Finalize the metallization with a glossy and protective wax
Mantra Protex from Loggia is a natural wax with a glossy and protective effect designed to finalize the metallic surfaces made with compatible Loggia systems.
The manufacturer officially intends it for the final polishing of Mantra Metal and Bi Plasma Metal. After the work of metallization, sanding, and polishing, Mantra Protex completes the finish by enhancing the reading of reflections and the visual depth of the metal.
It therefore constitutes the final step of the decor: not to create the metallic effect, but to reveal it further and protect the finished surface.
Enhance the depth of the metal further
On Mantra Metal, the real metal contained in the coating can be gradually sanded and polished before the application of the wax.
Mantra Protex accompanies this final phase by providing a glossy finish that accentuates the variations, nuances, and reflection of the surface.
The interest is particularly visible on metallizations with several levels of polishing or intentional oxidation: the wax helps to homogenize the finish while allowing the differences created in the decor to be perceptible.
A finish specially designed for Mantra Metal
The compatibility with Mantra Metal is directly confirmed by Loggia.
After the creation and polishing of the decor, the manufacturer plans for about 24 hours of drying before the application of Mantra Protex.
The surface must be perfectly dust-free to avoid trapping sanding residues under the wax.
Mantra Protex thus integrates as the final finish of the cold metallization system Mantra, after any oxidation and polishing phases.
Bi Plasma Metal: the officially documented Plasma compatibility
The title Stuccodeco mentions Plasma3D to facilitate product identification within the range, but the current documentation from Loggia precisely confirms compatibility with Bi Plasma Metal.
Therefore, Mantra Protex should not be considered automatically suitable for all versions of Plasma 3D.
For other Plasma finishes, the choice of wax or protection must be verified according to the system actually applied.
Application followed by polishing with sheepskin
Mantra Protex is applied using a cotton cloth or a wool pad, working the wax in circular motions to achieve an even distribution.
After about 1 to 2 hours, Loggia plans a mechanical polishing with a polisher equipped with a sheepskin.
This step directly contributes to the development of the final shine and helps to uniform the reflection across the entire decor.
It is preferable to work with a controlled layer: applying more wax does not necessarily mean achieving more shine.
A protective wax, not a varnish
Mantra Protex should be considered as a finishing and polishing wax.
It is neither a polyurethane varnish, nor an epoxy resin, nor a protection intended to make a surface waterproof or resistant like a technical flooring.
Its function is to protect and finalize compatible metallic decors while contributing to their shiny appearance.
