Bona R540 is a high-performance, one-component polyurethane moisture barrier designed to protect wooden flooring from residual moisture in mineral substrates. It creates a durable, elastic and moisture-resistant film that significantly reduces moisture migration from the subfloor.
Easy to apply and ready to use, Bona R540 is ideal for use prior to parquet installation where moisture control is critical. It also strengthens the surface of weak substrates and improves adhesion for subsequent Bona adhesives.
