# Bona Traffic HD Raw – Ultra-Matt Water-Based Lacquer for a Natural Wood Finish

Give your wooden floors the protection they need without losing their beautiful, natural appearance with **Bona Traffic HD Raw**. This premium two-component water-based floor lacquer is specially designed for customers who want the authentic look and feel of untreated timber while still benefiting from the durability of a professional high-traffic floor finish.

Traditional lacquers can sometimes add a noticeable sheen to wooden flooring, changing the appearance of the timber and creating a more polished or artificial look. Bona Traffic HD Raw takes a different approach. Its ultra-matt finish is designed to be exceptionally subtle, helping preserve the natural colour, grain and texture of the wood while providing a tough protective coating.

The result is a floor that looks almost untreated but has the strength and protection of a high-performance lacquer.

## Ultra-Matt Natural Appearance

One of the biggest advantages of Bona Traffic HD Raw is its **ultra-matt appearance**. With an extremely low level of sheen, the finish is designed to remain consistently matt from different viewing angles.

This is ideal for modern interiors where a natural, understated wooden floor is preferred. Instead of creating a glossy surface that reflects light, Bona Traffic HD Raw allows the timber itself to remain the main feature.

The result is particularly effective with natural oak, engineered wood, parquet and other attractive timber floors where preserving the authentic character of the wood is important.

The ultra-matt appearance can also help create the popular Scandinavian-style flooring look, providing a clean and contemporary finish that works well with both traditional and modern interiors.

## The Look and Feel of Raw Wood

Bona Traffic HD Raw is designed to provide more than just a natural appearance. It also aims to maintain the **look and feel of raw wood**.

The finish follows the natural texture and grain of the timber, helping create a surface that feels less like a heavily coated floor. This can be particularly noticeable when walking across the floor barefoot.

For homeowners and designers who love the appearance of untreated timber but want the easier maintenance and protection of a lacquered surface, this provides an excellent compromise.

You can achieve the visual character of a raw wooden floor without leaving the timber completely unprotected.

## High-Traffic Protection

Despite its subtle appearance, Bona Traffic HD Raw is far from a delicate finish. It belongs to the Bona Traffic HD family of high-performance floor lacquers and is designed to provide **excellent protection in high-traffic environments**.

Wooden floors in busy homes, offices, shops, restaurants and other commercial spaces can experience considerable wear. Foot traffic, dirt, furniture movement and regular cleaning can all affect the surface over time.

Bona Traffic HD Raw provides a durable protective layer designed to help the timber withstand these everyday demands.

This makes it suitable for customers who do not want to compromise between appearance and performance.

## Excellent Wear and Scuff Resistance

Busy floors can quickly develop visible marks, particularly in entrances, corridors and other high-use areas. Bona Traffic HD Raw is designed to provide strong resistance to **wear and scuffing**, helping maintain the appearance of the finished floor.

The protective coating helps reduce the impact of everyday activity, allowing the timber to remain looking attractive for longer when properly maintained.

This makes the product suitable for both domestic and commercial flooring projects where durability is a priority.

It is particularly useful where the customer wants an ultra-matt appearance but still needs a finish capable of handling substantial daily traffic.

## Strong Chemical Resistance

Floors in commercial environments may come into contact with a variety of cleaning products and substances. Bona Traffic HD Raw offers strong **chemical resistance** once fully cured, helping protect the lacquer from the effects of everyday cleaning and exposure.

This is particularly useful in offices, shops, hospitality environments and other areas where regular cleaning is essential.

As always, compatible floor cleaning products should be used as part of the ongoing maintenance programme. Avoid unsuitable chemicals or excessive moisture, as these can affect the performance and appearance of any wooden floor finish.

## Natural Anti-Slip Properties

Bona Traffic HD Raw also offers **natural anti-slip properties**, making it a practical option for areas where maintaining good underfoot grip is important.

This can be particularly beneficial in busy homes, offices, retail spaces and other commercial environments.

The natural texture of the ultra-matt finish helps provide a more authentic wooden surface rather than creating a highly polished, slippery-looking appearance.

Good cleaning and maintenance remain important, particularly in areas where moisture or spills may occur.

## Two-Component Water-Based Formula

Bona Traffic HD Raw is a **two-component waterborne polyurethane coating**. The lacquer is supplied with a separate hardener, which must be mixed with the lacquer before application.

The two-component system provides the high level of durability required for demanding flooring environments. Once correctly mixed and applied, it creates a tough protective surface over the timber.

