Prepare exterior timber with VIVACOLOR Villa Protekt

A primer for exterior timber VIVACOLOR Villa Protekt is an alkyd oil primer for exterior timber above ground. It is intended for sawn and planed wood before an oil- or acrylic-based topcoat. The product is colourless and transparent, with a matte appearance, and comes in a 20 L container.

Application and preparation

1. For exterior timber: Use it on exterior wood such as cladding, doors, window frames and fences. It can also be used on thermally modified timber. It is not intended for the inside surfaces of greenhouses.
2. Brush or immersion application: Apply by brush in the direction of the wood grain, or use the immersion method. Stir thoroughly before use, and take care to treat the edges and end grain of the wood.
3. Prepare the wood first: Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dust, dirt and loose paint. Ensure wood moisture is below 20%, air temperature is above +5°C and relative humidity is below 80% during application and drying.
4. Allow time for drying: Drying time depends on temperature and humidity. At +23°C and 50% relative humidity, allow 12 hours for the surface to become dust-dry and 24 hours before applying another coat.
5. Check the coating system: Use Villa Protekt as a preparatory coat before an oil- or acrylic-based paint. Check that it suits the rest of your planned coating system.
