Sansin PressurePlus

One-Step Natural Wood Treatment for Pressure-Treated Lumber

Sansin PressurePlus is a penetrating, water-borne wood treatment formulated specifically for new or existing pressure-treated lumber. It transforms green, brown, or gray pressure-treated wood into natural-looking wood tones or weathered gray finishes while delivering long-lasting water repellency and UV protection. With an easy one-step application, PressurePlus enhances the performance and dimensional stability of pressure-treated wood for decks, fences, balconies, and more.

What Makes Sansin PressurePlus Unique?

Unlike stains designed for raw wood, PressurePlus is engineered to bond effectively with the cellular structure of pressure-treated lumber. It works on both horizontal and vertical surfaces and requires no dilution or topcoat. PressurePlus enhances appearance while helping reduce moisture absorption, swelling, and surface checking. It’s environmentally friendly, translucent, and easy to apply with brush, spray, or flood coat—making it ideal for both homeowners and contractors.

Key Benefits

• Formulated specifically for pressure-treated wood
• Enhances color and natural grain of green, brown, or gray PT lumber
• Penetrating, non-film-forming finish
• Reduces water absorption and swelling
• Breathable and UV resistant
• VOC compliant, environmentally responsible
• One-step application with easy cleanup

Where to Use

• Pressure-treated wood decks
• Balconies and stair treads
• Fences and railings
• New or weathered PT lumber surfaces

Application Notes

Surface Preparation Requirements

• Inspect wood for damage or surface contamination
• Clean with a minimum 3000 PSI pressure washer or Sansin Multi-Wash
• Sand with 60–80 grit for smoother surfaces before application
• Surface must be clean, dry, and free of coatings, wax, or grease

Application

• Stir well before and during application
• Apply with brush, flood, dip, or low-pressure spray
• Flood surface to saturation (apply 5–6 wet mils)
• Ideal temperature: 21°C (70°F), RH ~50%
• Do not apply if rain or freezing temperatures are expected
• Brush out any puddles or runs immediately

Coverage

Surface Type	Estimated Coverage per U.S. Gallon
Pressure-treated lumber (typical)	250–350 sq. ft.

Maintenance Required

Horizontal surfaces require maintenance every 2–4 years. Reapply when surfaces show signs of wear, fading, or reduced water repellency. Clean lightly with a power washer or Sansin Multi-Wash, then apply one maintenance coat of PressurePlus. Maintenance frequency depends on exposure, color, and quality of prior preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PressurePlus be used on new pressure-treated wood?

Yes, it is designed for use on new or weathered pressure-treated lumber.

Does it work on green, brown, and gray PT wood?

Yes. It enhances green or brown lumber and transforms it to natural or weathered gray tones.

How many coats are required?

Only one flood coat is required for full protection. Maintenance coats may be added later.

Does it form a surface film?

No. It penetrates and leaves a breathable, non-film-forming finish.

How long does it take to dry?

Dries in 24 hours at 20°C (68°F). Allow 12–24 hours between coats if reapplying.

What’s the best method to apply it?

Use brush, dip, flood, or low-pressure spray followed by back-brushing to saturation.

Can I use it on vertical surfaces?

Yes, it’s suitable for vertical and horizontal applications.

Is it environmentally friendly?

Yes. It’s VOC compliant, water-based, and solvent-free.

How often do I need to maintain it?

Every 2–4 years on horizontal surfaces depending on use and exposure.

Is sanding required before use?

Sanding with 60–80 grit is recommended for smooth surfaces for better absorption.