The water-based formulation is also designed to provide a low-odour application experience compared with traditional solvent-heavy floor finishes.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing, application, ventilation and drying to achieve the best possible results.

## Fast Recoating

Another major advantage for professional flooring contractors is the product's relatively fast drying time. Under suitable conditions, Bona Traffic HD Raw can generally be **recoated after approximately 2–3 hours**.

This allows flooring projects to progress efficiently and can help reduce the amount of time a room or commercial area needs to remain out of use.

Actual drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, ventilation, application rate and the condition of the floor, so these factors should always be taken into consideration when planning a project.

For larger commercial refurbishment projects, fast recoating can make a significant difference to overall project efficiency.

## Suitable for Commercial and Domestic Floors

Although Bona Traffic HD Raw is designed for demanding traffic conditions, it is equally suitable for residential applications.

In busy family homes, wooden floors can experience considerable wear from children, pets, visitors and everyday activity. Bona Traffic HD Raw provides a way to protect the timber without changing its natural appearance.

Commercial applications can include:

* Offices
* Shops
* Restaurants
* Hotels
* Schools
* Public buildings
* Retail spaces
* Hospitality environments
* Other high-traffic interiors

Its combination of durability and ultra-matt aesthetics makes it particularly appealing for designers and property owners who want a natural-looking floor in a busy environment.

## Ideal for Modern Interior Design

Natural wood finishes continue to be popular in contemporary interior design. Many customers want their flooring to look as close to untreated timber as possible rather than appearing heavily varnished.

Bona Traffic HD Raw is specifically designed around this idea.

Its extremely low sheen works beautifully with minimalist interiors, Scandinavian-inspired designs and modern spaces that favour natural materials.

The finish can also be used to create different decorative effects when combined with suitable Bona primers or colour products. For example, white-toned finishes can create a cool Nordic appearance, while other compatible colour treatments can be used to alter the tone of the timber.

This gives designers and flooring professionals considerable flexibility.

## Excellent for Oiled-Look Floors

One of the main reasons customers choose Bona Traffic HD Raw is that it can create an appearance similar to an **oiled wooden floor**, while providing the protective advantages of a lacquered system.

Oiled floors are popular because they provide a natural, tactile appearance, but they can require more frequent maintenance and periodic re-oiling.

Bona Traffic HD Raw offers an alternative for customers who love the natural aesthetic of oil but want a hard-wearing lacquered surface that is easier to maintain.

This makes it an excellent choice for busy households and commercial spaces where regular intensive maintenance may not be practical.

## Professional Application

For the best results, the floor should be properly prepared before application. Timber should be fully sanded, clean, dry and free from dust, oil, wax and other contamination.

The product can be used as part of a suitable Bona floor finishing system, depending on the desired result and the condition of the timber.

Bona Traffic HD Raw can be applied using an appropriate professional floor lacquer roller. Careful and even application is important for achieving a consistent ultra-matt appearance across the entire floor.

The product should be mixed correctly with its hardener immediately before use, and the mixed product should be used within its recommended working time.

## Coverage and Application

Bona Traffic HD Raw provides an approximate coverage of **8–10 square metres per litre per coat**, depending on the surface and application method.

Coverage can vary according to the condition and porosity of the timber, the quality of sanding and the application technique.

Professional preparation and an even application are important for achieving the most consistent result.

The floor should also be allowed sufficient time to dry and cure before being subjected to heavy traffic.

## Low-Odour Water-Based Finish

Bona Traffic HD Raw has been designed with a **low-odour application experience**, making it a practical option for indoor flooring projects.

Its water-based formulation is well suited to modern interior refurbishment, where reducing unpleasant fumes and odours during application is an important consideration.

The product also meets stringent indoor air emission requirements, making it suitable for environments where attention to indoor air quality is important.

Appropriate ventilation should always be provided during application and drying.

## Why Choose Bona Traffic HD Raw?

Bona Traffic HD Raw offers an impressive combination of **ultra-matt aesthetics and professional-grade protection**.

It provides the natural look and feel of untreated timber while offering the durability, scuff resistance, chemical resistance and anti-slip properties expected from a high-performance Traffic HD floor lacquer.

The two-component water-based system provides excellent protection for demanding environments, while the rapid recoating time helps flooring professionals complete projects efficiently.

Most importantly, the ultra-matt finish allows the natural character of the wood to remain the focus.
