Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood: Optimal Protection for Exotic Wood Types

What is Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood?

Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood is a water-based, single-component sealer specifically developed for treating untreated tropical wood. This sealer has insulating properties and prevents defects caused by aggressive substances found in wood types like kambala (iroko), afzelia, and basralocus. The sealer provides a warm tint and enhances the natural glow of the wood. It is easy to apply without streaks and levels smoothly without yellowing. After a drying time of at least 24 hours, the sealer can be overcoated with SKYLT or STEP parquet varnishes for a durable finish.

How does Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood work?

Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood acts as an insulating layer that neutralizes aggressive substances in tropical woods, preventing them from affecting the final finish. For optimal performance, the sealer should be applied evenly with a microfiber paint roller, ensuring a uniform layer thickness for a perfect finish. After application, the sealer becomes dust-dry within 1 to 2 hours and can be painted over after at least 24 hours. This waiting period ensures that the insulating properties are fully effective, enhancing the durability and appearance of the final finish.

Benefits and Features

Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood offers several benefits for tropical wood. The sealer effectively prevents discoloration and damage caused by natural wood substances. Its water-based formula contains very low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making the product environmentally friendly and safe for indoor use. Additionally, the sealer is easy to apply without streaks and remains clear without yellowing. This makes it ideal for use in combination with other finishes such as SKYLT or STEP parquet varnishes. Moreover, the sealer provides a natural, warm appearance and protection for the wood, preserving its beauty for longer.

Instructions for Use

For the best results, the surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and other contaminants. The sealer should be stirred well and then applied evenly across the surface using a microfiber paint roller. It is recommended to work at a room temperature between 10°C and 30°C with a relative humidity of 40% to 80%. After at least 24 hours, the surface can be overcoated with SKYLT or STEP parquet varnishes. Intermediate sanding is not recommended for optimal adhesion and protection after applying the sealer.

Maintenance or Advice

To keep Rigo STEP Sealer Tropical Wood in optimal condition, it is important to clean any spilled materials and tools immediately after use with water or STEP Mild Cleaner #9160. Dry layers can only be removed mechanically. Store the product in a cool, dry, and frost-free place in a well-sealed container for a shelf life of at least 12 months. To ensure long-term wood protection, it is recommended to regularly inspect the surface and touch up as needed with a finishing layer of SKYLT or STEP parquet varnishes.
