Otter Creek seeks Canadian Retailers for Cutek Green Wood Preservative.

May 27th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Otter Creek, a  Canadian Distributor of Specialty Building Materials is seeking building retailers such as Home Hardware, Rona, Castle and Tm-Br Mart stores that are seeking a truely great wood preservative and UV protection product called Cutek Green.

Cutek Green is a special version that is manufactured to contain less than 200 grams/liter of volatile organic compounds, enabling it to used and specified on most “green” projects as a solvent based coating. Specifically, Cutek Green has been independently tested to ASTM 3960 and determined to contain 173 grams/liter. Cutek Green® is identical in appearance and performance to conventional Cutek® Wood Preservative with the exception that it diffuses into the wood substrate at a slightly higher rate and with less dry time.

Cutek as a clear

Cutek is suitable for use as a clear, water repellent preservative coating on exterior timber surfaces; however the clear coated timber surface will lightly silver with age to produce a natural weathered appearance, while retaining its dimensional stability characteristics.

If this natural silvering of the timber is undesirable, then color toned Cutek Wood Preservative must be used to delay the silvering process in addition to maintaining and enhancing the natural color of freshly oiled timber.

Otter Creek  would be glad to discuss retail opportunities within Canada by calling them at 1-800-981-3590. In the meantime this product can be purchased online at www.myocstore.com

Cutek Wood Preservative Products coming to Canada.

April 28th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after

In 2001 Chemisys Australia opened a manufacturing plant in Brisbane to produce Cutek for the Australian market. Together they service the Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australian markets

In 2011, Chemisys brought their product to the United States and Canada to expand the great results they achieved with their nature woods in Australia. This product can be used on all types of softwood and hardwoods such as Pressure Treated Pine or Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock, Oaks and Maples and can even be used on the increasingly poplular tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.

They believe the unique properties of Cutek will see it replace most other timberpreservative and coating products. “This all-in-one timber preservative and coating oil is unique because it deeply penetrates the timber substrate, providing superior water repellence and assisting with long-term dimensional stability,”

The success of Cutek in both the commercial and residential sector has been “quite spectacular.” Architects and builders are attracted to Cutek because of the reduced maintenance cycle and because it’s so easy to apply. “Cutek doesn’t require any special application tools or the use of any primers,”

Timber coated with Cutek only requires a simple wash down before re-coating. There is no sanding or stripping needed. Cutek is available in either a clear coat or a wide range of natural colour tones. Able to be used on any species of wood, Cutek enhances the natural beauty of wood without hiding the grain.

Another feature that appeals to the building industry is the fact that Cutek is best applied immediately. Other coating products need time for the timber to release its natural water-soluble extractives (tannins) before application. This 3-6 months waiting time is prohibitive for most commercial building. It also contributes to unwanted movement, shrinkage and staining of the timber. There has been a dramatic increase in requests for Cutek treated timber for large-scale exterior projects.
If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for your next project please contact Robert Abbott at Otter Creek and he can be reached at 1-800-981-3590 or by visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com

How to preserve a hardwood deck in Canada

November 30th, 2010

When it comes to preserving your hardwood deck in Canada I would recommend trying the Woodrich Hardwood Wiping Stain. We have distributed this product for two years in Canada and our customers are very happy with the results.

The Woodrich Brand Wood Restoration and Preservation System involves 3 easy steps for keeping your wood deck, wood fence, wood siding or log home looking it’s best year round.
 
1.  Cleaning your wood to prepare it for refinishing.
2.  Brightening your wood to get it looking it’s best.
3.  Finishing your wood with a premium oil based stain and sealer.
 
Our goal is to make the entire process as simple and straightforward as it can be!
 
There are a few basic things everyone should know.  If you have a new deck, wood fence, wood siding, log cabin or garden deck it will need to be protected.  Because no exterior wood finish will last forever, we recommend a high quality oil based wood stain/sealer.
 
We also recommend that all exterior wood be cleaned and neutralized before applying any stain or sealer.  All wood finishes perform better when the surface is properly prepared.  Going through the cleaning and brightening steps will also remove things you might not see like mold and mildew spores or oily hand prints from handling the wood during construction.
 
Once you have applied your wood stain, simple maintenance will keep the finish looking good year round.  Keeping the pollen off is important.  Rinsing off the dust and dirt every now and then helps, especially on wood decks.  Refreshing the finish when it shows signs of wear or begins losing it’s luster will keep your wood looking great for years!
You can purchase the Woodrich product at www.myocstore.com
