Recommended for use on all interior and exterior wood types, particularly Western Red Cedar & hardwoods such as Ipe & Yellow Balau, for decks, cladding, garden furniture, fences, stairs, boats and doors.

Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 will not blacken timber and replaces the natural oils lost from the wood through weathering and the natural elements. 

As Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 can be used both above and below the waterline, the finish is often specified for application in marine environments, such as on boat decks, marinas and pools. 

Saturating oil can be applied to both horizontal and vertical installations and can provide an excellent base for traditional underwater coatings where necessary. Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 is suitable for all types of woods, both soft and hard, whether oily or dense. 

Deks Olje D.1 provides a transparent finish which enhances the natural grain of the timber. The deep penetrating formula protects against moisture ingress and stabilies the timber.

For a satin-matt finish use Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 alone. If a high gloss finish is desired, use Owatrol Deks Olje D.2 as an overcoat.
