Wood preservative PINOTEX CLASSIC Colourless AE, 3L — water-based protective treatment for exterior and interior wood

PINOTEX CLASSIC Colourless AE is a water-based wood preservative in a 3-litre formulation designed to protect timber surfaces against moisture, fungal decay and UV-induced deterioration while preserving the natural appearance of the wood. The colourless formula penetrates wood fibres to seal and stabilise the substrate without obscuring grain or altering the original tone. The product is suitable for both exterior and interior use on cladding, decking, fences and various woodwork where transparent protection and breathability are required.

Advantages

The transparent water-based composition provides effective protection from moisture and common wood fungi while allowing the wood to retain its natural look and texture. It penetrates deeply to reinforce wood fibres, reduces swelling and shrinking caused by humidity changes, and offers UV resistance to slow down greying. The 3-litre pack size is practical for medium-size projects and the formulation is compatible with brush, roller and spray application methods for flexible use on different surfaces.

Suitable for

• Exterior cladding and façades
• Wooden decking and terraces
• Garden fences, gates and pergolas
• Interior woodwork such as trim, panelling and furniture components

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry and free of dust, grease and loose particles. Stir the product before use and apply evenly along the grain. For exterior applications, treat end grains and cuts to reduce moisture uptake. Apply with a brush, roller or low-pressure spray to achieve sufficient penetration; excess surface residue can be removed with a lint-free cloth after a short open time. Allow adequate drying between coats if a second application is required and follow local drying time recommendations for temperature and humidity conditions.

Usage recommendations

Test the product on a small inconspicuous area to verify appearance and penetration on the specific wood species. For best long-term protection, ensure regular inspection and maintenance of exposed timber and reapply the treatment when signs of wear, reduced water repellence or greying become evident.
