Description
Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish Satin creates a medium or satin sheen, with the high level of protection the resin in our Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish provides.
Containing the highest percentage of urethane alkyd resin in our Murdoch’s line, Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish is part of our polymerized tung oil-resin hybrid system.
Paired with our Murdoch’s Hard Sealer as a primer coat, The Tung Oil in the Murdoch’s Hard Sealer will enhance the grain definition of your wood, while maintaining a timeless, beautiful natural look with the added protection of our urethane alkyd resin in the Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish.
The formulation of Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish is urethane-alkyd resin and solvent with no added Tung Oil. The cured finish is scuff and scratch resistant, and the VOC exempt solvent offers a long set-up time making application with either brush or synthetic pad very workable, especially in large areas. The absence of Tung Oil also allows for a range of sheen levels that include Matte, Satin and Gloss.
While we call the Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 a “Floor Finish” and its original formulation was intended for floors, many use this product on tables, bar tops and other high to commercial use projects for its durability and range of sheens.
The finishing process begins with application of two coats of the Murdoch’s Hard Sealer which provides beautiful grain definition and pore-filling nurturing of our Polymerized Tung Oil with the addition of a small amount of the Uralkyd-500 resin creating the strong bond to the top coats of Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish. The third and fourth coats of Murdoch’s Uralkyd 500 Floor Finish builds on the surface and provides the required protection. This product is ideal for kitchen and bathroom floors, countertops and where high traffic is anticipated.
