Pink Blocker for Red Oak

$213.25
Product essentials & how to use

Water-based reactive stain which neutralizes the pink appearance of wood. Also suitable for wood types which do not contain tannin.

» Neutralizes the pink appearance of certain wood species.

» Above all for use on red oak.

» Can be finished afterwards with any product from the Ciranova® line.

Because it counteracts the red and pink tones in Red Oak, Pink Blocker is sometimes searched for as a "red blocker" — it's the same product, and that's exactly what it does.

The color you want starts before the finish

Transform the tone. Preserve the character.

Pink Blocker 2C acts on the wood's pink and red appearance to create a visually more neutral base.

The grain remains the focus, ready for the selected finish with a calmer, more contemporary result.

Explore benefits

The reaction, up close

It does not cover the grain.
It transforms the tone.

A better base changes the entire project.

Designed for professionals who want to control warm tones without covering the wood's natural identity.

Visually reduces pink and red undertones before the finishing system is applied.

02

Preserves the grain

The reaction modifies the tone without turning the surface into an opaque or flat layer.

03

Versatile base

After the reaction and light sanding, the wood can receive stain, oil, or lacquer as part of the selected system.

04

Professional application

Suitable for interior floors and panels, with manual or spray application.

Simple system. Controlled result.

Three steps to visually more neutral wood.

1

Prepare

Sand the wood correctly and remove all dust before starting.

2

Mix and apply

Combine Clear and Stain in a 1:1 ratio. Apply in the direction of the grain and even out with a brush.

3

Let it react

Allow at least 12 hours, lightly smooth the surface, and continue with the selected protection system.

The final tone depends on the wood species, sanding, and applied amount. Always make a preliminary test and follow the product technical data sheet. Use corrosion-resistant tools.

Product details

Product field guide

Open each relevant step for product-specific preparation, application, finishing and long-term care. Only applicable stages are shown.

Preparation

Make sure that all old finish coats are completely removed and that the floor is free from dust and other dirt. Can be used on sanded, planed and brushed wood. Pre-wetting the wood can reduce the risk of overlapping.

Application

Mix the PINK BLOCKER CLEAR with the PINK BLOCKER STAIN in a ratio of 1/1. Apply the product evenly with sprayer, roller or brush and then even out with a brush, T-bar or mop.

Pink Blocker can “pop” the grain so it is suggested that you smoothen the surface after the full reaction time with a buffing pad. Afterwards, the surface should be made dust free, prior to finishing with an oil or waterborne finish from the Ciranova® range. Please contact Ciranova® Technical Support for information about using a waterborne finish.

Continue the system

A stain can be applied afterward, and a finish on top.

This product is not a finish, it needs to be protected, with a Ciranova finish product.

Maintain

Maintain the completed surface with products and intervals appropriate to the final protective finish. Follow the maintenance guidance for the system used.
