Teak Saturator SK600 Matte, Clear, Tinted - Decking and Garden Furniture

Teak Saturator SK600 easily penetrates the wood while preserving its beauty and natural appearance. With its formula concentrated in pigments and UV protection, it maintains and revives a natural “teak” colour. It provides a matt finish to outdoor teak and exotic woods. As the saturator does not form a greasy film on the wood, it will not peel or flake.

Teak wood becomes more resistant to moisture and wear caused by weather conditions and foot traffic after application of the saturator. Your wooden outdoor structures and furniture (decking, garden furniture, pergolas, tables and benches) are therefore more durable.

Maintenance is easy: simply apply a new coat of product using a flat brush, wide brush or sprayer to the wooden surfaces that need renovating. This tinted saturator contains honey-brown pigments that revive the colour of teak decking, garden furniture and duckboards. In addition, the pigments provide extra protection by acting as a filter against the sun’s UV rays.

Applying the teak saturator offers many advantages. In particular, it provides effective protection for teak decking around swimming pools, as it resists water stains, greying and chlorinated water. Saturating the wood limits water absorption by the material. This enhances and protects your outdoor exotic wood surfaces, whether made from teak or another exotic wood species.

How to Apply Teak Saturator

The application process is very simple and consists of three stages: surface preparation, application and drying.

Surface preparation

If the outdoor teak surface is new, it is important to leave it exposed outdoors for 3 to 6 weeks so that the wood can weather, open up and absorb the product more easily. After this period of exposure to the weather and sunlight, clean and remove any dust from the surface. If the outdoor teak is grey, dirty or has traces of old finishes, carry out a thorough cleaning using our N100 Wood Cleaner (or the concentrated version, N140 Concentrated Wood Cleaner). You can use a wood degreaser such as DG105 Outdoor Wood Degreaser if the wood is clean but has simply turned grey. If necessary, sand the surface to remove old finishes such as paint or wood stain.

Applying Teak Saturator

The saturator is ready to use. Simply stir it thoroughly before application. You can then apply it to your decking or garden furniture using a flat, wide brush. Apply the saturator in the direction of the wood grain for the best finish. Make sure to spread the product evenly so that it penetrates properly and does not leave excess product on the surface. Allow it to dry for 2 hours before applying an additional coat if necessary. A second coat should only be applied if the teak can still absorb the saturator. Otherwise, a second coat is not recommended.

Drying

Wait 24 hours after applying the saturator to decking or teak garden furniture before using it. This allows the surface to dry properly. However, certain precautions should still be taken during the first few days.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

• Warning. Follow the precautions for use.
• H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Precautions Before Applying the Saturator

Take the following precautions before applying the saturator:

• Do not apply the product during rainy weather.
• Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or above 30–35°C.
• Do not apply to greyed, blackened wood or wood affected by mould or fungi.

During the first few days after applying the saturator, avoid covering the treated surface so that it can dry properly. It is also advisable not to move heavy objects across the surface immediately after application, as this could leave marks.

Professional Tips

Teak Saturator SK600 can be applied using a sprayer on large surfaces. We recommend testing the product on a small area first to assess the final appearance and become familiar with this more technical application method. It is important to ensure that an even amount of product is applied and that it penetrates the wood properly. After spraying, spread and work the product into the wood using a wide, flat brush. New exotic woods such as teak should be thoroughly brushed before application. For older teak surfaces, thorough cleaning may sometimes be necessary to remove deposits and mould using an antifungal cleaning product such as N100 Wood Cleaner. To restore the wood’s colour before applying a saturator, use a wood degreaser such as our DG105 Outdoor Wood Degreaser.
