Dilution: SVALOS Dilutant No. 222 or BIO Thinner
Application method: Brush or spreading with an
applicator made of solvent-resistant synthetic or rubber, spraying,
dipping, cloth, lambs-wool applicator or machine applications at
temperatures above 12oC (54oF). Burnish in
the third coat.
Coverage: First coat: 1 undiluted litre is
sufficient for approx. 22 m2, i.e.
45ml/m2.Second coat: 1 undiluted litre is sufficient for
approx. 88 m2, i.e. 11ml/m2.Third coat: 1
undiluted litre is sufficient for approx. 295 m2, i.e.
4ml/m2.Coverage does depend on surface condition and
absorbency. Pre-testing your project is recommended. For spraying,
can be thinned to a max. 5 to 10% with either SVALOS dilution or
BIO Thinner.
Cleaning: Clean equipment immediately after use
with LEVO Brush Cleaner No. 994, or SVALOS Dilutant, or BIO
Thinner.

Safety advice: Always be sure to store cleaning
cloth, polishing pads, sponges, etc. that are still wet or even
slightly moist with KUNOS Natural Oil Sealer No. 244 in an airtight
metal container or in water and dispose, as there is a danger of
combustion caused by plant oil content in the product. However, the
product alone will not undergo spontaneous combustion. Contains
limonene. S 2 Keep out of the reach of children. S 62 If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting: Seek medical advise immediately
and show the container or label.
Disposal: According to local regulations.
Container sizes: 250ml*; 750ml*; 2.5l*; 10l ; 30l;
200l. * sizes stocked by Colours By Nature
Storage: Cool and dry. Please see label for
expiration date. Transfer unused portion of product to a smaller
container for storage.
HOW-TO Use on Wood Surfaces
Preparation: Wood must be dry (moisture content
below 12 %), solid, able to absorb, clean, free of resin and dust.
Brush large-pored woods such as oak, ash, chestnut, elm, mahogany
or teak carefully, to clean pore grooves.Sand furniture gradually
up to 240 grain, for oak use 180 grain. Floors gradually up to 180
grain.
Application: Depending on surface requirements and
absorbency: Apply 1 to 3 thin coats, until a coating layer has
developed. If necessary, and for dipping applications; can be
diluted with a maximum of 10-20% SVALOS Dilutant or BIO
Thinner.
Remove excess oil 20 minutes after applying each coat with a
lint-free cloth, otherwise an uneven shiny surface might develop.
Sand after the first application, especially if a smooth and
durable surfaces is desired. Sand floors between applications with
a beige pad, for furniture use a pad with at least 280 grain.
Polish 3rd application into the surface with a polishing machine. A
better mechanically durable surface is achieved if KUNOS No. 244 is
burnished into the surface by machine.
OSBF or OSB-boards, follow instructions for wood surface
preparation and application. Apply 3 coats sparingly. Some
OSB-qualities may absorb a higher quantity of KUNOS No. 244 as
quoted and it is difficult to remove excess oil because of the
wood-chip structure.
Renovation of old non-porous surfaces coated with other products
(i.e. oil-based paints, lacquers, coating varnishes, wax finishes,
..etc) must be sanded or stripped completely to remove the old
coating. Surface must be solid, absorbent, clean and free of dust.
Old porous coatings must be cleaned; if necessary, sanded and the
tested to determine if KUNOS Natural Oil Sealer No. 244 can be
applied and absorbed. Adjust subsequent treatments according to
surface conditions and treat like a first application.
For colouration: Can apply one coat of KALDET Transparent
Wood Stain No. 270, available in 15 colours than at least 2 coats
KUNOS Natural Oil Sealer No. 244.
KUNOS White is intended to be used for the first coat to
preserve the natural wood tone, particularly on light coloured
woods such as maple, beech, spruce and pine. However caution should
be taken on others timbers like alder, ash, oak, or mosaic
parquet.Wipe away surplus KUNOS white thoroughly after 10-20
minutes to prevent pigment traces or white spots from forming.
Care & Maintenance: Should be done according to wear,
as a rule 1- 2 times annually. Rub or polish on a thin coat of
KUNOS Natural Oil Sealer No. 244. Please follow tips for care and
maintenance.
Important tips: Stir thoroughly before use. Remove
any skin that may have formed on the surface. A test coat is
recommended. Wood not completely saturated with KUNOS Natural Oil
Sealer No. 244, or oak wood exposed to water may develop stains or
discolouration. A more homogenised surface appearance is achieved
when final coating isdone with SOGO-Hard Wax No. 307, the wax can
be applied hot or cold. On oak and other wood with
incompatibilities such as tannic acid or dyes, or on wood that has
been sanded, stripped, pre-treated, or stained, discolouration is
possible and will show up within one week ofapplication date. For
glued crosscut wood or wood veneers, observe a treated test area
for two days before completing application, as certain adhesives
may dissolve. Adhesives and glues have to be completely dry before
treating with KUNOS. Pre-sand dark colour tones and soft wood with
150 grain paper to avoid light scratches. Sand in between with a
beige pad.
Fine sanding does reduce the quantity of KUNOS needed and does
reduce tendency to soil and wear and tear.
