Aqua MHO-86/tm Wood Oil

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%

Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%

Wood which is rich in active substances should be weathered for a few weeks or cleaned with Wood Cleaner before being treated for the first time in order to prevent delays in the drying process.

Use an agent such as Wood Cleaner to remove any dirt, grease and old coatings that could form a film, making sure not to leave any residue.

Clean any greyed wood surfaces with Wood Revitalizer.

Remove algae with Green Growth Remover*. (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.)

In order to avoid the use of wood preservatives as far as possible, the construction should be designed to be water-repellent (avoid horizontal surfaces, open end-grain wood, capillary joints, water and moisture accumulation points, contact with splash water, sharp edges). Pre-treatment with Wood Impregnation [eco] improves the hydrophobic effect.

Exterior wood that needs to be protected against soft rot and blue stain must be pre-treated with a suitable wood preservative* (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).

Stir well.

Brush, spray or apply with a board coating machine

Flow cup gun: nozzle size: 1.6 - 2.0 mm; atomiser air pressure: 1 - 2 bar

Treat all sides (of decking) on the first coat if possible.

Remove or smooth out any excess material (especially in tongues and grooves) immediately.

Apply a further coat if required.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

Before coating technically modified woods and wood-based materials, apply the product to a trial surface and conduct a suitability test on the desired area of use.

The clear variant does not protect against UV radiation (greying) and should therefore be used only on wood elements not directly exposed to weather (i.e. protected against direct sunlight, precipitation and wind). If a clear coating is desired on a directly exposed exterior surface, apply several coats and refresh at regular intervals.

Rainfall may cause water soluble substances to bleed from wood that is rich in such substances, e.g. oak, red cedar, afzelia, redwood, etc. This may lead to the discolouration of light-coloured masonry or render.

Cut end-grain surfaces at the bottom to create a water-drip edge.

Regular reapplications are required in areas exposed to weathering.

The product should not be applied at the same work stand as NC-based varnishes or stains. Collect any textiles soiled with the product (e.g. cleaning rags, work clothing) in fire-resistant waste containers and dispose of properly.

When coating technically modified woods and wood-based materials, the surface properties of the product may differ from those of natural woods. Before coating, a trial application and a suitability test must be carried out to check compatibility, adhesion, weathering behaviour and colour. Different maintenance intervals may apply. In particular, please also take into account the specific instructions for surface treatment provided by the respective manufacturer.
If you have any further questions, please contact Remmers Technical Service.

*Information about self-ignition

In external tests, the tested product exhibited significantly lower reactivity than conventional reference products that dry by oxidation. The risk of self-ignition is therefore classified as lower.

It should be noted that the tests carried out by EPH could not take into account all possible scenarios that might occur in practice. For example, contact of objects and media contaminated with this product, such as rags or dust, with other highly flammable agents, such as dust containing cellulose nitrate or certain solvents, could lead to conditions that result in ignition.

Avoid excessive overspray.

Leave fresh spraying dust to dry before sweeping up.

Collect spray mist in fireproof waste containers and spray regularly with water to prevent self-ignition of the spray mist, especially if large quantities accumulate.

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.

Drying may take longer depending on the type of wood, e.g. oak, due to substances it contains.

Brush with synthetic bristles, flat brush (synthetic bristles), flow cup gun, board coating machine

Clean tools immediately after use with water and detergent.

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Use the contents of open containers as quickly as possible.

Approx. 60 - 80 ml/m² per coat

Higher application rate on rough and grooved wood.
Application rate depends on the absorbency of the substrate.
Determine exact quantity by trial application.
Max. 2 coats, apply a thin coat. One coat is sufficient for renovations.
Remove excess material (especially in grooves) immediately.

DIN EN 71-3 "Migration of certain elements":

This product complies with the limits for the migration of heavy metals to children's toys according to DIN EN 71-3 and thus fulfils one of several further requirements for the safety of children's toys according to the EU "Toy Directive" (2009/48/EC).

Brush surfaces thoroughly and do not use any high-pressure water jet equipment or aggressive cleaning agents.

Please observe the “Care Instructions for Wooden Garden Furniture”.

On planed larch and softwoods with a high resin content, the coating may have reduced adhesion and resistance to weathering. This is especially the case on horizontal year rings, knots and areas of winter growth that are high in resin. Maintenance and renovation must be carried out more frequently on these surfaces.
The only remedy for this is pre-weathering or very coarse sanding (P80).
If these wood types are rough-sawn, considerably longer maintenance and renovation intervals are to be expected.

On terrace surfaces in the area of swimming pools, the increased exposure to chlorine, cleaning agents and intensive moisture can lead to reduced adhesion and weathering of the coating. Shorter maintenance and renovation intervals must be expected here.

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
