Polyurethane monocomponent, Blanchon Océanic Air Protect floor varnish provides high resistance to abrasion and stains. It highlights veining and natural colour of the wood. Based on the latest technologies, the Océanic formula is added with a VOC absorbing agent (formaldehyde). Air Protect innovation is human and environmentally friendly, which makes Blanchon Océanic Air protect as one of the most ecological varnishes in Canada.

Unlike other water-based varnishes the wood grains won’t be masked and will produce no whitish effect. It can be applied to all types of wood and it has the property to keep the natural colour of pale woods. Its milky shade completely fades when drying.

With its Air Protect property, it can block up to 80% of VOC coming from the floor and can eliminate up to 40% VOC from the air.
