Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative why you must use it.

March 7th, 2012

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

 
Water is timber’s greatest enemy. Most paints and stains attempt to control water and water vapour movement in timber by forming a surface film that encapsulates the timber, aiming to keep water out.

UV and wear causes film breakdown which allows free entry of water and water vapour into the wood

 

 

heat causes water to turn to vapour which creates internal pressure

film coating deteriorates more

free moisture exchange causes shrinkage and swelling, loss of dimensional stability, greater susceptibility to fungal and mould attack.

 

CUTEK™ however, 

 does not encapsulate but diffuses through the timber controlling moisture from the inside
 
 signicantly slows down the rate of moisture exchange between wood and the environment 

 stabilises timber by controlling moisture for many years, minimising movement 

 remains mobile inside the timber and exhibits a ‘self-healing’ characteristic by migrating into cuts
 
 Cutek is available in Canada at major building material retailers such as Home Hardware, Rona, Castle and Tim-Br Mart stores or can be purchased online at www.myocstore.com

Traditional film-forming coatings vs CUTEK™

February 4th, 2012

Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative

Water is wood’s greatest enemy. Most paints and stains attempt to control water and water vapour movement in wood by forming a film surface that encapsulates the timber, aiming to keep water out.

 

 

 

 

 

In only a short time,

• UV and wear causes film breakdown which allows free entry of water and water vapour into the wood;

• heat causes water to turn to vapour which creates internal pressure;

• the film coating deteriorates more;

• free moisture exchange causes shrinkage and swelling, loss of dimensional stability, greater susceptibility to fungal and mould attack.

CUTEK™ however,

 

 

 

does not

 • -fuses through the wood controlling moisture from the inside;diencapsulate but

 

 

signicantly

slows down the rate of moisture exchange between wood and the environment; 

 

 

stabilizes wood

by controlling moisture for many years, minimizing movement; 

 

 

remains mobile 

inside the wood and exhibits a ‘self-healing’ characteristic by migrating into cuts; • is not a film so 

 

does not need to be removed

before recoating, greatly simplifying maintenance.

Cutek Green Wood Preservative selling well in Canada.

May 28th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Otter Creek is the Canadian Distributor for Cutek Green Wood Preservative. Company officials have received very positive feedback from customers with added interest increasing on a daily basis.

Otter Creek performed many tests with the product prior to bringing the product into its stain and seal lineup. With the harsh Canadian winters and the ever increasing extreme temperatures from hot to cold you need a wood preservative product that can stand up to these conditions, said Robert Abbott, President of the company.

Not all stains and sealers perform in the same manner and customers continue to complian to us that the product they are applying to their deck surface is just not standing up. Its either complains about peeling and cracking or extreme fading. In some rare cases complete breakdown of product has been reported. I must admit that I sometime think its an over reaction to the expectations of customers with the product they are using either by being told by the company that sold the stain or sealer product to them or their understanding of the product they purchased.

No matter which product you purchase and what you are told ALL STAINS with fade over time and reapplication is a fact of life with a wood deck surface and a wood deck will never be totally maintenance free. However, you can purchase products that will reduce and save your deck from continuous maintenance every year and also that will preserve your deck for many years.

You may say I’m trying to be partial to a product our company sells and I can understand people feeling that way BUT this product by far is the best stain, seal and preservative product I have come across EVER.

I’m so confident in this product that if any customer calls and complains the product did not meet with their expectations will refund the product purchase no questions asked. If you would like to learn more or purchase this product please call us at toll free 1-800-981-3590 or you can visit our online store at www.myocstore.com

Cutek Green Wood Preservative for wood decking.

May 26th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I tried this product on a pc of Pressure Treated Spruce and within a matter of minutes it had soaked entirely through the entire pc of wood. I have used several other wood preservatives and have never seen anything like this product. This product will seek out the water filled cells within the pc of wood and migrate to the cells and drive the moisture out. It does make sense when you think about it. If you have little or no moisture within a pc of wood the less likely you would get rot, twist and warp of your deck boards. I also like the fact that this product acts not only as a wood preservative but also seals and beautifies your deck. The Cutek Green comes in clear 5L containers and there are 18 different colors that are contained within packets and you simply pick your color and pour and stir into the clear Cutek. This product was formulated by a company in Australia called Chemisys Group where for many years they have developed effective stains and sealers for Australian species of wood that are subject to the extreme temperature conditions in that country. They are now bringing their product to the North American marketplace so decking contractors and homeowners will have available to them this really great product.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor and product can be purchased through them by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com
