Combined hardness and elasticity

Teknos coatings dry to a hard but elastic finish. They penetrate deeply into pores to form a protective, flexible shield, which resists cracking due to the natural movement of the wood and maintains surface integrity.

Superior adhesion

Teknos coating systems provide outstanding adhesion. Primers, intermediates and topcoats are all formulated on a selection of compatible, premium quality binders, creating a high degree of synergy in the final coating system. 

The optimal protection and adhesion achieved throuogh formulation technology that enables nano particles to penetrate deeply into the wood 

Impregnation and wood preservative fluid contains actives that penetrate the wood Fluid evaporates but actives remain to protect the wood against fungus and decay.

Excellent stain locking

Specially developed products ensure excellent result on all timber species typically used in exterior joinery; resisting extractive staining on hardwoods and minimising discolouration from softwood knots. These water based antibleed and knot sealer products lock in extractives, significantly reducing opaque topcoat discolouration.

Low liquid-water permeability

Binder technology and the use of high-quality raw material combine to provide superior protection from exterior water damage. Teknos coatings virtually eliminate temporary cosmetic problems caused by moisture, such as white spots, and continue to repel water effectively over time.

High water-vapour permeability

Teknos coatings also allow wood to breathe; essential for keeping windows and doors in top condition. Teknos micro porous coating systems allow moisture vapour to pass through, allowing the timber moisture content to maintain equilibrium though the seasons and reduce the risk of moisture accumulating in the wood, eventually causing blue stain or decay. 

Water is repelled while moisture is allowed to escape.

Elimination of micro-foaming

Teknos coatings virtually eliminate the problem of micro-foaming – the formation of air bubbles that can burst and
admit moisture.

Effective protection of wood and colour against UV radiation

Improved resistance to dirt

Effective resistance to moisture

Teknos coating systems are carefully designed to safeguard your products against moisture. With both vacuum and superficial treatments, wood is thoroughly preservative treated and each layer in the system, from wood preservative to topcoat, contains highly effective fungicides. Teknos products are EN approved as required and our wood preservative systems and combi primers are typically approved to EN 152 against blue stain and EN 113 against decay.
