FAQ
Osmo 4001 WR Base Coat is a clear wood impregnation for exterior use. It is a preventive preservative with active ingredients to protect against plant and animal pests such as blue stain, rot, mildew and insect attack. Nb. 4001 is the replacement for 4005 with the key differences that it is now oil based and contains protection against insect attack as well as biocides. The base coat penetrates easily and deeply into the wood - proving extra moisture protection for the wood. Key features include:
- Clear (4001), exterior base coat only
- Especially recommended for windows, cladding, garden furniture

- Will improve the coverage of the above when used on rough sawn timber
- Available in 0.125, 0.75 and 2.5 litres
- 1 litre covers approx 5 - 6 m² with 1 coat. Product coverage will depend significantly on the wood's characteristics. These figures are for smooth planed or cut timber. Other surfaces such as rough sawn, aged timber etc may lead to significantly reduced coverage.
