The Manalox WB Difference
A new class of proprietary surfactants in Manalox WB actually uses a crosslinking agent that reacts only after the formulation soaks into wood and the water evaporates. Crosslinking the surfactant destroys its ability to attract water and preserves Manalox WB's depth of penetration better than solvent-based systems. While Manalox WB is a two-component system in concentrated form, formulators can easily convert it to a shelf-stable, one-component product for trade sales.

Manalox WB Advantages

• VOC compliant — no organic solvents
• Easy clean-up
• Inhibits water absorption and swelling of wood
• Inhibits water absorption into masonry
• Penetrating colorless treatment
• Crosslinking agent provides a poor environment for mold and mildew
• Good “breathing” properties
• Pronounced, long term beading effect
• Cost efficient system
