Description

Kreidezeit Safflower Multi Purpose Wax is a solvent-free, non-yellowing safflower oil/beeswax treatment for low-impact indoor wood surfaces – perfect for furniture, doors, beams and cladding.

Apply Multi Purpose Wax with a cloth. Apply with a paint brush on large surfaces if diluted 1:1 with Balsamic Turpentine.

Safflower Multi Purpose Wax brings out the colour of the wood grain and gives the wood a silky and anti-static surface. Can tint with pigments.

The high safflower oil content ensures that the product doesn’t dry too quickly and deeply penetrates into the tiniest of pores thanks to the small size of the molecules. The beeswax fills the pores of the wood and provides a surface with a lovely, warm feel.

Kreidezeit Safflower Multi Purpose Wax does not contain any solvents or water, and consists exclusively of natural oils and wax. It contains no ‘hidden’ alkyd resins produced from non-drying oils such as rapeseed, soybean or sunflower oil.

Not suitable for flooring, counter tops or outdoor use.

Composition (full declaration)

Safflower oil, chlorine-free decoloured beeswax, tung stand oil and manganese drier.

Coverage

Depending on the absorption of the substrate, approx. 0.05 to 0.10 litres per m² per coat.
Exact consumption rate to be determined on the actual substrate.

Application

Stir product thoroughly prior to processing. Remove any layers of oxidation caused during storage; do not stir in. Apply one or two coats of Kreidezeit Multi Purpose Wax, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second. The substrate may require sanding before applying the second coat.
The product must not be poured onto surfaces!

Clean and dust down untreated substrates.

To ensure good penetration, it is recommended to dilute the product with at least 20% Balsamic Turpentine for the first coat on very dense, poorly-absorbent and tannin-rich wood (such as oak).

1. Initial sanding
Sand the wood, rounding the edges. Do not use a finer sandpaper as this will make the wood too dense and unable to absorb enough oil. New, smooth, planed or finely pre-sanded wood should be rough sanded to ensure the oil can be absorbed.
Dust down thoroughly after sanding.

2. First coat
Apply Kreidezeit Multi Purpose Wax evenly with a brush, cloth or sponge. After 10-20 minutes, thoroughly wipe the entire treated area with a dry, lint-free cloth until the surface has a uniform satin appearance.
Ensure that all un-absorbed oil has been completely removed, as otherwise shiny or sticky patches may remain.
Kreidezeit Multi Purpose Wax must fully penetrate into the wood. It must not form a layer on the wood.

3. Re-sanding between coats (optional)
Re-sanding between coats is only required if the surface has dried rough, for example if wood fibres have dried
proud of the surface. Use sand paper in the direction of the grain.
Dust down thoroughly after sanding.

4. Second coat (optional)
A second coat may be necessary on more absorbent surfaces. Repeat as per the first coat.
