Organowood 02. Surface Protection by OrganoWood

OrganoWood 02. Surface Protection is a water based wood preservative product developed to improve the wood’s exterior protection against dirt and water. The product consists of silicon minerals and natural plant substances. OrganoWood 02. is easily absorbed by untreated wood materials, pressure treated wood, as well as as timber treated with OrganoWood 01. Wood Protection. The product can also be used on other timber, for example, traditional pressure impregnated, larch, heartwood and spruce. The treated wood receives an outer protection and in combination with OrganoWood 01. creates complete wood protection.

OrganoWood 02. binds to the fibres in the timber thanks to the award-winning and patented OrganoClick technology for the modification of biofibres. When the liquid cures, an extremely water repellent (superhydrophobic) surface is created around the wood fibres, which reduces the penetration of moisture, water and waterborne dirt. Furthermore, the timber’s moisture movement decreases, which counteracts crack formation and results in a more even greying process. The product has a whitish colour, but dries transparent. The treated wood takes on a beautiful silver grey hue with time.

The OrganoWood wood protection system is comprised of three products: 01.Protection du bois, 02. Surface Protection, and 03. Wood Cleaner. Together they create a durable and comprehensive wood protection system that protects the surface against fungal attack and provides better flame protection.

OrganoWood 02. Surface Protection contains only substances that can be returned to the natural cycle.

Directions for use

Application

Untreated or pressure treated wood, new or old, must be cleaned prior to treatment with OrganoWood 03. Wood Cleaner. Oiled, painted or surface treated wood must be sanded before treatment to open the wood fibers. Painting prior to the treatment is not possible as the wood protection is not compatible with paint (e.g. glazing paint). Perform the treatment on dry wood at a temperature of at least 10 °C and with as low a risk of rain or dew. The liquid can react with glass, if there is a risk of the liquid coming into contact with the glass, cover the glass. If possible, treat all sides prior to installation. OrganoWood 02. coverage is about 8-10 square meters per liter (85 sq. feet/liter).

Shake/stir the tin/liquid and pour out the required amount of liquid in a separate plastic container.
Apply the product following the wood grain using a brush or roller.
Allow to dry for about 2-4 hours.
Maintenance is performed if necessary with OrganoWood 02.

Saw cuts

We recommend that visible wood ends are treated with OrganoWood 02. for optimal protection.

After-treatment and maintenance

In the event of soiling or unwanted superficial growth (e.g. algae), wash the timber with OrganoWood 03. Wood Cleaner. After washing we recommend the decking is treated with OrganoWood 02. This to create a more hydrophobic surface and to minimise the risk of unwanted growth and the amount of dry cracks. On account of the denser structure and hydrophobicity created on the surface of the timber when treated with the wood protective system from OrganoWood, traditional paint does not penetrate into the timber in the same way as normal timber. Consequently, OrganoWood treated timber should not be painted.

Greying process

Timber that is treated with OrganoWood 01. and 02. wood protection takes on a grey hue over time. The greying process can appear differently during the seasons and depending on the weather conditions. In some cases the greying may initially be perceived as speckled or as dark spots/fields, but this evens out relatively quickly. After about 1 year, an OrganoWood timber that is placed outdoors in direct sunlight already has a grey hue. In shadow this may take longer, but the end result is the same. Wood installed horizontally often has a faster greying process than wood installed vertically.

Cleaning equipment

After the use of the wood protective system from OrganoWood, all equipment must be cleaned thoroughly with water. If the equipment has previously been used together with other chemicals, always clean the equipment before use in order to prevent problems with any possible chemical reactions.

Storage

The product should be stored in a sealed container at 10–30°C and is then stable for at least two years. An expired product should be handed in at the nearest recycling station.

FAQ

Can OrganoWood be used on horizontal surfaces as well as sidings?

Although OrganoWood products are relatively new to the Canadian market, they have demonstrated their effectiveness in several European countries with astonishing results, combined with ease of use and minimal maintenance. OrganoWood products are perfectly suited for this type of project and provide a Scandinavian-inspired gray-silver aesthetic as well as great protection and durability. Be sure to carefully consult the technical data sheets for both necessary products, namely Product 01. (Wood Protection) and Product 02. (Surface Protection). For regular care and maintenance, OrganoWood Product 03. (Wood Cleaner) is the recommended product.
