Owatrol Textrol HES, Saturating Oil For Wood With Enhanced UV Protection

Product Description

TEXTROL® HES is a onecoat, penetrating oil finish for softwoods and European hardwoods. Developed to penetrate deep in to the wood, TEXTROL® HES has a high solids content that protects the wood against the vagaries of the weather and UV rays. Having a matt-sheen finish, TEXTROL® HES enhances the grain and natural beauty of the wood.

Properties

• High solids content – Increased UV protection.
• Enhances the natural beauty of the wood.
• Non-film building – No peeling or flaking.
• Microporous – Allows wood to breathe.
• Matt-sheen finish.
• Based on natural oils.

Surface Preparation

General directions

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
• Treat mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Scrub solution on to surface and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes; rinse thoroughly.
• After cleaning and/or stripping, allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18% or less before applying finish.
• TEXTROL® HES can only be applied to bare wood surfaces or weathered surfaces previously finished with TEXTROL® HES.
• ALL other finishes MUST be completely and thoroughly removed.
• If necessary sand surface after cleaning and/or stripping (80 grit paper).

New wood surfacesRough Sawn: Apply TEXTROL® HES.Planed: New smooth, planed wood has a hard shiny surface called mill-glaze that prevents maximum penetration and adhesion of any finish, this should be removed to ensure maximum performance of the finish.Treat with AQUANETT®* or PREPDECK®* and neutralise with NET-TROL®* OR sand with 80 grit paper to open the wood pores, dust off and degrease surface with Methylated Spirits.Weathered wood surfaces (untreated)Wood that has weathered longer than 12 months or turned grey should be cleaned with NET-TROL®* to remove all loose wood fibres, dirt and other surface contaminants. If wood is severely contaminated, clean with AQUANETT®* or PREPDECK®* and neutralise with NET-TROL®*.Previously coated surfaces (oiled, paint, stain, varnish…)

• All previous coatings must be completely and thoroughly removed.
• Oils and sealers: Strip with AQUANETT®* or PREPDECK®*, neutralise with NET-TROL®*.
• Solvent (oil or alkyd based finishes): Strip with DILUNETT®* neutralise with NET-TROL®*.
• Acrylic finishes (Water-based): Strip with PREPDECK®* neutralise with NET-TROL®*.
• Other finishes i.e. 2 pack epoxies, urethanes… Strip with CDKP® 90*, neutralise surface with a suitable solvent – Acetone, White Spirits, Methylated Spirits…

NoteHardwoods and woods rich in tannins e.g. Oak, Chestnut, Douglas Fir, Cedar… may darken with AQUANETT®*, PREPDECK®* and DILUNETT®*, neutralising with NET-TROL®* immediately after rinsing will lighten and restore the woods colour.

Application

• Use as is. Do not thin.
• Stir can well before and during application.
• Apply a single liberal application of TEXTROL® HES working in the direction of the grain.
• After 15-30 min’s brush out excess to improve penetration and give a uniform finish.

Note: Do not create a film. TEXTROL® HES is not a surface coating, its place is in the wood not on the surface.
