Product specifications
On delivery
The stated values represent typical product characteristics and are not to be construed as binding product specifications.
Field of application
- For use on exterior wood
- Dimensionally stable wood building elements: e.g. windows and doors
- Wood building elements with limited dimensional stability, e.g. folding shutters, matchboarding, summerhouses
- Wood building elements with no dimensional stability: e.g. fences, framework, carports, planking
- Soft and hard woods
Properties
- Ready to apply by dipping or flow-coating
- Less discolouration due to water-soluble substances in the wood
- Good flow characteristics on untreated and impregnated wood
- Good pore wetting performance
- Good (wet) adhesion
-
Preparation
-
Substrate requirements
The substrate must be clean, dry, free of dust, grease and loose substances, and prepared in the correct manner.
Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%
Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%
-
Preparations
If necessary, impregnate non-resistant woods with a wood preservative* (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).
Observe BFS Code of Practice No. 18 "Coatings on Wood and Wooden Working Materials in Outdoor Areas".

-
Application
-
Stir well, including during application or after a break in work.
Qualified specialist companies: brushing, dipping, flow-coating and spraying in closed systems only.
Once the material is dry, apply an intermediate coating of a suitable system product.
If you wish to use this primer as an intermediate coating, please discuss this with the Remmers Technical Service first.
Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.
-
Application instructions
-
Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.
If the viscosity increases due to evaporation, this must be compensated for with water (target viscosity: run-out time approx. 24 - 26 s in ISO cup 3 mm).
On Accoya, oak and chestnut, optimum run-off results are achieved at a pH value of 9.0 - 9.5, which corresponds to an addition of 0.3 - 0.5% Induline A-229 or 0.1 - 0.3% ammonia (25%).
The product's sealing effect may be impaired if it is diluted too thinly, if the wood is too wet or if the recommended coating sequence, application volumes and drying times are not observed.
With water based coating systems, there is always a residual risk that substances contained in the wood will cause discolouration.
The system finder on our website www.remmers.com contains coating recommendations for specific wood types to be used when treating windows and exterior doors.
-
Drying
Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.
Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.
-
Working tools / cleaning
-
Acrylic brush, dipping tank, flow coating facility, spraying tunnel
Clean tools with water or Aqua RK-898 Cleaning Concentrate immediately after use.
Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.
-

-
If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 12 months.
-
Usage
-
80 - 120 ml/m² per coat
-
General information
