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.

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.
