Ceramic-fortified with Arboritec’s Small Particle Technology, it’s the professional’s choice for high-traffic residential and light commercial wood floors where performance can’t be compromised.

Available in Ultra-Matte (5 GU), Satin (20 GU), Semi-Gloss (45 GU), and Gloss (90 GU)

Description

The 1K lacquer that performs like a 2K — without the stress.


Classic+ is Arboritec’s 1-component, 100% waterborne polyurethane finish for wood and parquet floors. Manufactured in Sweden using Arboritec’s proprietary Small Particle Technology (SPT), it embeds ceramic silica particles deep into the finish — creating a chemically bonded, scratch-resistant surface that outperforms standard 1K lacquers and matches the durability of many 2-component systems.

No mixing. No pot life. No wasted product. Just apply, dry, and move on to the next coat.

Why Professionals and Homeowners Choose Classic+

  • Ceramic Silica fortification — Arboritec’s advanced mineral rates 4,500–4,600 on the Knoop hardness scale, significantly harder than the aluminium oxide used in most prefinished floors (1,800–2,200). The result is a finish that genuinely resists scratches, scuffs, and heel marks
  • True 2K performance from a 1K bottle — crosslinks upon application without a separate catalyst. For extra protection on the final coat, add Arboritec Part B Hardener to boost durability even further
  • Fast dry, short cure — dries in 30–60 minutes on bare wood; ready for light traffic in 24 hours; fully cured in 5 days
  • Extremely versatile — apply directly over Arboritec sealers, raw wood, or stain. Add Arboritec White or Amber Additive to introduce colour to any project
  • Exceptional flow and levelling — self-levels beautifully, avoiding roller marks and lap lines even for less experienced applicators
  • Chemical resistant — holds up against grease, water, and ordinary household cleaners and detergents
  • NMP-free, low VOC — 60 g/L VOC content; low odour; safe for occupied homes
  • Made in Sweden — manufactured to the highest Scandinavian quality standards
  • Up to 30% more eco-friendly than comparable lacquers — ceramic fortification reduces petrochemical raw material use by up to 30%
  • Water-based clean-up — tools wash clean with water immediately after use

Recommended Primer System

Always prime before applying Classic+. Primer choice depends on wood species and desired tone:

Primer Best For
Arboritec First Coat Neutral, non-yellowing — ideal for lighter woods like oak, ash, and maple. High 38% solids for excellent build. Ceramic formula
Arboritec Seal Coat Ultra-transparent base for a cooler look – Ceramic Formula 
Arboritec Vibrant Deep-ambering ceramic-fortified primer — enriches darker tones in oak, walnut, and exotic species. Ceramic Formula 
Arboritec Miracle Oil 2K Where a penetrating oil base is desired before lacquer top-coating – Ceramic Formula 

Recommended system: 1 coat primer + 2 coats Classic+. On bare unstained wood without a primer: 3 coats Classic+.

How to Apply

  1. Sand floor to a smooth, clean finish — final sanding with 120-grit belt or 100-grit screen
  2. Vacuum and tack the floor to remove all dust
  3. Apply chosen Arboritec primer per its instructions and allow to fully dry
  4. Shake Classic+ vigorously for 30–60 seconds, then allow to rest for 2–3 minutes before applying
  5. Apply by T-bar, roller, or brush along the direction of the floor boards — do not dilute
  6. Allow 30–60 minutes drying time between coats on bare wood; 2–4 hours between subsequent coats
  7. Sand lightly between coats if desired for adhesion or to remove grain raise
  8. For an extra-durable final coat, add Arboritec Part B Hardener to the last application
  9. Keep off the floor for 24 hours — ready for light traffic after 24 hours; fully cured in 5 days

Floor, product, and air temperature must be between 13°C and 25°C. Relative humidity: 40–60%. At high temperatures and low humidity, add 2% Arboritec Extender. Keep underfloor heating off from the day before application until 24 hours after.
