Sansin-TimberTec

Description

Sansin Timber-Tec is a concentrated, penetrating wood protection system, offering an effective guard against weathering while providing active UV protection. Timber-Tec contains a proprietary mix of ingredients that protects against sapstain (or bluestain), mold, mildew, and fungi. Suggested for use on logs, timbers, and wood joinery products. Sansin Timber-Tec is intended as a priming application for logs 24-48 hours after being drawknifed and should be applied to clean logs that are not in ground contact. Sansin Timber-Tec can not be applied over previously finished or stained wood. Timber-Tec is available in two transparent formulas:

  • M-30 provides the natural light color of fresh pine. 
  • C-20 is a clear concentrate that provides a light honey color to the wood once it has dried. 

Sansin Timber-Tec contains solids that penetrate well, creating dimensional stability and water repellency and greatly minimizes cracks and checking. Sansin Timber-Tec provides active U.V. protection keeping wood pure during the construction phase. Note: If applied by spraying, it must be back brushed for proper application. Timber-Tec must also be power washed off of the logs before applying finish. *On some surfaces it will not be easily removed with powerwashing and may require a chemical stripper like Log-Gevity Citrus Strip or sanding.

FAQ:

What are the main differences between Timber-Tec and TM-5 First Treat?
Timber-Tec contains binders that help keep the treatment inside the wood (while others have a tendency to leach out after numerous post wetting cycles). Because TimberTec lasts longer, it requires a powerwash or sanding before applying a finish. Both come in clear and lightly pigmented formulas and are not freeze/thaw stable. TM-5 FT can be diluted 2:1 or 1:1.

Is Timber-Tec hazardous?
No, but do follow the manufacturer’s directions and warnings.

Does Timber-Tec C-20 (clear) / M-30 (light tone) affect the color of the stain?
No. Timber-Tec M-30 will retain a light color to the logs, while C-20 will look clear, more suitable for wood with darker tannins like cedar.

Can I use Sansin's preservative (Boracol 20-2) or PeneTreat (Tim-bor) with Timber-Tec? Yes; however, you need to apply Boracol or Tim-bor before applying Timber-Tec unless you clean the logs (power wash or sand) and apply either just before staining.

Should I dilute Timber-Tec?
Yes, 1:1 - add one part water to one part Timber-Tec (do not add Timber-Tec to Water).

Timber-Tec comes in Clear and Lightly Pigmented; what’s the difference?
M-30, a light colored concentrate retains the natural light color of fresh pine and C-20, is a clear concentrate more suitable for cedar or wood with darker tannins. However, M-30 can offer more UV protection on darker colored wood (if desired), this also means it should be sanded off before staining.
