Description
Reactive HX-11 is an aging reagent for interior wood
Reagent capable of giving an aging or graying effect to the artefacts. The specific color effects depend on the type of wood and the different dilutions of the product.
REACTIVE HX-11 represents an acid solution capable of providing a basic aging or graying action to the artefacts, preparing them for the subsequent impregnating treatment. This reagent has its own specificity which, combined with other products, leads to unique and original aesthetic results. The aesthetic appearance obtained is also influenced by the type of wood and its origin.
When applied pure on larch and oak (after 12/24 hours), REACTIVE HX-11 offers a "bleached hazelnut gray" mordant with an aging effect. Ideal for essences such as oak, chestnut, elm, larch, etc...
Advantages
- It gives a deep aging effect to the wood.
- It is miscible in water in any proportion to obtain various shades of color.
- It is possible to overlap it with other (aging) reagents to obtain unique and particular effects.
- Highlights the knots in the wood.
- Exalts the differences between the various slats.
Directions
Shake well before use. Operate at temperatures between +10°C and +30°C. Avoid applying the product on very hot supports. We recommend applying the product industrially with a roller or spray. However, it is possible to use the product on already laid floors if it is a running installation, acting in this way: if the effect you want to achieve is that given by a coat of reactive, to obtain an optimal result, we recommend applying two coats of REACTIVE HX-11 at 40% + 60% water.
Pour the solution into a tray and distribute it on the floor in the direction of the grain, (making it no more than one meter wide) evenly and carefully. After the first application, it is possible to smooth the surface with scotch brite or fine mesh.
After 12/24 hours, smooth the surface with 120/400 grit sandpaper or with green/black Scotch Brite or with brushes to create shades. Vacuum and, once clean and dry, proceed with the protective oil treatment.
PROTECT any surfaces that could be affected by the product.
ATTENTION: Avoid pouring REACTIVE HX-11 directly onto the wood, as drops or overlapping of the product could create streaks or obvious marks on the product.
BEFORE APPLYING ON THE ENTIRE SURFACE, ALWAYS CARRY OUT TESTS ON AT LEAST 2/3 DIFFERENT STRIPS
