					<description><![CDATA[<p>Nova 24 Aquaseal Timber Oil is a scientifically formulated water-based exterior timber protector designed to provide long-lasting hydrophobic protection for timber exposed to outdoor weathering conditions. Unlike traditional varnishes or heavy film-forming sealers, the deep-penetrating formula helps reduce water absorption while allowing timber to breathe and weather naturally. It enhances the natural appearance of wood with a subtle low-sheen finish while helping minimise swelling, shrinking, cracking and moisture-related deterioration associated with exterior exposure.</p>
<p><em><strong>Proudly South African manufactured with decades of proven coating performance across decorative and protective timber applications.</strong></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nova 24 Aquaseal Timber Oil Matt | Water-Based Water Repellent Wood Protector for Decks, Cladding &amp; Exterior Timber</strong></p>
<p>Advanced Water-Repellent Protection for Exterior Timber</p>
<p><strong>KEY BENEFITS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced water-repellent protection</li>
<li>Deep-penetrating hydrophobic technology</li>
<li>Helps reduce water absorption</li>
<li>Helps minimise swelling, shrinking and cracking</li>
<li>Breathable non-heavy-build protection system</li>
<li>Natural low-sheen appearance</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>WHERE TO USE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Exterior timber decking</li>
<li>Pergolas</li>
<li>Exterior cladding</li>
<li>Fences and gates</li>
<li>Exterior doors and window frames</li>
<li>Garden furniture</li>
<li>And many more applications</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>HOW TO USE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure timber is clean, dry and free from contamination</li>
<li>Timber moisture content should not exceed 15%</li>
<li>Sand smooth in the direction of the grain and remove all sanding dust</li>
<li>Stir thoroughly before and during use</li>
<li>Do not shake excessively</li>
<li>Apply evenly along the grain using a clean brush, applicator pad or roller</li>
<li>Pay particular attention to end grain and exposed timber areas</li>
<li>Allow 3–4 hours drying between coats depending on weather conditions</li>
<li>Apply 2–3 coats depending on timber porosity and exposure conditions</li>
<li>Do not apply in wet conditions or below 5°C</li>
<li>Avoid excessive surface build-up</li>
<li>Ensure adequate ventilation during drying</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Critical:</strong> Nova 24 is designed to protect timber against water absorption and moisture-related weathering, not to permanently preserve the original timber colour. Natural UV greying and colour change will occur over time on exterior timber surfaces. Nova 24 helps timber weather more evenly and naturally while maintaining water-repellent protection. Not suitable for permanently immersed surfaces or submerged marine applications.</em></p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Reapply a maintenance coat when water repellency begins to reduce. Regular maintenance helps maintain protection and minimise weathering of exposed timber.</p>
<p><strong>WHY CHOOSE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Helps reduce moisture-related timber deterioration</li>
<li>Allows timber to breathe naturally</li>
<li>Will not peel or flake like heavy surface coatings</li>
<li>Easy maintenance and recoating system</li>
<li>Excellent exterior weather resistance</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>KEY SPECIFICATIONS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Water-based hydrophobic timber protector</li>
<li>Natural low-sheen finish</li>
<li>Coverage: 8–10m²/L per coat</li>
<li>Surface dry: 1–2 hours</li>
<li>Recoat time: 3–4 hours</li>
<li>Full cure: 24 hours</li>
<li>Warm soapy water clean-up</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EASY TO CHOOSE. EASY TO USE. SINCE 1965.</strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Nova 25 Tuffcoat is an advanced water-based timber protection coating designed to provide durable, long-lasting protection for both interior and exterior timber surfaces. The innovative low-build coating system combines penetrating protection with a flexible breathable finish that helps protect timber against moisture, weathering, wear and everyday exposure while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood grain. Unlike traditional heavy varnish systems that may crack, peel or flake over time, Nova 25 is designed to weather naturally and allow simple long-term maintenance and recoating.</p>

<li>Suitable for interior and exterior timber</li>
<li>Water-repellent and mildew-resistant protection</li>
<li>Skid-resistant finish ideal for decking and walkways</li>
<li>Flexible low-build coating system</li>
<li>Easy maintenance and recoating</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>WHERE TO USE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Exterior timber decking</li>
<li>Pergolas and timber structures</li>
<li>Fences and gates</li>
<li>Exterior cladding</li>

<li>Interior furniture, cupboards, doors and joinery</li>
<li>And many more applications</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>HOW TO USE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure timber is clean, dry and free from contamination</li>
<li>Timber moisture content should not exceed 12–14%</li>
<li>Sand timber as required and remove all sanding dust</li>
<li>Remove oil and grease contamination using a suitable cleaner or degreaser</li>
<li>Stir thoroughly before and during use</li>
<li>Apply evenly using a brush, applicator or soft broom</li>
<li>Work the coating thoroughly into the timber surface</li>
<li>Avoid pooling or excessive film build-up</li>
<li>Apply 2–3 coats depending on timber porosity and desired finish</li>
<li>Allow coating to dry clear before recoating</li>
<li>Allow 2–3 hours between coats under normal conditions</li>
<li>Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For Maintenance Recoating:</strong><br />
• Clean the surface thoroughly<br />
• Remove dirt, oils and contaminants<br />
• Allow timber to dry fully<br />
• Reapply a maintenance coat as required</p>
<p><em><strong>Critical:</strong> Exterior timber exposed to sunlight and weather will naturally age over time. While the pigmented finish helps slow visible UV weathering and colour fading, Nova 25 is not designed to permanently prevent natural timber ageing. Regular maintenance coats are recommended to maintain water repellency, colour consistency and long-term coating performance. Not suitable for permanently immersed or submerged marine applications.</em></p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Unlike traditional varnishes, Nova 25 generally does not require heavy sanding before maintenance recoats provided the existing coating remains sound and well adhered.</p>

<ul>
<li>Helps reduce peeling and flaking associated with traditional varnishes</li>
<li>Breathable coating allows natural timber movement</li>
<li>Easy long-term maintenance system</li>
<li>Suitable for both horizontal and vertical timber surfaces</li>

<li>Low odour, low VOC formulation</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>KEY SPECIFICATIONS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced water-based timber protection coating</li>
<li>Matte natural-look finish</li>
<li>Translucent pigmented coating</li>
<li>Coverage: 7–10m²/L per coat</li>
<li>Recoat time: 2–3 hours</li>
<li>Surface dry: 1–2 hours</li>
<li>Full cure: 3–5 days</li>
</ul>
