WOOD-TECH™

WOOD-TECH™ is a full colored, penetrating, 100% acrylic wood and deck sealer. We can match competitors colors or custom colors. It effectively penetrates, seals, waterproofs and protects wood, resisting moisture penetration, and subsequent rotting and decay. It is a high technology waterborne formulation that retards the aging process (silvering) of new, unexposed fresh wood. It has excellent mildew resistance and possesses ultraviolet resisting chemicals that slow down the damaging effects of the sun’s U.V. rays.
It protects and beautifies wood surfaces for up to 5 years depending on atmospheric conditions and geographic region. Longevity and wear is relative to the amount of foot traffic to which the product is subjected. Periodic recoating of high traffic areas may be necessary. The ultimate combination of acrylic resin and additives form a wood finish that is soft enough to expand and contract with porous wood yet is durable and hard enough to accommodate deck traffic.
When coating begins to wear with age, prepare the surface (see surface preparation), and re-coat.
WOOD-TECH™ also is available in a Clear Gloss (#:5695) or Semi-Transparent (#:5660) Wood and Deck Sealer. Check out DECK GUARDIAN™ Deck Coating for elastomeric coating floor projects. On concrete projects ACRACLEAR™Best Concrete Sealer for clear finish or ACRATHANE™ Concrete Sealer for color options.

WOOD-TECH™ can be used on interior or exterior uncoated wood such as cedar, pine, fir, redwood, etc., and well weathered previously stained wood surfaces using proper preparation.
WOOD-TECH™ possesses excellent adhesion and can be used over other paints, stains and coatings once compatibility has been determined by testing an area and checking after 72 hours for adhesion and compatibility.
WOOD-TECH™ is designed for use on structural lumber, wood siding, shingles, fences, doors, frames, sash, trellises, decks, pool decks, docks and spas.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
For proper adhesion and penetration it is essential that the surface is prepared properly. Pressure wash all wood with a water and chlorine solution using at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove any previous coatings, mildew, dirt, grease, grime, and other foreign materials. If wood is weathered and has remained dark or silver gray after pressure washing, apply a solution of 1 part chlorine and 2 parts water and scrub with a stiff brush. All wood should be lightly sanded with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper. Additional sanding may be required on new wood to remove mill glaze. Pressure wash again. Pressure treated wood must be weathered, dried and aged a minimum of 6 months before coating.
All surfaces must be completely dry before applying WOOD-TECH™.
Do not coat soaked, wet or moist wood with this product!

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Stir product before using and occasionally stir while using product. Do not thin this product. Do not apply in direct sunlight, or when temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or when humidity is very high. Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approx. 1 to 2 hours). Drying time will vary depending on location and weather conditions. Apply using brush, roller, or pump sprayer. Spread liberally enough as to penetrate wood checks and cracks while feathering excess puddles and runs before coating has dried. Sets to touch in approx. 1 hour and dries in approx. 2 to 4 hours. Wait at least 4 hours before recoating. Two coats of WOOD-TECH™ are recommended. For maximum durability, increased gloss, and darkening of color, a third coat can be applied.

CLEAN UP:
Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.
