and everyday use.

Exceptional Scratch and Scuff Resistance

Wooden floors can quickly lose their appearance if they become scratched or marked. Chimiver Ecostar 2K provides outstanding resistance against:

* Scratches
* Scuff marks
* Black heel marks
* Abrasion
* Everyday wear

Its advanced polyurethane formulation forms a hard-wearing protective layer that helps preserve the appearance of the timber while reducing maintenance requirements over time.

This makes it particularly suitable for commercial environments where floor appearance is essential and repairs can be costly.

## High Solid Content for Superior Protection

One of the key advantages of Ecostar 2K is its **high solids content**, which creates a stronger, more durable protective film compared with many conventional water-based lacquers.

Benefits include:

* Increased durability
* Better surface protection
* Excellent build per coat
* Long-lasting performance
* Professional-quality finish

The lacquer also offers excellent pore wetting, even on brushed wood flooring, helping to produce a smooth and consistent finish across the entire surface.

Beautiful Natural Appearance

While durability is essential, appearance is equally important.

Chimiver Ecostar 2K enhances the natural beauty of timber by providing a warm, attractive finish that highlights the grain and texture of the wood without excessive yellowing.

Available in several sheen levels, including:

* Super Matt
* Matt
* Semi-Gloss
* Gloss

This allows you to achieve the exact look required, from a subtle contemporary matt finish to a more traditional glossy appearance. The non-yellowing water-based formula helps the floor retain its attractive appearance over time.

Fast Drying for Efficient Projects

Time is important on every flooring project.

Chimiver Ecostar 2K dries rapidly under normal conditions, allowing projects to progress quickly without compromising quality.

Typical drying characteristics include:

* Dust dry in approximately 30 minutes
* Touch dry in approximately 2 hours
* Recoat after approximately 4 hours without sanding
* Sand after approximately 24 hours if required

Fast drying reduces downtime and enables flooring contractors to complete projects more efficiently while minimising disruption to homeowners and businesses. Drying times may vary depending on site conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

Busy commercial environments require finishes that can withstand more than just foot traffic.

Ecostar 2K offers excellent resistance to:

* Household cleaning products
* Cold liquids
* Everyday spillages
* General household chemicals

It has been tested to recognised European standards for resistance to cold liquids and chemical agents, making it suitable for demanding environments where accidental spills are common.

Suitable for a Wide Variety of Wooden Floors

Chimiver Ecostar 2K is suitable for most timber flooring installations, including:

* Solid hardwood flooring
* Engineered wood flooring
* Oak floors
* Pine flooring
* Beech
* Ash
* Maple
* Brushed timber flooring
* Residential timber floors
* Commercial wood flooring

It can also be applied over suitable water-based primers and compatible wood stains, allowing contractors to customise the appearance while benefiting from exceptional protection. Preliminary testing is recommended on tannin-rich wood species such as oak or exotic timbers.

Professional Two-Component Performance

Ecostar 2K is supplied as a two-component system consisting of lacquer and hardener.

The components are mixed in a **10:1 ratio**, producing a highly durable polyurethane coating with exceptional mechanical performance.

Advantages of the two-component system include:

* Greater durability
* Higher scratch resistance
* Improved chemical resistance
* Longer service life
* Professional-quality results

Once mixed, the product has a working pot life of approximately two hours, allowing ample time for application while ensuring optimal curing performance.

Easy Professional Application

Despite its professional performance, Chimiver Ecostar 2K is straightforward to apply using standard floor finishing equipment.

For best results:

1. Sand the timber to a smooth finish.
2. Remove all dust and contaminants.
3. Apply a suitable primer if required.
4. Mix the lacquer and hardener thoroughly in the recommended 10:1 ratio.
5. Apply evenly using an 8mm microfibre roller or quality brush.
6. Maintain a wet edge and apply along the direction of the wood grain.
7. Apply additional coats following the recommended drying times.

In warm conditions or when coating large areas, a compatible retarder may be added if recommended by the manufacturer to improve workability.

Excellent Coverage

Chimiver Ecostar 2K provides economical coverage, making it an excellent choice for projects of all sizes.

Typical application rate:

* Approximately **80–100g/m² per coat**, equivalent to roughly **10–12m² per litre**, depending on the timber species, surface preparation and application method.

This efficient coverage helps reduce material costs while delivering excellent protection and a consistent finish.

Modern flooring professionals increasingly seek products that deliver high performance with reduced environmental impact.

Chimiver Ecostar 2K features:

* Water-based technology
* Low odour
