Description
Treatex Iroko Oil is an exterior wood finish which provides long term protection from UV rays and weather damage. This product is manufactured on a base of natural sustainable raw materials including Sunflower oil, Soybean oil and Rapeseed oil. Iroko Oil is designed for use on timbers such as Iroko, Bangkirai, Yellow Balau, Karri, Massaranduba, and Ipe. . Treatex Iroko Oil is very hard wearing, which makes it the ideal finish for decking, garden furniture and other exterior joinery.
We recommend two coats of our Treatex Iroko Oil, and you should leave this to dry for approximately 12 hours to achieve the desired effect and protection.
With no biocides or toxic ingredients, our Iroko Oill is safe for use on children’s toys.
Suitable for: internal and external use

2.5L will cover approximately 50m² in one coat depending on timber and method of application. Old/dry/porous/rough sawn timbers will consume more product.
Preparation
Treatex Larch Oil works best on unfinished timber. Previous finishes which stop Treatex Larch Oil penetrating into the timber (e.g. paint and other ‘closed’ finishes) must be fully removed prior to application. Previous porous finishes should be lightly sanded before overcoating. When overcoating a previously finished surface, a trial application is essential. Flaking or peeling finishes must be fully removed prior to application. Ensure the timber is dry and free from possible contaminates e.g. algae, grease, dirt, dust etc. Timbers susceptible to decay, mould and fungi should be treated first with a suitable preservative. We advise that when using Treatex Larch Oil, sufficient product is purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. Timber must have a moisture content below 18%. Temperature must be between 8º𝖼 and 25º𝖼 during application and drying. We strongly recommend a trial application prior to starting the project.
Application
Stir tins thoroughly, before and during use. Use a brush or roller to evenly apply Treatex Larch Oil in the same direction as the wood grain. Pay particular attention to end grain, on end grain apply liberally. If possible, treat all sides of the timber for the first coat. After approximately 12 hours the first coat can be overcoated. Apply with a brush or roller a second coat of Treatex Larch Oil. After the second coat leave for approximately 12 hours to dry. Treatex Larch Oil is not a surface building product
