Barrettine Wood Preserver Treatment 5L Light Brown
A high-quality, high performance solvent based wood preservative. Penetrates deep into the wood and provides long lasting protection against wood destroying insects, wet/dry rot, and wood discolouring fungi. Can be used on pressure treated wood, treated timber or untreated wood. Suitable for rough, sawn or smooth timber. Coverage 5-6m2 per litre. Typically requires 2-3 coats.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This is a low odour, solvent-borne, ready to use
wood preservative which is odourless once dry. It actively protects against
wood destroying & discolouring fungi and wood boring insects. The high
penetrating ability of the product transports the actives into the wood and
provides some vapour permeability, whilst coloured versions also contain UV
fade resistant pigments, providing some protection from damaging sunlight.
As the finish is semi-transparent, the natural texture of the grain is visible
and the sheen is matt to satin, depending on wood smoothness and number
of coats.
READ ALL PRECAUTIONS & THE FULL LABEL BEFORE USE.
RANGE OF USE: Outside applications including inner and outer frames of
external joinery, doors, windows, facades, carports, shutters, summer houses,
gates and balcony railings. Also suitable for wood resting on the ground
/ hardstanding and not in constant contact with water, such as garden
furniture. Not suitable for any in-ground use or where the wood is subjected
to continual wetting, e.g. streams or ponds. Further information at

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Colour swatches are an indication only of the
product applied to clean, pale timber. The final colour and finish can vary
considerably due to the age, type & condition of the area being treated.
Wood surfaces must be clean and dry before treating. Always test an
inconspicuous area before starting any project to check product suitability,
compatibility and final dry colour. If using a stain / wood dye, apply the
colourant before the Preserver and test the effect on an off-cut.
New wood: If fungal contamination suspected, clean with Knockout Mould
& Mildew Cleaner. Tannin-rich woods should be weathered before use.
Renovation: All coatings should be completely removed. Pre 1960’s paint
may contain lead, take special precautions. If necessary, grey or deteriorated
wood should be sanded down to a clean, sound surface or treated with
Barrettine Wood Reviver. Remove dust by wiping with Barrettine White Spirit
or Methylated Spirits.
Application temperature: Ideally between 10 – 30°C. Wood should be
frost-free when treated.
Amateur / Professional uses: Protect environment (e.g. Soil, plants,
aquatic environment) from splashes. Do not apply in damp conditions or if
rain is imminent. Apply thinly and evenly using a synthetic brush designed
for solvent-borne products, in the direction of the wood grain. Ensure end
grain is thoroughly treated along with cut and drilled areas and reseal
container after use. 2 coats minimum are recommended, depending on
wood species and surface characteristics.
Drying time: 12 h under normal conditions (20°C/65% rel. humidity).
Allow 6–12 hours drying time (touch dry) between coats. Low temperatures,
increased humidity and composition of some wood types may increase
drying time. Multiple applications will provide a darker finish and smoother
wood will increase the sheen.
Cleaning of tools: Barrettine White Spirit or Brush Cleaner, immediately
after use.
Maintenance/Compatibility: Maintenance requirements will depend
on exposure and weathering. A top coat is not necessary over this product
but can be applied after 24 h drying time (normal conditions). Barrettine
Decking Oil, Log Cabin Treatment or a varnish/ sealer (solvent or water
based) will extend protection. Compatibility and adhesion should be tested
in a sample area first.
