Protect timber ends and reduce costly splitting during drying and storage.
End Sealer is an off-white, water-based wax emulsion designed to prevent end checks and splitting in freshly cut or sawn timber. As green timber dries, moisture escapes much faster through the end grain than the face grain, often causing cracks to form. End Sealer slows this moisture loss to controlled levels, helping maintain timber integrity during seasoning and storage.
Easy to apply by brushing, dipping or spraying, End Sealer forms a protective barrier on timber ends and is significantly more effective and economical than traditional paint-based alternatives. When used on freshly cut logs, it can increase the yield of usable timber by reducing waste caused by end splitting.
Key Features
- Prevents end checks and splitting in green or freshly sawn timber
- Controls moisture loss from end grain for more even drying
- Off-white wax and water emulsion for easy application
- Coverage rate of approximately 4 m² per litre (one heavy coat)
- Suitable for brushing, dipping or spray application
- More cost-effective than paint-type sealers
- Stable in long-term storage (avoid freezing temperatures)
Application Notes
- Do not expose to temperatures at or below freezing, as separation may occur
- Apply as soon as possible after cutting for best results
