Pardonnez-moi, je ne sais pas comment ajouter une note à ma question précédente... et comme je suis un peu étourdie, je me suis trompée dans l'intitulé de la question!
J'ai donc besoin de la traduction de "metal-locks" [REMOVES ALL TYPES OF FLOOR FINISHES INCLUDING METAL-LOCKS, POLYMERS AND CARNAUBA WAX]
Merci!!

Why are some floors so hard to strip ?

Some floor coatings are held together by millions of microscopic metal locks or "cross links". The stripper attacks these locks with chemicals that act like keys. The unlocked coating breaks apart and is carried off by the stripper solution.

Sometimes there are not enough keys to complete the job:

a) You added too much water to the stripper

b) The finish is too thick for the stripper to handle

c) The wrong stripper was chosen for the coating

Sometimes there are not enough locks in a coating, such as with semi-permanent seals. Some strippers are made with a different set of keys to remove coatings like this.

Improper stripping may remove the locks only from the polymer and leave the polymer behind.
