Bona R590 is a premium, one-component polyurethane moisture barrier that also functions as a primer and bonding layer for wood floor installations. Designed for professional use, it provides excellent moisture protection while simultaneously improving adhesion between the subfloor and Bona adhesive systems.
This versatile product creates a strong, elastic and moisture-resistant membrane that helps control residual moisture in mineral substrates while reinforcing weak surfaces. Bona R590 is ideal for demanding installations where both moisture control and strong bonding performance are required.
