Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 is a premium penetrating oil saturator specifically formulated for exotic and dense hardwoods — the kind of timber that resists standard treatments and demands a product engineered to actually get inside the wood rather than sit on the surface. Whether you're treating teak decking, mahogany topsides, ipe garden furniture or hardwood terraces, D.1 enhances the natural beauty of the timber while building resistance against UV exposure, moisture and the general weathering of the outdoor environment.
The non-film-forming formula penetrates deeply into the substrate, nourishing the wood from within and leaving a rich, oiled finish rather than a surface coating that can peel, crack or trap moisture over time.
Easy to apply by brush or roller with a 24-48 hour drying time, D.1 is equally suited to boat decks and topsides, garden furniture, decking and gates — and can even be used below the waterline as an insulating base coat before conventional underwater treatment. A practical, premium choice for anyone who wants to properly care for and maintain their exotic timber investment.
Features
Specifically Formulated for Exotic Hardwoods - Engineered for dense, oily and difficult-to-impregnate timbers like Teak, Mahogany, Ipe and Movingui where standard oils and treatments struggle to penetrate effectively.
Deep Penetrating Formula - Non-film-forming alkyd resin and natural oil base penetrates deeply into the substrate, treating the wood from within rather than forming a surface film that can peel, crack or trap moisture.
Rich Oiled Finish - Enhances the natural grain and colour of exotic timbers with a warm, silken oiled appearance that preserves the wood's natural character.
Broad Application Range - Suitable for boat decks, topsides, garden furniture, terraces, decking, gates and more, both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Easy Application & Maintenance - Applied by brush or roller and requires straightforward maintenance recoating, making it a practical long-term timber care solution.

| Quick Features & Recommendations |
Deks Solje D.1's oiled appearance will gradually disappear in the weeks following application depending on exposure to sunlight. The deck oil dries to a matt finish, making it the better option for areas of high foot traffic. |
Deks Solje D.2 is ideal for application to surfaces in need of long-lasting protection against UV rays and blistering. The varnish can make a surface slippery and is not ideal for high traffic areas that are likely to become wet. |
