Old surfaces must not be sealed unless they are thoroughly clean and oil-free. Advise users to consult the tile manufacturer to determine whether special preparation is needed, and suggest they test Woodoc 45 on a small, inconspicuous area first. The product should only be used if it penetrates the surface immediately. It is not suitable for face-bricks. EASY, CONTROLLED APPLICATION Woodoc 45 must be stirred thoroughly before, as well as during application, with a flat paddle or spatula. It must not be diluted. It should be applied in one liberal, even coat using a large paintbrush, and care needs to be taken to avoid pooling. Very porous surfaces may require a second or third coat. Each coat must dry completely before the next is applied. Drying generally takes two to four hours, and the sealed surface should not be used for 24 hours. Coverage is approximately 5-12m² per litre per coat, depending on porosity. Always follow the directions on the container.

// Woodoc also cares for surfaces beyond wood // 50 | DIY & INDUSTRIAL TRADE NEWS SEPTEMBER 2026

NEWS COATINGS MAINTENANCE PROTECTS THE INVESTMENT Advise customers to sweep regularly to remove abrasive grit and to clean spills promptly. They must avoid using harsh abrasives that may damage the finish. When high-traffic- or weather-exposed areas show wear, customers should clean and prepare the surface before applying a fresh coat, following the instructions on the product container.
