TimberMin is a non-toxic, colourless, water-based, mineral substance which protects against all kinds of rotting and decomposition. Its novel principle of mineralization allows it to offer long-term protection against ageing wood (rotting); it also strengthens wood and offers preventive fire protection.
TimberMin is a non-toxic, colourless, water-based, mineral substance which protects against all kinds of rotting and decomposition.
Its novel principle of mineralization allows it to offer long-term protection against ageing wood (rotting); it also strengthens wood and offers preventive fire protection.
TimberMin can also be used to combat wood insects, including termites. With its safe ingredients and water base, TimberMin is environmentally friendly, and is not subject to labelling classification. TimberMin can also be provided dyed with environmentally friendly colours.
TimberMin therefore offers permanent non-toxic “basic protection” for all kinds of wood.
Its components mean that the image of wood (colour, appearance) is hardly changed in its colourless version. The wood surface will remain as natural and pleasant as ever. When it’s used for filling, its mineral contents show a slightly silvery / grey effect, like that which is to be expected after UV exposure (pre-greyed wood). After the wood surface has dried, it can be further treated, with wax, oil, varnish, or lacquer. Colour overlays must be removed beforehand.
It is best used in the treatment of construction wood (roof beams, rafters, and wooden stand constructions), or for wooden facades, to protect against weathering, insect infestation and fire, as well as wood strengthening. Softwoods become like hardwoods. TimberMin can also be used for cellulose-based products (such as corrugated cardboard) as a means of protection against rodents, fire, and moisture, as well as strengthening. In the domain of arts and crafts, there exists the option of protecting herbal components (such as leaves / autumn foliage etc.) against decomposition.
TimberMin – does not form a film; rather, it acts like a primer and penetrates deep into the soft components (sapwood / lignin) of the wood. It fills the wood cells with solid, non-combustible material. This means no changes to the natural surface structure of the wood.
Application:
TimberMin can only be applied on raw and untreated (and, therefore water-absorbing) wood. If there is an “old” coating already present, it may be necessary to ensure the thorough removal of this water-repellent barrier.
The wood moisture content should also not exceed 18% at the time of the application. The wood can normally be pre-dried before an application, to ensure the introduction of as much protective material as possible. The processing temperature should not be below 5°C. The product must be protected against frost.
