Junckers' lacquer range is organised in clear tiers, from everyday one-component lacquers through to two-component commercial and sport-specific finishes — several sold under updated names, noted below alongside their older, more familiar ones.
One-Component Lacquers: MT200, MT400 and MT500
MT200 (formerly ProFinish) is a water-based, low-odour polyurethane lacquer suited to new floors, previously sealed surfaces, or sanded old floors alike. MT400 (formerly ProTech) provides a hard-wearing surface on machine-sanded or untreated wood, also suitable for previously finished timber. MT500 (formerly Strong) sits at the top of the one-component range, offering the ease of a single-component product alongside strong levelling and flow characteristics, in UltraMatt and Silk Matt sheens.
HT700: Two-Component for High Foot Traffic
HT700 (formerly HP Commercial) is a hard-wearing, two-component water-based polyurethane lacquer, low odour, suited to maintaining lacquered wooden floors in commercial areas under high foot traffic, as well as surface treatment of untreated floors. It's a step up from the MT range where sustained heavy use is expected.
Friction: Slip-Resistant for Restaurants and Bars
Friction (formerly HP Friction Plus) is a slip-resistant, two-component, non-yellowing lacquer with rapid curing times, specifically suited to high-traffic areas where grip underfoot matters — restaurants and bars in particular.
HP800 Sport: Built for Sports Flooring
HP800 Sport (formerly HP Sport Satin) is a two-component, 100% polyurethane lacquer engineered for sports flooring under exceptionally high traffic, suitable for both previously sealed surfaces and new or fully sanded floors.
Common Questions About Junckers Floor Lacquers
What's the difference between MT200, MT400 and MT500?
All three are one-component lacquers, differing mainly in intended use and finish characteristics — MT200 suits general new and previously sealed floors, MT400 is aimed at machine-sanded or untreated wood, and MT500 sits at the premium end of the one-component range for levelling and flow.
Should I choose MT500 or HT700?
MT500 is a one-component lacquer suited to general residential and moderate commercial use. HT700 is a two-component lacquer aimed at commercial areas under high foot traffic, offering greater durability.
Is Friction lacquer only for commercial use?
It's specifically formulated for slip resistance and is commonly used in restaurants and bars, but the same slip-resistant properties are relevant anywhere grip underfoot is a priority.
Are the older Junckers product names (ProFinish, Strong, ProTech) still valid?
These have been renamed to MT200, MT500 and MT400 respectively — the formulations are the same product line under updated names.
