Woodoc Wood Sealers in Namibia

Swachem distributes the full Woodoc range in Namibia — the penetrating sealers that actually survive this climate. Interior sealers (Woodoc 5, 10, 25), exterior and marine grades (30, 35, 50, 55, Water-Borne Marine), deck products (Deck Sealer, Deck Dressing, Water-Borne Deck), gel stains and the fourteen-colour Universal Colours card, waxes, Wood Reviver and penetrating primers. Namibian sun, dryness and UV destroy film-forming varnishes in a season or two; Woodoc feeds and seals the timber from inside, which is why joineries, lodges and homeowners here standardise on it.

Woodoc Wood Treatment: your questions answered

How many coats of Woodoc do I need, and can I skip the primer?

Three coats is the Woodoc standard — the first two feed and fill the timber, the third builds the protective surface — and on dense or resinous hardwoods the Plus Life Primer genuinely improves penetration, so skip it only on clean, absorbent softwood. Namibia adds a wrinkle: extremely dry timber drinks the first coat fast, so brush generously and keep a wet edge. Sand lightly between coats, never thin the product to stretch it, and expect the stated coverage per litre to drop on sun-dried exterior wood.

Which Woodoc survives a north-facing deck in full Namibian sun?

Use the dedicated deck products — Woodoc Deck Sealer or the Water-Borne Deck range — rather than a general exterior sealer, because decks take UV, foot traffic and thermal shock simultaneously. On a north-facing deck inland, expect to refresh the dressing every 12–18 months; the coastal fog belt is kinder on UV but harder on moisture cycling. The practical Namibian rule: when water stops beading on the boards, it is time for a maintenance coat — waiting until the timber greys doubles the work.

What is the difference between Woodoc 30, 50 and the Water-Borne Marine range?

Woodoc 30 is the standard exterior penetrating sealer for doors, frames and furniture; Woodoc 50 is the heavy-duty exterior grade for extreme exposure and coastal conditions, and 55 adds colour in Dark Brown, Meranti and Russet. The Water-Borne Marine range (gloss, matt and ultra-matt clears) is formulated for timber near water — boat interiors, jetty rails, bathroom counters — with low odour and fast recoat. At the coast, salt-laden fog pushes most buyers to 50 or the marine range; inland UV is the enemy and 30/35 serves well.

My outdoor furniture has gone grey — must I sand it all back?

Not necessarily. Woodoc Wood Reviver is made for exactly this: it chemically cleans and brightens greyed, weathered timber so the sealer can bond to sound wood again. Scrub it on, rinse thoroughly, let the piece dry completely — quick in our climate — then reseal with the appropriate exterior grade. Only deeply cracked or fuzzy surfaces need mechanical sanding first. Finish with three coats and the furniture returns to colour instead of the skip.

Do you stock the Woodoc colour ranges, or only clear sealers?

The colour side is fully represented: Woodoc Gel Stain, Woodoc Stain, Deck Sealer and Deck Dressing colours, and the Universal Colours card of fourteen shades from Beaufort Grey and Inky Blue to Kalahari Red, Knysna Green and Ebony. Colours can be sealed over with the clear grades for depth and protection. Joineries doing production runs can order colour quantities against a standing account rather than hunting retail shelves.
