Description

Rystix Armadek

Timbacare "Armadek" is a superior quality WATER-BASED protective sealer specially designed to protect and beautify outdoor wooden decks and furniture, but can be used on any outdoor timber. (On horizontal surfaces in hot, dry climates preferably use the solvent-based Timbacare
Exterior Sealer).

Armadek forms a tough wear-resistant coating on the timber surface andcontains special agents to prevent dry-rot, attack from insects and fungus and offers good protection against the harsh UV rays of the sun. It is not a varnish and therefore will not flake or peel if applied to clean, dry surfaces.

The product is quick-drying, easy to apply and low in odour, and available in several translucent shades.

Armadek - Key Points:

• Water based Acrylic resin base (provides an extremely tough coating finish suitable for high traffic situations such as decking).
• Layer building product (this provides UV protection as opposed to a penetrating oil which does not provide UV protection because it does not build a film layer).
• Contains UV filters and protects from fungi and insects.
• Not suitable for application to timbers with high natural oil content which are traditionally very difficult to coat in a horizontal situation (Cedar, Ipe, Teak, Massaranduba).
  

Instructions for use:

• Stir thoroughly before use to prevent settling out of drying and protective agents.
• Ensure timber is clean and dry before coating.
• Apply 3 even coats without dilution. (First coat - primer coat, second coat - undercoat, third coat - finishing coat).
• On all horizontal top surfaces an additional coat is recommended.
• Never "slap" Armadek on heavy & thick, this retards drying and reduces toughness.
• Allow a minimum of two hours drying time between coats. Although Armadek is exceptionally fast-drying, drying time can be affected by conditions such as weather, and type of wood species and surface.
• Do not coat in damp conditions
• Applies to any timber type (softwood or hardwood but not timbers with high natural oil content).
• Allow each coating to dry thoroughly before applying an additional coating (normal drying time of 1-2 hours).
• For best results apply an additional coat within first 12 months. Using a medium / fine grade sandpaper or sanding pads if necessary, lightly sand and thoroughly clean the surfaces before applying this coat. The surface can also be cleaned with a mild detergent / solvent to remove dirt / impurities. (Any resinous wood knots or areas subjected to bird droppings, oil spillages, etc, will require additional cleaning).
• Old or previously varnished timber: Remove all traces of old coatings by sanding and/or scraping prior to applying Timbacare Armadek, as recommended for new timber above.

Application Tools:

Rystix can be applied using any of the following methods:

1. Brush on using a regular soft bristle brush .
2. Spray on using a garden sprayer.
3. Roller (medium pile).

Coverage:

• 10-12 m2 per litre on soft woods
• 12 - 14 m2 per litre on harder woods

Good Application Practice:

• All new timber to be coated with Armadek must be prepared with a fine sanding in the direction of the grain. Ensure timber is clean and dry before coating.
