An environmentally friendly, VOC free, water based stain
treatment for bare timber, which provides lasting water repellency and
protection.
TYPICAL USES: An impregnation treatment for bare timber to give
lasting protection against moisture penetration and mould/mildew
growth. Available in a range of attractive semi-transparent colours.
PERFORMANCE: A premium silane/siloxane treatment, which
penetrates and chemically bonds with timber, providing a hydrophobic
matrix which prevents water penetration. Available in a range of semitransparent stain colours which will provide a good level of protection
from timber degradation due to UV.
This technology is a significant departure from traditional oil stain
products which merely seal the surface, providing a physical barrier
which slowly erodes away. REPEL forms strong chemical bonds with the
timber fibres both at, and beneath the surface, to provide a deep layer
of protection against water ingress.
LIMITATIONS: Not recommended for use un-tinted as a clear coat, as
will not prevent discoloration and breakdown of timber due to UV.
Requires re-application every 2-3 years. Do not apply if air or surface
temperature is below 10oC, or if rain is imminent.
