SiOO:X Wood Protection on Abodo Vulcan Cladding by reSAWN TIMBER co. for exterior cladding features a water-based and environmentally friendly finish, with a unique, patented formula based on silicon-potassium designed to accelerate the natural weathering process. Weathered wood is an aesthetic that is increasingly sought after but the challenge is, how to achieve it without taking the risk of uneven weathering on different aspects of the building, or in protected areas, such as overhanging eaves. SiOO:X provides a solution by mirroring the natural aging process and accelerating the creation of the silver-grey appearance and giving long life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way. SiOO:X penetrates the wood and gives a light surface that is pleasant to touch. Apart from the surface being beautiful, it also is a barrier to algae, mould and rot from gaining a hold in the wood. The surface is very easy to wipe down making maintenance simpler. The SiOO:X treatment reinforces and strengthens the wood surface. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE CLADDING TO BECOME SILVER-GRAY? The treated wood is initially yellowish brown and a bit mottled. The curing and bleaching process starts on contact with water, and after 6–12 months your panel will begin to have a lovely, even silver-gray color. The process then continues for up to 3 years. Vulcan thermally modified wood cladding is created from New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a patented vertical grain orientation for superior weathering characteristics. reSAWN TIMBER co’s Abodo Fine Sawn Face Vulcan Cladding provides a unique, textured surface with beautiful grain depth. This fine sawn texture opens the wood grain to allow for optimal coating performance. The thermal modification process and vertical grain structure means Vulcan cladding has superior stability and reduced resin content. Benefits of SiOO:X Vulcan Cladding: Outstanding dimensional stability Warranty: 15 years against fungal decay (contact reSAWN for warranty details) Moisture content: Approx. 7% MC (+/- 2%) at time of dispatch. Does not require acclimation prior to installation. Vulcan Cladding has little or no corrosiveness on most metals (equivalent to untreated softwood) and can be placed in contact with most building materials – normal PVA, PU, MUF glues and RF resins can be used. Expected dimensional change in structure: Width expansion approx 2%, length expansion approx 0.25%, thickness expansion approx 2.5% (from 7% MC to fiber saturation -variation will occur between boards). Vulcan Cladding is approximately 50% more stable than flat sawn Radiata Pine. Weight: 2lbs/sf (light weight cladding). ASTM D5824 – Delamination Resistance. ASTM D4442 – Moisture Content. Sustainable Attributes of SiOO:X Vulcan Cladding: Zero VOC Finish (0 g/L) Glue: New generation polyurethane adhesive – VOC, solvent and formaldehyde free. FSC®-Certified: Mix Credit Low carbon footprint: Abodo wood is an environmentally compatible substitute for carbon intensive materials. 100% recyclable and reusable, naturally renewable [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] RESOURCES: [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][ivan_icon_box icon_style=”normal” icon_pos=”left-title” size=”fa-lg” title=”Protector Oil Tech Specs” c_id=”.vc_1431114922915″ ico=”file-text”] [ivan_icon_box icon_style=”normal” icon_pos=”left-title” size=”fa-lg” title=”Protector End Seal Specs” c_id=”.vc_1431114922915″ ico=”file-text”] [ivan_icon_box icon_style=”normal” icon_pos=”left-title” size=”fa-lg” title=”reSAWN Master Usage Guide” c_id=”.vc_1431114922915″ ico=”file-text”][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Contact reSAWN TIMBER co. for Exterior Install Guidelines[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] OF NOTE: Abodo material textures are for use in digital modeling software and are indicative only.
