Wood Impregnation

Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%

Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Thoroughly remove any dirt, grease and non-adhering old coatings.

To enhance the effect, the construction should be designed to repel water (avoid horizontal surfaces, open end grains, capillary joints, water and moisture pockets, splashing water contact, sharp edges).

Take appropriate measures to protect adjacent building elements and materials that should not come into contact with the product.

Observe BFS Code of Practice No. 18 "Coatings on Wood and Wooden Working Materials in Outdoor Areas".

Stir well.

Apply with a brush, roller or by spraying.

Apply in the direction of the grain.

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.

Only use the product on bare wood.

When applying by spraying, avoid excess material. If necessary, smooth off with a brush after spraying.

On planed wood surfaces and very resinous softwoods, the adhesion and weather resistance of the coating may be reduced. This leads to a shortening of the renovation intervals. We therefore recommend using coarse wood sanding (P 80) or rough-sawn wood.

To achieve the best possible impregnation effect, intermediate sanding should be omitted. If necessary, the surface can be lightly smoothed using an abrasive sponge.

A preliminary test for adhesion and compatibility is required before overcoating with system products not listed.

Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.

Drying may take longer depending on the type of wood, e.g. oak, due to substances it contains.

Paintbrush with synthetic bristles, flat brush, foam roller, pressure sprayer

Clean tools with water and detergent 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 24 months.

Use the contents of open containers as quickly as possible.

Approx. 80-120 ml/m² per coat, at least 2 coats required

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.
