STAN PROTECT by OWATROL is a clear, penetrating tannin blocker that prevents the bleeding and leaching of tannins from woods high in extractives and also the discolouration of finishes on interior softwoods. Forming a barrier within the wood, STAN PROTECT blocks the tannins, preventing them from reaching the surface where they will discolour a finish or stain.

It is applied before film forming protection: stain, paint, glaze, varnish

You can overcoat STAN PROTECT with any film forming oil or water based stain (Semi-transparent or Opaque).

STAN PROTECT blocks up to 80% of rising tannins. Knotty woods such as pine need to be dried to less than 10% hydrometry. The product does not prevent resin from flowing out of knots.

Coverage: 107 to 129 ft2 – 10 to 12 m2/L coat.

Application temperature: +10°C to +30°C.

Dry: 2 hours / Recoat: 4-6 hours.

FAQ – I have an oak siding what should I do not to have a tannin rise?

Some woods are said to be “tannic” such as oak, chestnut, red cedar … They are subject to brownish spikes. STAN PROTECT is an insulator which limits and slows down this phenomenon thus preserving the beauty of the woods. Applied before a suitable finish it also help the adhesion of the finish.
