OrganoWood Protection 01 is a water-based breathable wood treatment product composed of silicon minerals and natural plant compounds. Its intended usage is for surface treatment of absorbing wooden products such as solid wood, particleboard, MDF-board, plywood and Masonite board. It protects the treated wood against rot-fungus and also gives flame retardant properties to the treated material.

Together with OrganoWood 02, a complete protection system is created which further increases the life-time of the wood, counteract damage by damp and superficial growth, as well as keeping the surface neat and fresh for a longer period of time.

Application

For absorbing woods such as pine and fir.

Should not be applied on wood with low absorbing capacity including timber from most hardwood. These may change colour after treatment.

Non-treated wood, new or old, shall be cleaned with a wood cleaning product before application. Oiled, painted or in any other way surface treated wood shall be grinded before application.

The surface of finished OrganoWood-treated wood shall be treated with OrganoWood 02, except at cut sections where OrganoWood Protection 01 also shall be applied.

Perform the treatment on dry wood in at least 10 °C and when there is a small risk of rain, dew or frost. The liquid could react with glass, therefore cover the glass if there is a risk for contact between the liquid and the glass.

1. Pour desired amount of liquid in a separate plastic container.
2. Apply the product in the direction of the woodfibres with a brush or roller.
3. Let dry for 6-10 hours.
4. Possible excess liquid on the wood may cause white salt precipitations. These may easily be brushed away using a nylon or steel brush, alternatively sandpaper before continued treatment.
5. Finish the treatment with Dirt and water protection.

Test and Classifications

Wood treated with OrganoWood Protection 01 has good flame resistance properties and will obtain an increased resistance to fungal decay. The product's flame resistant properties has been tested in the European test EN13501-1 and has by using surface coating (by dipping) on spruce panel (21×95 mm, 0,33 l/m2) obtained the reaction to fire classification Cs1,d0 in third party tests performed by Swedish SP – technical research institute of Sweden. Several other official tests (ISO 5660) has been performed by SP on spruce and pine, showing the efficacy of the flame retardant properties of the product.

Even though most materials will perform according to standard, there exist almost an infinite number of wooden materials. Therefore, no guarantee can be given, except for the material specified in the classification report (Cs1,d0) from SP, as whether the treated material will perform in the same manner as other material. For classification of materials outside these limits, other tests must be performed.
