Available in a wide selection of natural, semi-transparent, and even opaque colors, SANSIN SDF provides durable and effective protection for all your exterior wood surfaces. Its specially formulated oils and resins penetrate deep into the wood to protect it from harsh weather conditions and ultraviolet rays. Its water-based technology delivers complete protection in a single coat, although a second coat can provide an even richer and more beautiful finish. Its highly water-repellent properties make it the ideal choice for homes and structures exposed to moisture. Not only does SDF protect the exterior surface of the wood, but it also preserves the wood’s core by allowing it to “breathe,” preventing trapped moisture and rot. SANSIN SDF is recognized by siding manufacturers as one of the best natural wood finishes on the market. DESCRIPTION SANSIN SDF is an environmentally friendly single-coat finish specially designed for wood siding, decks, and fences. This product is UV-resistant, water-repellent, low VOC, non-flammable, and easily cleaned with water and mild soap. With just one application, this unique, rich, and attractive formula provides long-lasting protection. SANSIN SDF will not crack, peel, or blister. A maintenance coat should be applied every two to three years on horizontal surfaces and every two to four years on vertical surfaces. APPLICATIONS Exterior siding Decks Fences Outdoor furniture Log homes PRODUCT BENEFITS Environmentally friendly Penetrating formula Single-coat application Can be applied to damp wood Provides dimensional stability Non-flammable Non-film forming UV resistant Water repellent COLORS Available in the full range of Sansin colors, as well as custom architectural colors. Colors may vary depending on the grain, texture, porosity, and wood species. Results may differ from what is illustrated. Always test beforehand to ensure desired results. Colors Grain Appearance Finish Natural Transparent Low-lustre matte Translucent Semi-transparent Low-lustre matte Saturated Opaque Low-lustre matte SURFACE PREPARATION Ensure the surface is free from defects or deterioration. Replace defective boards or components as needed. Sand the wood using a belt sander or orbital sander with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper. APPLICATION METHOD Apply SANSIN SDF using the desired method: dipping, brushing, or spraying (pressure-fed or airless). APPLICATION PROCEDURES Test on an inconspicuous area to verify color and product penetration. Apply under suitable conditions, ideally at 70°F (21°C) with approximately 50% relative humidity. For best results, apply a generous coat of SANSIN SDF for maximum absorption and wipe off excess a few minutes later using a brush. Continuously inspect the surface and wipe away any puddles or runs. For enhanced protection, a second coat of SANSIN SDF may be applied. Do not apply during the hottest part of the day or in direct sunlight. This may create a surface film and reduce penetration, potentially causing peeling in the near future. Do not apply during rainy conditions or cold nighttime temperatures. The product requires 24 hours of drying time after application. When using tinted product, mix thoroughly before and during application. Always read the application instructions before starting the project. MAINTENANCE Vertical surfaces require maintenance every 3 to 6 years. Maintenance is necessary when the surface shows signs of wear such as fading or erosion. Regular maintenance will help preserve the wood’s color over time, improve dimensional stability, and maintain its water-repellent properties. Periodically clean the wood using a pressure washer and/or use Sansin Multi-Wash to remove dust and dirt. Maintenance frequency will depend on surface preparation quality, application quality, and environmental conditions. If fading or erosion becomes noticeable, clean the wood using a pressure washer and/or Sansin Multi-Wash to remove dust and dirt. Then reapply a maintenance coat of SANSIN SDF following the application instructions.
