Bona Classic UX

Bona Classic UX is a non-yellowing water-based primer that produces a light wood colouration and retains the natural appearance of the wood meaning it is the ideal primer to use with Bona Traffic HD Raw and other Bona extra matt / matt finishes. Bona Classic UX is easy to apply and quick to dry with an excellent filling ability bringing an even finish film. It is classified as EC1Plus meaning very low indoor air emissions.
