Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Comments: Hello, I am actually constructing many furnitures using Ipe wood from both interior wooden floor and outdoor post that have started cracking (future legs). Those furniture will be used inside (coffee table, table, tv stand and so forth). I wish to know which kind of product would you suggest me. Here are my concerns : 1- I would like to get a produced that would prevent the wood from turning gray. 2- I wish also the wood to look as natural as possible 3- I wish to be as green as possible (minimal VOC and stuff like it) 4- Get the best wood protection possible. 5- Based on the product you will suggest me, wish product will affect the dryed up finish (water, alcool, heat, .) Thanks a lot! Sébastien

Hi Sebastien, thanks for the information. I would strongly suggest using the Cutek Green product as this would work very well for a wood preservative and uv protection. We are the Canadian Distributor and we sell 1 gallon container for $119.50 + shipping.  Please visit the website and this will give you lots of information. It was developed by Chemisys Group in Australia.

After Using Cutrek Green Customer Replys……….

Hello Robert,
 
I have three technical questions regarding Cutek green.
 
First I must say that I am very impressed the way this products works.
 
1-       Would you suggest complete sanding before application, do I need to sand between application, is it recommended… (my wood is IPE)
2-       This product seems to get in so well within hardwood that I am planning trying it in guitar.
3-       To be frank before I put this wood preservative in a piece of work that would have taken me 150 hours, I wish to know :
a.       if this product increase the density of the wood,
b.       is the wood gonna become harder.
c.       does this product replace water, or simply seals it within the wood.

Hi Sebastien, glad you like the product. I have answered your questions below and if you would like to call me to discuss that would be fine.

1-       Would you suggest complete sanding before application, do I need to sand between application, is it recommended… (my wood is IPE)
No need to sand before application or between.
2-       This product seems to get in so well within hardwood that I am planning trying it in guitar.
Cutek Green can be used for any wood application
3-       To be frank before I put this wood preservative in a piece of work that would have taken me 150 hours, I wish to know :
a.       if this product increase the density of the wood,
Like any moisture bearing product it will increase the weight at initial application of the product but as product dries it should return to normal weight but no tests to verify this have been performed to date.
b.       is the wood gonna become harder.
Cutek Green would not make the wood harder.
c.       does this product replace water, or simply seals it within the wood.
Cutek Green replaces water (it seeks out water born cells within the pc)

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
