Morrells Induro XL2 Clear 2K Polyurethane Wood Floor Lacquer is a professional two-component, waterborne polyurethane finish developed for timber floors exposed to demanding use, heavy foot traffic and regular cleaning.
Colour and appearance: Induro XL2 is a clear, transparent topcoat. Matt and Silk Matt describe the sheen, not the colour. The timber, stain and sealer beneath remain visible, while the lacquer may deepen and enhance their existing tone.
Its tough yet flexible formulation provides excellent resistance to abrasion, scuffs, spillages and mechanical wear while retaining clear, non-yellowing clarity that enhances the natural character of the timber.
Suitable for solid, engineered, parquet and herringbone flooring, Induro XL2 is an excellent choice for busy homes, commercial premises and other environments where a highly durable professional floor finish is required.
Supplied as a 5L two-component system with the appropriate catalyst . Available in Matt and Silk Matt finishes.
Wiltshire Wood Recommendation:
For most oak, pine and standard hardwood floors, apply one coat of
Morrells Induro GP Wood Floor Sealer
followed by the required coats of Morrells Induro XL2.
On tropical, naturally oily or potentially contaminated timber, substitute GP Sealer with Morrells Induro Isosil Wood Floor Sealer to isolate natural oils, waxes and other contaminants before lacquering.

Important: Morrells Induro XL2 is a professional two-component product and must be mixed accurately at nine parts lacquer to one part catalyst. Once catalysed, it has a working life of approximately five hours and cannot be stored for later use. Do not use application equipment containing copper, iron, zinc, aluminium or platinum. Always follow the current Morrells Technical and Safety Data Sheets and carry out an adhesion test when coating over a non-Induro product.
