Full product details, applications & manufacturer specifications
A penetrating water-borne finish for interior or exterior wood, especially siding in wet climates.
Natural, semi-transparent and solid colour choices are available. Sansin describes a two- or three-coat system, with SDF Topcoat for richer satin build and durability. A single matte coat is an option for shorter timelines with sufficient pigmentation; follow the technical directions for tint loading. The finish repels water while allowing wood to breathe.

Manufacturer sheet reviewed: ideal application temperature is 21°C at approximately 50% relative humidity. Do not apply when rain or near-freezing temperatures are expected, on wood warm to the touch or in direct sunlight. Keep the coating free of rain for 24 hours. No hard numeric air or surface minimum/maximum or measured wood-moisture limit is specified. The near-freezing restriction has no stated duration; storage temperatures and reference drying temperatures are not application limits. Cold or humid conditions extend drying.
Check the air, the actual surface, overnight conditions and the full drying or curing period. The current product label takes precedence.
