Protek Wood Preserver ++

Protek Wood Preserver ++ is an effective wood preservative used for pre-treatment of non-resistant wood in outdoor areas. Must be overcoated with a top coat finish.

Please note: This product is the new formulation that replaces the old 'Protek Wood Preserver Plus', which was for commercial use only. This product is not suitable for use on interior wood.

All outside wood, which is not in direct contact to soil or surface water can be treated with Protek Wood Preserver ++. This includes façades, windows (inner and outer parts), exterior doors (inner and outer parts), carports, shutters and balcony railings etc.

Please Note: This product should not be used in indoor living spaces apart from external windows and doors. This product dries clear.

The wood surface to be treated must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

• All previous coatings must be completely removed by sanding to bare wood or using a dedicated wood stripper
• If necessary grey or deteriorated wood should be sanded down to a clean, sound surface
• Remove any mould or algae with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
• Fill any gaps or imperfections with a suitable exterior wood filler
• Wear suitable protective clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves (e.g. nitrile rubber gloves) when applying this product

Always do a test area to assess product suitability before starting any project. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Wood should be frost free when treated. Do not apply in damp conditions or if rain is imminent. Protek Wood Preserver Plus is a ready-to-use product and does not need to be diluted. The temperature of the wood and product should not be below 10°C or above 30°C.

For professional use, this product can be applied by dipping (or flow coating) in special facilities and equipment, or by spraying in closed devices. For regular DIY use, apply the product with a synthetic brush.

1. Stir product thoroughly before use
2. Apply the wood preserver with a synthetic brush, spreading out thinly and evenly along the wood grain
3. Apply 2-3 coats, depending on wood species and surface characteristics, leaving 6 hours between coats

Drying time: 6 hours under normal conditions (20°C / 65% rel. humidity). Low temperatures, increased humidity and ingredients of some wood types may increase drying time.
