Description

AQUATROL® is a water-based saturating finish, perfect for weathered wood on decking and cladding made from softwoods such as cedar, Douglas fir, larch, and pressure-treated wood. Its gel consistency allows for easy, non-drip application, providing long-lasting protection while preserving the natural look of the wood. AQUATROL® offers a clear, matt, oily finish that is resistant to UV exposure, ensuring that the wood does not darken over time.

This product is easy to apply due to its gel formula, which prevents running and dripping. Unlike film-forming finishes, AQUATROL® does not peel or flake, making maintenance straightforward with no need for stripping or sanding. It is available in two wood tones that can be mixed to achieve the desired colour.

AQUATROL® effectively protects all types of outdoor wood against UV and weather damage, preventing greying, cracking, and warping. It maintains or enhances the wood’s natural colour, making it an ideal choice for reliable and easy-to-apply wood protection.

Recommendations before application

Always apply AQUATROL® to dry wood (humidity less than 19%).
Check that the wood is untreated (free of old coatings), clean and free of grease stains.
Do not apply AQUATROL® to new wood.
Mix the product well before application.
Do not use on hardwood or plywood.

Application

Generously apply 2 to 3 coats of AQUATROL® ‘fresh on fresh’ using a brush, roller or spray gun (smoothing recommended in the latter case) until the wood is saturated. When the milky appearance of the first coat begins to disappear (approximately 15 to 30 minutes), apply the second coat without delay. Never leave to dry between coats.
At the end of the application, simply wipe and brush off any product that has not been absorbed. Pay particular attention to the ends of wood, which tend to absorb water and humidity; saturate them well to waterproof them and avoid the risk of water infiltration.
Refer to the instructions on the packaging.
