- Product Highlights
PureMatte™ provides superior wood floor protection while preserving it’s inherent natural beauty. PureMatte waterbased wood floor finish gives the durability of StreetShoe® with a flat matte finish. The classic look of PureMatte will also improve the longevity of a pure, natural looking hardwood floor. It adds beauty and protection to any environment. PureMatte is a smooth, low luster coating that enhances natural beauty along with commercial durability. PureMatte is ideal for all residential and commercial hardwood floors.
Low-luster Matte Keeps Floors Looking Cleaner Longer
PureMatte’s propriety matting agents give the lowest gloss in a wood floor finish with exceptional soil resistance and cleanability. PureMatte’s smooth texture does not grab and hold dirt, a common problem in other matte products available today.

Over Stains And Game Line Paints
For Stains: Allow stains to dry per manufacturer’s directions or longer depending on environmental conditions.
Adding Water
Up to 12 ounces of water can be added per gallon of finish. Adding water will increase the flow and level time during situations of high temperature and low humidity.
Surface Preparation
- Sand floors using accepted NWFA/MFMA procedures. All old finish must be removed. A NIOSH approved dust mask should be worn during sanding.
- Finish sanding with new 120 – 150 grit screens. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
- Vacuum. Tack with clean Basic Coatings Microfiber Mop until all dust has been removed.
Finish Application (Pre Application)
Always maintain adequate ventilation during all phases of the coating and drying process.
- Measure moisture content of floor in several areas.
- Use a stir stick to re-disperse any settlement, rock container several times.
- While stirring finish, slowly add Basic Coatings XL Catalyst. Continue mixing 30 seconds after addition is complete, allow 10 minutes set time before application. XL Catalyst can irritate skin and eyes upon contact; please use correct PPE.
- When catalyzed material is over 24 hours old please refer to the Basic Coatings Technical Bulletin Recatalyzing Basic Coatings Finishes.
- Rinse finish applicator and remove all excess water to remove loose applicator fibers.
- Edge out about 6 inches from baseboard or wall with a paint pad or polyester brush. Stay within 2- 3 feet of the finish line to avoid lap marks, streaking or thicker film build. Be sure to feather the edge.
- Starting about one foot from the head wall, pour a 4-inch wide line of finish the length of the floor going with the grain. Stop about three feet from the opposite wall. As close to the wall as possible, hold the applicator at a slight angle and drag it in a “squeegee” or “plowing” type motion to move the puddle from one side of the room to the other. Overlap two inches of the last pass and pull parallel passes until the entire floor is coated. Brush out all turns, stops, and other applicator marks brushing in the direction of the grain of the wood. Feather out turns with a painters pad after the T-bar has made the turn. Add finish to the puddle-line when needed to maintain a wet edge across the room. For more information on coating procedures and tips visit the training section at basiccoatings.com.
- When 2-3 feet from exiting wall, begin to taper the puddle-line down to a nickel size bead. Back out of the room by wetting small sections of the remaining floor, brushing away from you in the same direction as the grain of the wood.
- Allow each coat a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes to level.
- After finish levels, place fans in an adjacent area to pull moisture away from the job site. When each coat has dried a minimum of 2-3 hours, re-measure moisture content. If moisture content is not equal to the first reading, allow more dry time before proceeding to the next coat.
- If necessary, abrade between coats to remove debris, hair, drips, etc. or if the 24-hour window between coats has elapsed. Abrade with the pad and strip system, using 180-240 grit sanding strips. Vacuum and tack with the Basic Microfiber Mop in between coats.
- If the 24-hour window has elapsed, the Basic Coatings® TyKote® Dust-Free Refinishing System is an alternative to screening the floor. Refer to Tykote application procedures for details.
- Apply all subsequent coats in the same manner.
Recoating Procedures
DO NOT USE PureMatte™ over waxed surfaces. See Basic Coatings Technical Bulletin, Testing and Removal Procedure for Acrylic Polish and Paste Wax.
- Tack the floor with Basic Coatings Squeaky™ Cleaner per label directions.
- Abrade with new 100 or 120-grit screens or use the pad and strip system. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
- Vacuum. Tack the floor with a clean Basic Coatings Microfiber Pad until all dust has been removed.
- Apply 1 - 2 coats PureMatte using the procedures outlined above.
Dry Time
Allow at least 2-3 hours between coats and 1 hour of good ventilation before closing job site. Keep air moving over floor for several hours. The floor may be opened to light traffic and furniture replaced after 24 hours dry time; however, it is susceptible to scuffing or marring. Finish will reach full cure in approximately 7 days. Do not place carpet, rugs, or cover the finish for at least two weeks after coating.
Daily Maintenance
Do not use any liquid cleaners other than water for the first 2 weeks. Use Basic Squeaky Cleaner as directed for routine cleaning and maintenance once the 2-week window has passed. See Basic Coatings maintenance brochures for additional instructions.
