Also available as a tintable paint please see Satinwood Anti-Viral Paint.

Safewood Satinwood is an effective anti-viral coating with the added benefit that it can be used over Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat to achieve Class B s2 d0 over existing multiple layers of abraded previously varnished wood and wood derivatives.

Unless protected with a treatment to kill enveloped Coronaviruses, flu and bacteria, hand contact with doors, frames, window sills and other wood create a potential infection risk.

Coronaviruses and bacteria remain contagious for weeks on hard surfaces like painted, varnished or stained wood. Safewood Satinwood destroys the casing on “enveloped” viruses leading to rapid disintegration, disrupts the breeding and causes disintegration of bacteria.

Microbial Protection to ISO 22196 & ISO 21702.

• Clean equipment with white spirit

Application Conditions

• Do not apply in temperatures under 5°C or above 30°C
• Conditions Maximum relative Humidity below 75%
• Wood should be fully dry
• Surface should be at least 3°C above the dew point

Drying Times

• In normal conditions product will be touch dry in 6 hours and recoatable in 12 hours

How It Works

Fire Varnish Basecoat expands in a fire, creating a fire protective barrier, insulating wood materials from flames, heat and oxygen to prevent  flamespread & fire penetration.

Safewood Satinwood controls toxic smoke and flaming particles.

New EU/BS EN Fire Standards Explained

• BS EN Class B replaces Class 0
• Today both Class 0 and Class B comply for escape routes, but Class 0 is being phased out
• New BS EN also protects from toxic smoke – safe ones are s1 and s2
• New BS EN also protects from flaming droplets – safest d0
• New compliant standards for corridors, stairs, lobbies are BS EN Class B s1 d0 and Class B s2 d0
