- Features
- Environmentally-friendly
- Penetrating water-borne alkyd formula
- Low VOC
- Molecularly compatible – creates a monolithic bond with wood for long term protection
- Deep wood penetration – ensuring wood stability and long term integral protection
- Dimensional stabilization – reduces warping, shrinking, checking
- Non-flammable
- Nano Tints – translucent, finely ground iron oxide pigments provide exceptional clarity and protection
- UV protection – designed for maximum UV resistance to ensure long term maintainability
- Repels water but allows evaporation – critical to long term wood stability
- Tintable Bases
Dec 0-base is used for Natural and Translucent tones. Dec 2-base is used for Saturated and Ultra Saturated colors. Use Dec 0-base to dilute colors in order to maintain clarity for maintenance applications up to 50%.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Method
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Cleanup
- Soap & Water
- Applications
- Horizontal wood surfaces
- Decks, balconies and fences
- New and old wood
- Cedar, spruce, pine, fir, pressure treated lumber and exotic hardwoods
- Preparation
- Inspect wood surfaces for defects and make any necessary repairs.
- Use Sansin cleaner and/or wash the entire surface with a minimum 3000 PSI pressure washer use clean water.
- Sand the surface well using a 60-80 grit paper and a variable speed orbital sander.
- Follow by power washing, vacuuming or using compressed air for proper cleaning. Surface must be clean, free from dust, dirt, grease,wax or any existing coatings.
Application Methods
Always flood the surface to the point of saturation
- Dipping
- Brushing
- Flood coating
- Spraying – hand or automated spraying (low pressure or airless)
Working Procedure
- Stir well before and during the application process.
- Test formula on an inconspicuous wood surface to ensure proper color and penetration.
- Apply in proper conditions: Ideal temperature of 21°C (70°F) and relative humidity of approximately 50%
- Do not apply if rain or near freezing temperatures are expected.
- Saturate the wood surface.
- Brush out any puddles and runs and level the finish.
- Do not apply on wood that is warm to touch.
- Do not apply in direct sunlight.
- Continually check the surface; wipe up all puddles and brush out runs.
- Maintenance
Horizontal surfaces require maintenance every 1-4 years. Maintenance is necessary when the surface shows signs of wear, such as fading or erosion. Maintaining your wood on a regular basis will ensure long-lasting color retention, exceptional dimensional stabilization and effective water repellency. Periodically, clean the wood surface with a power washer or Sansin Multi-Wash to remove dirt and residue. How frequently maintenance coats are required will depend on the quality of prior preparation, quality of application and exposure levels. If fading or erosion is evident, prepare wood by using a power washer to lightly clean the wood surface; or use Sansin Multi-Wash. Then re-apply one maintenance coat of Sansin DEC according to instructions. Exposure, workmanship and color will affect the performance of the coating.
