Features & Benefits

• 3 in 1: impregnation, priming and stain
• For exterior wood
• Reduces the risk of rot when used in conjunction with constructive wood protection measures
• Increased solids content provides protection against nesting wasps
• Subsequent treatment without sanding
• Low-build stain
• Brilliant colours
• Does not flake
• All colours are mixable with one another
• Please note that containers > 5 litres are only suitable for distribution to professional users
• Clear, white and hemlock are suitable for use only on not directly weathered surfaces in outdoor areas, such as roof eaves, or as base coat.

Application Rate

• Preventive action against blue stain at 205-250ml/m²
• Practical experience has shown that at least two coats are required to achieve this application quantity
• Planed or very thick woods are less absorbent and may require a third coat

Characteristic Data of the Product

Possible System Products

• Long Life Stain UV (2234)
• End Grain Sealer (1900)

Preparation

Substrate requirements

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

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

Substrate preparation

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

Remove loose and torn knots as well as resin that bleeds and clean with a suitable product (e.g. V 101 thinner, thinner & brush cleaner).

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

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

Directions

Conditions for use

Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +5 °C to max. +30 °C

• Stir well
• Private users: Application by brush
• Professional operations: Application by brush, dipping, flow coating; spraying only in closed facilities
• Apply in the direction of the grain
• Apply a second coat once the first has dried
• On oak an additional, clear base coat is recommended
• Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible

Tips on Use

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

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

Clear, white and hemlock are suitable for use only on not directly weathered surfaces in outdoor areas, such as roof eaves, or as base coat.

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.

Seal end-grain surfaces with the corresponding colour of Long Time Stain UV or Window & Door Stain (apply at least 2 coats).

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

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

Drying

• Approx. 12 hours at 20 °C and 65 % relative humidity
• Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying
• Even once the coating is sufficiently dry for handling, less volatile solvents may cause surface to feel clammy to the touch over several days
• This property does not constitute a flaw
• The evaporation of these solvents can be accelerated by the ensuring the highest possible air exchange.

Thinning

Ready for use

Notes

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.

In accordance with DIN 68800-1, wood preservation measures must be planned in a timely and careful manner in coordination with all parties involved in the construction (architect, client, contractor) taking into account legal requirements and local conditions.

Tools / Cleaning

Brush (natural bristles)

Clean tools immediately after use with thinner and brush cleaner.

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

Storage / Shelf life

Store in well-sealed, original containers, out of the reach of children and in a dry, cool, well-ventilated room which is protected from direct sunlight and frost. No smoking is permitted in storage areas.
