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.
