Description
ARBO-FLEX is a protective coating for trunks designed to prevent damage to the bark due to high temperatures and frost. These usually occur in young trees after transplantation, as well as in older trees. Until now, the so-called "tree bleaching" has been used to prevent frost damage, but due to the low permanence of this paint, two coatings per winter were required. There was no summer protection. One Arbo-Flex coating protects the tree for more than five years and replaces 10 to 15 lime coatings. By increasing the diameter of the trunk, small parts of the bark are constantly uncovered, allowing the trunk to adapt slowly to the weather for several years. ARBO-FLEX is pasty and is used undiluted. The paint binds as a white coating on the bark. The elastic protective coating does not inhibit growth. Then the paint slowly degrades into environmentally neutral components.
APPLICATION
1. For good grip, the trunk must first be professionally cleaned with a sanding brush or a special wire brush.
2. Extensively apply primer LX60.
3. When the primer is dry to the touch, apply Arbo-Flex at least up to the height of the crown.
Do not apply to wet bark and do not apply at temperatures below 10°C.
INFORMATIVE CONSUMPTION of Arbo-Flex: approx. 1 kg per m2 of bark, i.e. the approximate consumption per tree is:
- 250-300g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 14/16cm (application area of approx. 0.30 m2)
- 280-340g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 16/18cm (application area of approx. 0.34 m2)
- 320-380g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 18/20cm (application area of approx. 0.38 m2)
- 350-420g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 20/22cm (application area of approx. 0.42 m2)
- 380-460g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 22/24cm (application area of approx. 0.46 m2)
- 420-500g for a tree with a trunk circumference of 24/26cm (application area of approx. 0.50 m2)
