Exotic Wood Saturator SBE600 Matt, Colourless or Tinted- Wood Terrace

Applicable as a single coat, non-film-forming and non-scaling, it is ideal for terraces, pool surrounds, garden furniture, gates, pergolas, joinery and other exterior surfaces made of exotic woods such as Ipe, Teak, Garapa, Sipo, Massaranduba and other species. Available in colourless matt or in different colours ranging from teak to grey.

Caution: the "Colourless (pigment-free)" version contains no pigments and provides less UV protection than the tinted versions. The maintenance to be provided can be more frequent.

HOW TO USE THE SATURATOR

PREPARE THE TERRACE OR OTHER EXOTIC WOOD SURFACE

• The wood must be clean, dry, dust-free and without traces of old finishes.
• On old finishes, strip, clean, or sand down to the raw wood. Dust carefully.

APPLICATION OF THE SATURATOR

• Ready to use product. No dilution is necessary. Shake well before application for good pigment dispersion.
• Make sure that the ambient temperature is between +10°C (50F) and +35°C (95F).
• Apply the saturator in the direction of the wood fibres using a brush, spalter or roller (short bristles), in 1 regular and fine coat. For very absorbent substrates, apply a 2nd coat after a minimum drying time of 2 hours but not more than 24 hours.

DRYING

• Allow to dry. Wait at least 24 hours before putting back into circulation.
• Take a few precautions during the first few days.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE APPLYING THE SATURATOR

• Do not apply in direct sunlight and in temperatures above 35°C (95F) or below 10°C (50F).
• Do not apply on wood that is grey, blackened or with the presence of mould (black spots). .
• Do not apply in rainy weather

PRECAUTIONS AFTER APPLICATION OF THE SATURATOR

It is important to take a few precautions during the first few days:

• Do not cover the terrace or support with exotic wood.
• Do not move heavy garden furniture on newly protected terraces.

TIPS

• To appreciate the final result, first test the saturator on a drop or an inconspicuous area. To get an idea, you can consult the  photo gallery Exotic Wood Saturator SBE600
• Thoroughly brush off any salt build-up from new exotic woods before application.
• Application of the saturator with a sprayer is possible for large terraces.
• For new wood (less than three weeks of exposure), before treatment, brush your deck with a black Soap such as the Liquid Black Soap SN8000. This will allow you to open your wood and facilitate the application of your product.

MAINTAINING AND RENOVATING YOUR TERRACE OR EXOTIC WOODe

MAINTAINING YOUR EXOTIC WOOD

• Maintain as soon as the shade of the wood becomes lighter and duller under the action of the weather and the sun's UV radiation.
• As an example, on Ipe decks, the average maintenance frequency for customers who have applied Exotic Wood Saturator - Ipe colour is 2 years for one coat applied!
• It is not necessary to sand the terrace, garden furniture or any other surface to be protected before applying the maintenance coat. This represents a significant saving in time and/or cost.
• On clean and dust-free wood, simply apply a new coat of Exotic Wood Saturator SBE600.

RENOVATE YOUR EXOTIC WOOD

• After cleaning the exotic wood (with theWood Cleaner N100), apply Exotic Wood Saturator SBE600 in one coat on the most stressed substrates.

Oil, Stain or Saturator? The ideal product.

Protecting a terrace is important for its durability. Follow our guide to guide you in choosing the most ideal product for exotic wood decks.

Exotic woods, or tropical woods, include a group of woods from Asia, Africa or Latin America. These woods, which are more expensive than the autoclave woods found in Europe, are however more resistant and more colourful than the latter. We can find in this list of woods Iroko, Teak, Wenge or Ebony. These woods are mostly used for terrace construction. However, they are less sensitive to weather and climatic conditions. It is therefore advisable to protect them with a product that meets the needs of this type of wood, such as our Exotic Wood Saturator SBE600. However, owners of these woods do not want to lose the magnificent colour of their wood nor its beautiful appearance, so it is recommended to apply a colourless matt rendering saturator.
