Description

HEMPEL'S WOOD IMPREG is a clear alkyd oil with great penetration properties. It serves as a primer for hardwoods indoors and outdoors above the waterline. The oil penetrates deeply into the wood and ensures an even saturation of the substrate.

Application: The surface must be clean, dry, and free of grease; the wood moisture content must not exceed 16%. HEMPEL'S WOOD IMPREG is applied with a brush in 2–4 wet-on-wet coats. Excess oil should be removed with a lint-free cloth to avoid film formation. Once dry, it can be overcoated with suitable Hempel paints. Thinning and cleaning should be done with HEMPEL'S THINNER 811 (Item No. 2577-026).
