Polyvine, the UK’s trusted Trade Varnish Experts, are proud to announce the launch of 2K-POLY86, a high-performance, water-based polyurethane 2-pack varnish system, designed for the most demanding interior wood applications. 

Designed specifically for high-traffic and high-impact areas, 2K-POLY86 combines professional grade polyurethane varnish with a dedicated hardener to create an exeptionally durable finish capable of withstanding intensive commercial use. The system is ideal for internal wooden floors, bartops, sports halls, village halls, schools, restaurants, hotels, shops and much more. 

Unlike many traditional 2-pack systems, 2K-POLY86 is water-based, delivering a low-odour solution without compromising on performance. The clear finish enhances the natural beauty of the timber while providing excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, chemicals, scuffing and commercial wear.

  • 4.4L Kit (4L Varnish + 400ml Hardener)
