Treatex Bangkirai Oil - Weather Protection & UV Resistant Wood Finish
Treatex Bangkirai Oil is an external wood finish which provides long term protection from UV rays and weather damage. It is designed for use on timbers such as bangkirai, yellow balau, karri, massaranduba, iroko and ipe. The oil penetrates the surface of the timber attaching to the wood capillaries to provide hardwearing protection, making it ideal for decking, garden furniture and other exterior joinery.
Manufactured on a base of sustainable raw materials which include sunflower oil, safflower oil and soybean oil, Treatex Bangkirai Oil is the perfect choice for you and the environment.
Please be aware that Treatex Bangkirai oil is not suitable for tannin rich woods such as Oak. For timbers high in tannins, we recommend Treatex External Oak and Treatex External Oak Protection.
