Critical: Nova 37 is designed for interior food-contact timber surfaces and is not suitable for exterior weather exposure, continuous water immersion or structural timber protection. Do not apply to damp or contaminated timber surfaces. Excessive application may result in slow drying or surface tackiness.

KEY BENEFITS

• Eradicates wood borer, termites, fungi and mould
• Helps protect against re-infestation
• Deep-penetrating solvent-based formulation
• Does not discolour timber
• Ready-to-use with no dilution required
• Compatible with Nova timber finishes once dry

WHERE TO USE

• Interior timber surfaces
• Furniture and antiques
• Doors and window frames
• Interior ceilings and exposed beams
• Timber flooring prior to finishing
• Kitchen cabinets and timber joinery
• And many more applications

HOW TO USE

• Apply only to clean, dry, bare timber surfaces
• Remove all existing paint, varnish, wax or oil coatings before treatment
• Sand timber where required and remove all dust
• Stir before use and do not dilute
• Apply generously using a brush, spray, roller, dip method or suitable hand spray bottle
• Ensure complete saturation and penetration into the timber fibres
• For active infestations, spray directly into borer holes, cracks, joints, crevices and other difficult-to-reach areas
• Do not allow excessive pooling on the surface

Application Guide:
• Timber less than 5mm thickness: Apply 2 coats allowing approximately 30 minutes between coats
• Timber greater than 5mm thickness: Apply 3 coats allowing approximately 30 minutes between coats
• Floors and ceilings: Apply 2–3 coats at the recommended spread rate

• Allow the product to absorb fully and dry before overcoating with a compatible Nova timber finish

Critical: Nova 30 is a timber disinfectant and pre-treatment, not a decorative or protective finish. It must be overcoated with a suitable timber sealer, oil or varnish to complete the protection system. Not suitable for permanently wet, submerged or exterior exposed applications without a protective topcoat.

Tip: For timber affected by wood borer or termite activity, inject or spray Nova 30 directly into visible holes, cracks and crevices before treating the entire surface to maximise penetration and effectiveness.

WHY CHOOSE

• Deep penetration into timber fibres
• Eliminates active biological infestation
• Helps prevent future infestation when used as part of a complete system
