HSL-32/m Premium Wood Protection Stain 3in1

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%

Completely remove old coatings (e.g. paints or medium-build stains), bark, bast and dirt.

Remove any loose and torn knots as well as resin that bleeds from the wood and clean with a suitable product (e.g. V 101 Thinner, a nitrocellulose or universal thinner).

Smooth, planed wood surfaces should be sanded and dusted before the coating is applied to ensure better absorption.

Exterior wood that also requires protection against wood-destroying insects and rot should be pre-treated with IG-10 Impregnation Primer IT*. (*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".

Stir well.

Apply by brush.

Apply in the direction of the grain.

Apply a second or third coat once dry.

Use material with the same batch number on contiguous surfaces (mix material of different batches beforehand), otherwise slight differences in colour, gloss and texture may occur.

On oak an additional, clear base coat is recommended.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

Before coating technically modified woods and wood-based materials, apply the product to a trial surface and conduct a suitability test on the desired area of use.

If the surface is overcoated with other products it is recommended to test the adhesion to the substrate.

White should be used in outdoor areas only for surfaces not directly exposed to weather such as roof eaves etc. or as base coat.

Due to the different covering properties of white and pastel varnish colours, the optical appearance may vary depending on the substrate. It must be checked in advance whether discolouration of the varnish may occur due to substances contained in the wood.

Due to the low UV protection of these colour shades, shorter maintenance intervals must be expected.

In order to take account of and clarify these issues, a trial surface must be prepared in order to ensure that the surface meets expectations.

Rainfall may cause water soluble substances to bleed from wood that is rich in such substances, e.g. oak, red cedar, afzelia, redwood, etc. This may lead to the discolouration of light-coloured masonry or render.

Cut end-grain surfaces at the bottom to create a water-drip edge.

Seal end-grain wood with Induline SW-910 in the corresponding colour (at least 2 coats).

Each layer of stain results in a more intense colour and a glossier finish.

Overcoating: after approx. 12 hours

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.

Ready to use

Paintbrush with natural bristles, flat brush

Clean tools immediately after use with V 101 Thinner.
Dispose of the remains from cleaning properly.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Approx. 180 ml - 250 ml/m² in min. 2 - 3 coats

Planed or very thick woods are less absorbent and may require a third coat

DIN EN 71-3 "Migration of certain elements":

This product complies with the limits for the migration of heavy metals to children's toys according to DIN EN 71-3 and thus fulfils one of several further requirements for the safety of children's toys according to the EU "Toy Directive" (2009/48/EC).

On planed larch and softwoods with a high resin content, the coating may have reduced adhesion and resistance to weathering. This is especially the case on horizontal year rings, knots and areas of winter growth that are high in resin. Maintenance and renovation must be carried out more frequently on these surfaces.
The only remedy for this is pre-weathering or very coarse sanding (P80).
If these wood types are rough-sawn, considerably longer maintenance and renovation intervals are to be expected.

Appropriate design measures are essential to ensuring durable wooden building elements and long-lasting coatings. The structure should be designed to repel water (avoid horizontal surfaces, bare end-grain wood, capillary joints, places where water and moisture can accumulate, contact with splash water, and sharp edges).

The production of exterior building elements made from wood requires particularly care when planning, selecting the wood, designing, bonding elements together, glazing and waterproofing.

If the design requirements for exterior wooden building elements are not met, it will not be possible to obtain a durable coated finish.

Observe the regulations concerning design principles for wood protection.

Do not use on horizontal surfaces without drainage slopes and without edge radius, avoid accumulated moisture.

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
