Three of the most commonly specified Bona waterborne finishes — here's how they stack up against each other and when to use which.
Bona Traffic HD — High Traffic Commercial
Bona Traffic HD is a 2-component waterborne polyurethane topcoat designed for high traffic intensity. It's the strongest finish in Bona's range — used on commercial floors, retail spaces, stairwells, schools and any application where durability and fast return-to-service are critical. Pot life 8 hours, light traffic at 6 hours, full use 12–24 hours.
Available in: Extra Matt (20°), Silk Matt (40°), RAW, Anti-Slip.
Bona Mega EVO — Enhanced Residential 1K
Bona Mega EVO is the latest generation of Bona's 1-component Mega system — a waterborne finish that doesn't require a hardener. It's designed for standard residential and light commercial floors where the full commercial specification of Traffic HD isn't required. No mixing, straightforward application, durable enough for quality homes and rental properties.
Bona Wave 2K — Genuine 2K for Residential/Light Commercial
Bona Wave 2K sits between Mega EVO and Traffic HD — genuine 2-component chemistry for improved durability, but spec'd for heavy residential and light-to-moderate commercial rather than high-traffic commercial. Pot life 4 hours, recoat 2–3 hours, light traffic 24 hours, full cure 7 days.
