Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural 11004

Description

Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural 11004 has been specially formulated in order to help preserve the natural beauty and tone of light coloured timbers. User friendly, easy application and fast-drying with great durability – the result is a hard wearing and attractive finish fitting for a wide range of situations and surfaces – including floors, doors and kitchen worktops – that are easy to maintain with our maintenance products and are spot repairable if the surface is damaged.

Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural 11004 is made from the finest natural ingredients of Jojoba, Sunflower oil, Linseed Oil, Beeswax, Candelila wax and carnauba wax with a small amount of white pigment. The white pigment helps neutralise the yellowing and darkening effect of clear oils, waxes or varnish keeping pale timber species such as Oak, Pine, Ash, Beech, etc.

Usage

Natural Hardwax Oil contains a small amount of white pigment which allows it to be used in two different ways:

Method 1 – as a base coat for lighter timbers: If you prefer to protect light timbers whilst changing the unfinished colour as little as possible then Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural can be applied as a base coat underneath two coats of Treatex Clear Hardwax Oil Ultra to neutralise the warming effect.

Method 2 – as a top coat for surfaces treated with Spruce Colour Tone: For a purer white, seal Spruce Colour Tone with two coats of Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural. When Treatex Clear Hardwax Oil is applied on top of our Spruce Colour Tone it can have a slight yellowing effect on the colour.

Please Note: Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural is not intended to be used in the same method as Clear Hardwax oil and should either be overcoated with 2 coats of Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear or should be applied as 2 coats over Spruce Colour tone as outlined above. Applying more than one coat of Natural on its own will usually result in a milky/patchy finish.

Treatex estimate the coverage rate to be approximately 25m² per litre per coat. The application method and various qualities of the timber may affect the coverage rate.

Preparation

We advise that when using Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural, sufficient product is purchased to complete the project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. We strongly recommend a small trial application prior to starting a project to ensure compatibility.

Method 1 – as a base coat for lighter timbers: Sand the surface to smooth bare wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper. Ensure that any previous finish has been fully removed. Remove dust, dirt and any other contaminates which may lead to uneven absorption of Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural. Make sure the surface to be treated is thoroughly dry. Stir tins and ensure product is at room temperature before use.

Method 2 – as a top coat for surfaces treated with Spruce Colour Tone: If you have applied a coat of Treatex Spruce Colour Tone within the last 24 hours then little preparation is needed. Make sure the previous coat is fully dry before overcoating with Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural. Remove dust, dirt, and any contaminates from the surface. Stir tins and ensure product is at room temperature before use.

Application

Method 1 – as a base coat for lighter timbers. Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural should not be used as a base coat on darker coloured timbers. To change the appearance of light coloured timbers as little as possible, brush/roller on a thin coat of Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural. Leave for 10 minutes and then slow buff with a soft pad to remove excess followed by finishing with a lint free cloth.

Alternatively, cloth the excess product by hand with a lint free cloth. If excess product is not removed the finish may dry with patchy white marks. Allow to dry – maintaining warmth and ventilation will enable the surface to dry within 3-6 hours. Once dry, seal with two coats of Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear which is available in Flat Matt, Matt, Satin or Gloss sheen levels (see: Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear).

Method 2 – as a top coat for surfaces treated with Spruce Colour Tone. For a brighter white, seal our Spruce Colour Tone by using a brush or roller to evenly apply Hardwax Oil Ultra Natural – maintaining warmth and ventilation will enable the surface to dry within 3-6 hours. Apply with a brush or roller a second coat of Natural Hardwax Oil. Allow to dry thoroughly overnight before the surface is lightly used. Usually ready to walk on after 8 hours and ready to replace furniture etc. after 18 hours.
