TWP 200 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

NOTE: TWP Clear does not contain ultraviolet screening pigments and will allow wood to age to a natural gray.

TWP 200 is a high solids penetrative coating for extending the service life of shakes, shingle or wood. It is designed to enhance the structural integrity and appearance of aged roofing or lumber. The product will minimize grain cracking, surface erosion, water absorbency and surface attack from mildew and algae. At 93% non-volatile solids, the product will add lubricity and re-bulk aged dried out wood fiber or brittle shingles. The product complies with all know state and federal VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) regulations

• TWP 200 Restores wood's moisture content and helps wood to stay flexible. It is designed to enhance the structural integrity and appearance of aged roofing or wood surface.
• TWP 200 Series will add lubricity and re-bulk the aged, dried out wood fiber of brittle shingles or wood.
• TWP 200 The finish composition will minimize grain cracking, cupping, curling, warping, surface erosion and water absorption
• TWP 200 Penetrates deep into the wood.
• TWP 200 At 93%+ solids, these products comply with all federal and state V.O.C. (volatile organic compounds) regulations.
• TWP 200 is highly resistant to attack from unsightly mildew, algae and moss.
• TWP 200 Blocks sunlight (UV rays) to protect natural wood colors for many years.
• TWP 200 Provides water barrier to prevent surface erosion and water leaching of natural wood preservatives into the wood pores and is not a surface film.

TWP 200 product line is designed for maximum wood protection where wood color maintenance or a bleached silver gray appearance is not desired. The finish not only maintains the dimensional integrity of the new wood, but also enhances reinforcement and lubricity of properly cleaned porous dried out old wood. The chemical composition is designed to minimize mildew, grain checking, water absorption, shingle cupping, and surface erosion providing the applicator with a state of the are wood protectant. Chemically, the active ingredients are compounded into highly refined paraffin oil. The products are very high in weight and volume solids, exceeding 93% non-volatile for application, and comply with all federal and state V.O.C. requirements.

TWP 200 PRODUCT USES:

Cedar shakes and shingles, piers and docks, wood decks, fencing, split rail fencing, landscape timbers, log homes, wood siding. Product may be applied to old and new wood surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

NEW WOOD: All new wood must be thoroughly saturated and exposed to either rain or water; to open wood grain and remove excess surface tannins. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 200.

OLD WOOD: Replace any cracked or severely cupped shingles. If the surface is 15% defective, it is advisable to re-roof. Rinse surface with 3:1 mix of water and household bleach to remove mildew; use wood bleach to brighten wood and follow with 1500 p.s.i. power washer to remove dead surface fiber. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 200.

PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD: Remove all of the old finish with power washing or paint stripper when necessary. Failure to remove the existing finish will result in a blotchy TWP® 200 applications due to uneven penetration and discoloration of aged finish.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING TWP 200! Airless spray is the most common method of application, though brush and roll may be used for smaller areas. After product selection and a minimum 24 hours of drying after cleaning, product may be applied. There are many pumping mechanisms to apply product. Avoid excessive over spray by adjusting pressure to minimize misting. Most commonly used is airless spray equipment in the 1/2 to 1-1/2 gals/min pump capacity. Do not apply below 40° F, or if rain is anticipated with 48 hours or heavy dew is present.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING TWP 200! Though this system is designed for non-traffic surfaces, it can be thinned with 25% Mineral Spirits for traffic areas. Over application is cautioned! Walking on TWP® 200 before it is dry will cause tracking. TWP® 200 should be applied at 100-250 sq.ft/gal. Rate will vary depending on wood porosity. Remove excess or puddled material that has not penetrated after 15 minutes on horizontal surfaces with a paint pad or dry roller. Single coat application only. Allow drying for a minimum of 48 hours.

DRY TIME: 48-96 hours depending on drying conditions. Drying conditions will vary greatly depending on applied film thickness and weather conditions.

THINNING AND CLEANUP:

Use mineral spirits for equipment clean up. No thinning necessary above 70° F. Below 70° F add up to a maximum of 1-quart/5 gals. of mineral spirits. Do not apply below 50°F or to damp surfaces.
