    NAPONA

    Technical Information Sheet

    Characteristics Napona (solvent free) is a very skin-friendly liquid soap made from natural raw materials. It is meant for cleaning implements (pads, brushes, rollers) after using any BIOFA solvent free product (Water- based Varnishes, Wall Emulsions). At least 99% biodegradable according to OECD tests.

    Ingredients Water, soy and cocoa fat acids, potassium hydroxide, lavender oil.

    Application For removing stubborn stains, old oil or wax layers from parquet floors. The water-Napona mixture depends on the kind of timber, the amount of dirt and the thickness of the oil or wax layer. Make a trial first (thin at least with 10 parts water for oak and beech wood in view of possible discoloration). Clean implements with a 1:1 mixture of Napona and water and rinse well.

    Directions for use Mix 1:1 with water (not for oak and beech!) and apply with a cloth. Leave for 5-20 minutes. Re-apply where mixture dries up in this time. Foaming means that oil or wax are being dissolved. Check before removing soap that dirt/wax/oil has been dissolved. Then clean and remove excess soap with water; allow the floor to dry out completely before treating further.

    Coverage A 1:10 mixture will do 40-60 m2 per litre of soap
    A 1:1 mixture will do 8-12 m2 per litre of soap.

    Storage Keep in a cool dry place and seal well. Protect from frost.

    Safety precautions Keep out of reach of children.

    Disposal Ask advice about quantities to prevent leftovers. Clean out containers and take to a recycling centre or use again.
