Unlike film-forming coatings that peel and crack over time, SANSIN DEC provides long-lasting protection against rain, moisture and UV exposure. Because decks are exposed to heavy wear, regular maintenance is essential. With SANSIN DEC, maintaining the natural beauty of your wood is simple with periodic cleaning and maintenance coats. DESCRIPTION SANSIN DEC is an environmentally friendly, water-based penetrating coating specifically designed for decks, balconies and fences. Its two-coat system penetrates deeply into the wood to provide durable protection while allowing the wood to breathe naturally. Ideal for cedar, pine, spruce, fir, treated wood and exotic hardwoods, SANSIN DEC is water repellent, UV resistant, low VOC, non-flammable and easy to clean with water and mild soap. Its modified natural oil penetrates deeply into wood with moisture content up to 25%, including green wood. Even with a high solids content, SANSIN DEC allows the wood to breathe freely, helping maintain dimensional stability. SANSIN DEC will not crack, peel or blister, making it an excellent choice for preserving the natural beauty and integrity of exterior wood.
