Effective, long-lasting surface protection for load-bearing structures and rafters
Colour: Light brown. Protect Brown is not intended for decorative treatment of wooden surfaces; its brownish tint serves as an indicator to ensure the treated surface is visible.
Consumption: 8…10 m²/L – planed board, 4…6 m²/L – sawn board, 30…60 L/m³ – dipping method. Maximum wood protection is achieved at a consumption rate of 0.2 L/m².
Drying time: 1…2 hours at a temperature of +23 °C and relative humidity of 50%, depending on weather conditions, wood type, and layer thickness.
Volume: 2,7 L – 4,5 L – 9 L
Solvent-based wood preservative for timber structures.
EU VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content limit values: subcategory h – 750 g/L. Maximum VOC content in the ready-to-use product: < 750 g/L.
Conditions of use for wood:
New or old undamaged wooden roof load-bearing structures (rafters, wall plates), floor and ceiling beams, and other concealed constructions where decorative treatment is not required. Suitable for treating and protecting wood material in humid environments, such as structures in contact with foundations. Can be used for outdoor treatment of wooden structures exposed to direct sunlight (fences, posts, boat decks, etc.). Do not use for treating open indoor structures or wooden surfaces in direct contact with water or soil.
New untreated or old undamaged wooden surfaces and wooden structures. Suitable for both sawn and planed surfaces. Do not use on surfaces with biological damage.
The wooden surface to be treated must be dry; the wood moisture content must not exceed 20%. The appropriate working temperature is above +5 °C, with a permissible relative humidity of up to 80%. The surface to be treated must be thoroughly cleaned of sawdust, dust, grease, old paint, oil, wax, and other contaminants. Decayed, rotten, or fungus-damaged wooden parts must be replaced with new ones. Surfaces affected by blue stain fungi or mold must be pre-treated with WoodClean wood cleaner or with a mold remover such as Biotol E or Biotol Spray (see packaging for instructions). Previously treated surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned using a scraper, stiff-bristled brush, hot air gun, or OPS Pro paint remover. Replace rotten boards with new ones. Galvanized fasteners are recommended for securing wooden elements. Untreated metal parts must be protected against rust before use. Work should not be carried out during rain or fog, in hot weather, or in direct sunlight. Pay attention to constructive wood protection methods – proper drainage, ventilation, and waterproofing of walls and roof.
The product is ready to use. Do not dilute! Stir thoroughly before use and during application. Apply to the surface with a brush along the wood grain several times using the “wet-on-wet” method until the wood is fully saturated or use the dipping method. Suitable working temperature is +5…30 °C. Avoid use in hot (above +30 °C) and windy weather, as rapid solvent evaporation prevents deep penetration of the product. To ensure uniform color tone, select products from the same batch. When using products from different batches, it is recommended to mix them together before use. Pay special attention to impregnating end grains and surfaces exposed to moisture. Maximum protection is achieved with a consumption rate of 0.2 L/m². If desired, surfaces treated with Protect Brown may be painted or re-impregnated, but not earlier than 3 months after treatment.
