Product Description

Rystix Exterior Sealer is a unique hybrid between a penetrating oil and a film building coating providing ultra long-life protection to all exterior timbers. The Sealer obtains a deep penetration into the timber which is the key into the timber and the foundation for the film building process, which provides UV and weather protection. Superior quality Exterior Sealer looks like a varnish but does not behave like a varnish as a long oil Alkyd resin base provides the product with tremendous flexibility to expand and contract and the sealer will therefore not peel or flake if applied to clean, dry surfaces. It has an exceptionally high degree of UV resistance and special agents to prevent against dry rot, surface insect and fungal attack. Exterior Sealer proved superior to market leading competitor brands when submitted to accelerated weathering tests by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. These facts are reinforced by extensive field testing which confirm that Timbacare performs the best over a longer period of time if applied in the recommended manner. Exterior Sealer has proven capability and durability in all climatic environments. Exterior Sealer is micro-porous allowing the timber to breathe and moisture to evaporate. The standard colour shades are highly translucent accentuating the natural beauty of the timber.

Colour Range

Exterior Sealer is available in Clear and 5 standard translucent shades with a gloss sheen: Clear, Natural/Light Yellow, Mahogany, Oak, Teak and Ebony. For enhanced UV protection one of the standard colours is recommended. The Clear variant can be tinted to any required colour by the addition of universal tints.

Recommended Uses

Exterior Sealer is recommended for use on all exterior woodwork likely to be directly or indirectly exposed to harsh weather and strong sunlight. Sealer’s unique hybrid behaviour enables long term treatment solutions for stable homogenous hardwoods (including Teak and Ipe) and softwoods (all softwood types including Cedar used extensively in the cladding industry). Exterior Sealer’s ability to provide an effective coating to these timbers with high natural oil content will only serve to emphasize its superior performance ability on other less oily hardwood and softwood timbers. Where product lifespan is likely to be determined by weathering rather than physical abrasion (see Armadek) then the choice should be to use Exterior Sealer. This product can be used to treat all timber types and application purposes include cladding, log-cabins, general outdoor wooden furniture, windows and doors, fencing, sheds and decking.
