Wood ProDeck

  • No oil, no paint – no visible change to the treated material
  • Water and oil – even red wine- are resisted and cannot be absorbed into the wood
  • Resistant to seawater, salt spray and acid rain
  • Free of silicones, waxes and oils
  • Retains “working-properties” for up to 3 years without any rubbing-off
  • High coating efficiency due to the very thin required coating application

Wood ProDeck™ protects woods – especially hardwoods – against water saturation, swelling and rotting. Its breathing and practically invisible coating allows water and oils to simply “pearl-off” taking dust and dirt away. Dirt and stains simply cannot penetrate the wood and therefore there is no marking or flecking. Even in extreme cases of exposure to rain or condensation, the wood absorbs absolutely no moisture – it just remains on the surface where it can be easily wiped off or just allowed to evaporate. This means that drying time is drastically reduced and with no moisture in the pores of the wood, damage from frost prevented.

The product is ideal for all types of wood including untreated, absorbent and even pressure- impregnated structural timber. It is able to be used both for indoor and outdoor purposes.  In outdoor situations such as garden decking, bench seats and pergolas where moss, fungus, rot and algae are likely we recommend the use of Wood Prodeck AB which is an extended function version of Nanolia’s Wood Prodeck.

 

Always test a small sample to ensure that the desired result is achieved before proceeding with the main project. If in doubt, do not proceed.

Shake the product well. Use undiluted. The surface to be coated must be dry (wood moisture max. 18%) clean and free of fat/oil. Use a roller or brush to apply very thinly, but covering the entire surface. On absorbent surfaces a second coating is recommended “wet-on-wet”. The more the product enters the wood, the more the preservation lifetime is extended. Superfluous coating product can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth in order to prevent any stickiness. Please avoid putting used material back to the original package. Any materials close to, or adjacent to the surface to be treated do not need to be masked (i.e. glass or rubber seals). When applied to light coloured woods the result is a slight honey-colour. When Nanolia Wood Prodeck AB is used there will be a slight darkening of the surface. It is possible that some flecking/marking will appear if there are any traces of oil in the treated wood. Previously treated surfaces may be affected in different ways from the weather, and therefore may have various degrees of porosity. As a result there may be a minimal amount of “shadowing”. It is highly recommended to make a “trial-surface” on the surface type to be treated. The drying time is approx. 2 hours. To maintain the “pearling-off” effect a new coating should be applied yearly. The impregnation is active even if the “pearling-off” effect on the surface is reduced. After weather exposure all products may be overcoated with solvent-based paints.

Please note that the effect of impregnation is very much depending on the kind of wood to be treated. Some special tropical types of woods (e.g. Masseranduba aka Brazilian Redwood) are not able to bond with the impregnation. Details in the application vary depending upon the surface which is to be coated. We are happy to advise you fully in these cases.

Depending entirely upon the surface to be treated, and the method used, about 10 – 15m² can be treated with one litre of this product.
