Owatrol Seasonite, Stabilises And Protects New Wood

Product Description

Seasonite® protects new wood in its vulnerable first year, from the damaging effects of sun and moisture. An immediate application of Seasonite® seals out excess moisture and protects against sun damage, so keeping new wood looking new longer. Unlike water repellent products, which make the water “bead-up” but just sit on the surface and scuff off, Seasonite® penetrates, bonding with the fibres of the wood to stabilise and protect it, thus minimising any splitting, cracking, warping or cupping. Being breathable it allows excess moisture to gradually escape at the same time preventing any further moisture ingress. Seasonite® allows new wood to weather naturally in its first year.
