Minwax 131030000 Water Based Satin Floor Finish Gallon

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 131030000 is a crystal clear, water-based satin floor finish designed for residential hardwood and engineered wood floor applications. It uses self cross-linking technology to deliver a durable, low-odor topcoat that flows and levels evenly during application. Re-coat time is 2 hours, allowing most projects to be completed in a single day without sanding between coats. The finish cleans up with soap and water, reducing solvent handling on the job site. Licensed flooring contractors and experienced DIYers working on interior wood floor finishing projects are the primary installers.

This finish is suited for interior wood floor surfaces where a clear, satin sheen is specified. Its fast re-coat window and no-sanding-between-coats formulation make it practical for multi-coat applications on residential flooring projects. The low-odor, water-based chemistry allows work in occupied or semi-occupied spaces with adequate ventilation. The product is sold in a 1-gallon container, with a package quantity of 2 units per case.
