SiloTreat Wood is a wood impregnator that forms colourless protection and prevents the penetration of water and other liquids (eg coffee, wine) into the wood and helps to easily clean treated surfaces, giving them hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
How to apply the SiloTreat Wood impregnator?
SiloTreat impregnators are applied by spraying with airless spray guns (HVLP machines). In this way, the products will penetrate evenly and deeply into the wood.
The product is applied by hand.
I want to paint/tint the wood, can I change its colour after impregnation with SiloTreat Wood?
No, SiloTreat Wood impregnator is a final coating after which you will not be able to apply any other coating, including varnish.
If you want to paint/tint the wood in your preferred colour, you need to do it a few days before applying the SiloTreat Wood impregnator. You can use a water-based stain that does not seal the surface and thus allow SiloTreat Wood to penetrate the pores of the wood and protect it in depth.
Can I apply the impregnator to the varnish?
It is not recommended because most varnishes and paints seal the pores of the wood and thus prevent the penetration of SiloTreat molecules in depth.
The surface will be hydrophobized, but once the varnish/paint starts to peel, the hydrophobic effect will disappear. At the same time, the surface will not be protected and destruction processes will be inevitable.
If the wood you want to impregnate has been varnished, you must sand it until the old coating is completely removed, then impregnate with SiloTreat Wood.
How long after toning can the SiloTreat Wood impregnator be applied?
Make sure that the tinting coating is completely dry, then you can start impregnation with SiloTreat Wood.
How often should the SiloTreat Wood impregnator be applied?
Depending on the type of wood, the environment in which it is exposed and the method of impregnation, we recommend applying the product every 1-2 years or when the surface begins to get wet. The SiloTreat Wood impregnator works with accumulation, which allows the consumer to be significantly lower with each subsequent impregnation than the previous one.
