POLYWOOD Polyurethane Exterior Wood Varnish 2.5 L (ورنيش)

POLYWOOD by POLYBOND UNIVERSAL is a professional solvent-based polyurethane exterior wood varnish, made in the UK and supplied in Lebanon by Rousse. Based on a polyurethane alkyd resin, it enhances the natural look of wood with a tough, durable film that resists scuffs and abrasion. The non-yellowing formula is water repellent and protects wood from UV damage, and it dries faster than conventional varnishes.

Advantages

Rapid drying: several coats can go on in a single day, and treated floors can be walked on within hours
Hard-wearing yet flexible, for high-traffic areas such as wood decking, cork floors and decorative cork wall tiles
Water resistant and resists blanching when wet: exterior wood, small boats and caravans
Smooth satin look with a skid-resistant surface on floors
Cost-effective: coat cork tiles on site instead of buying pre-coated ones, sealing the seams at the same time

Where to use it

Exterior and interior wood: doors, windows, pergolas, fences, garden furniture and panelling
Hardwood, softwood and marine ply; yacht and boat woodwork
Timber doors, panels and floors; as a finishing coat over emulsion paint or wallpaper for a rich glazed effect (test wallpaper first)
Two coats waterproof porous stone, concrete and brickwork
Furniture and DIY wood projects, replacing traditional varnishes, oils or waxes
Domestic and industrial use

How to apply

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust and loose or flaking material.
On bare wood, seal with a first coat thinned with about 10% universal thinners.
Apply by brush or roller as supplied (add about 10% thinners for spraying). Several thin coats are better than one thick coat; rub down lightly between coats with fine paper (grade 400 or finer).
Recoat after 16–24 hours. Do not leave brushes or rollers standing in air for more than a few minutes; clean tools with gun wash. Do not apply over anti-fouling, and use plastic laminate rather than varnish on benches and tabletops.
