CUTEK® oils are fast and easy to use in pre-oiling machines. CUTEK® oils are a very low maintenance machine solution with fast daily start-up and shutdown – no need to clean after every run. Cleaning, if required, is simple and easy.
CUTEK® employs staff with expert technical knowledge of the precoating and timber industries. Many employees have experience in owning and operating precoating machines and can provide real hands-on guidance and advice to ensure you pre-oiling operation is profitable and efficient.
We understand the intricacies of the precoating and timber industry and markets. When businesses partner with CUTEK® for their pre-oiling solution, they are not locked into one formula. We actively work with each precoat operation to ensure that their coating formula and colour solution matches their machine and environmental and cost requirements of their target market.
Wood freshly coated with CUTEK® oil can be installed straight away or block stacked wet for later use. That is faster turnaround times for you and your clients. CUTEK® oils can also obtain incredibly high spreading rates without compromising efficacy leading to lower cost per lineal metre compared to many other applications on the market.
CUTEK has a 30-year track record as innovators in the timber protection and pre-oiling markets across five continents. CUTEK® timber oils are independently tested and proven to offer powerful, long-term protection and dimensional stability improvements that stand-up in the most extreme environments. Beyond the protection characteristics, CUTEK® timber oils enhance, rather than obscure, the natural grain and beauty of wood.
CUTEK® wood finishes work differently to traditional wood stain/wood oil/acrylic/urethane/natural oils/wood coating products in that CUTEK® protects your timber from the inside out. CUTEK® penetrates deeply into the wood core upon application, protecting it from the damaging effects of liquid and gas phase water, significantly increasing the service life of your timber. It does this by remaining PERMANENTLY MOBILE inside the wood, migrating to any cut or perforation with a self-healing action.
Many opposition products claim to be a penetrating oil finish; however, they often contain a mixture of solvents, polymers and cross-linking natural oils (such as linseed and tung oils) that penetrate only a few millimetres before drying to form an encapsulating type varnish. Because these coatings do not have a self-healing effect, once this varnish is exposed to the weather, water can quickly enter the core of the timber especially if it has been cut or perforated with fasteners leading to a rapid loss of dimensional stability. Additionally, the use of some natural oils in wood coatings can contribute to the development of unsightly mould and fungal growth underneath subsequently applied coatings. This situation can be difficult and costly to fix.

NOTE: Coatings that are not permanently mobile inside the wood and do not exhibit the self-healing effect ARE NOT the same as CUTEK® no matter what is claimed. Just ask the precoaters who have been using CUTEK® for years. Our first priority is always to extend and maximise the service life of timber NOT to steer you into the ecosystem of our other products.
CUTEK® oils are fast and easy to use in pre-oiling machines. CUTEK® oils are a very low maintenance machine solution with fast daily start-up and shutdown unlike many competitors’ products that require time consuming and product wasting cleaning procedures at the end of every run. Cleaning, if required, is simple and easy.
Wood freshly coated with CUTEK® oil can be installed straight away or block stacked wet for later use. That is faster turnaround times for you and your clients. CUTEK® oils can obtain incredibly high spreading rates without compromising efficacy leading to lower cost per lineal metre compared to many other applications on the market.
With CUTEK® more protective components penetrate and STAY permanently in the coated timber. A VOC number quantifies how many volatile organic compounds are released from a coating into the environment as it dries.
CUTEK® timber oils typically contain 20-30 % VOC’s whereas many competitor pre-oiling products contain VOC’s at the 50-60 % level (ASTM3960).
The use of lower VOC CUTEK® oils for pre-oiling means that exceptionally high spreading rates may be obtained without any compromise of product efficacy.
Generally speaking, when competing coatings are compared, a cheaper high VOC coating may become a more expensive option when compared to a lower VOC coating when the amount of product that ACTUALLY REMAINS ACTIVE IN THE COATED WOOD is calculated by subtracting the VOC content by volume of each product.

Easy & Fast
CUTEK® oils are easy and fast to use in machines. Clear coated CUTEK® timber may be block stacked immediately. |
 |
Proven to Actually Work
You can use CUTEK® with confidence. Our long term dimensional stability has been demonstrated in the real world ‘built environment’ over the past 30+ years. |
 |
High Spreading Rate
CUTEK® oils can obtain incredibly high spreading rates without compromising efficacy leading to lower cost per lineal metre after adjustment for VOC content compared to most competitor’s application recommendations. |
 |
LOW maintenance
CUTEK® oils are a very low maintenance machine solution with fast daily start up and shutdown unlike many competitors’ products that require time costly and product wasting cleaning procedures at the end of every run. CUTEK® oils will not generally go hard inside the machine enabling the operator to clean-up at their leisure if at all. |
 |
Proven Safe
CUTEK® is proven safe in a factory situation – unlike many other products that contain vegetable oils where extra attention must be paid to fire risk caused by spontaneous combustion of oily rags etc. |
 |
Experienced Reps
CUTEK® technical reps are all highly experienced and offer the best hands-on support in the business. Whether you need technical advice regarding timber itself or wood coatings, real help is only a phone call away. We understand the frustration companies feel when they are forced to deal with a sales representative or a call centre when they have a serious problem and need urgent advice while they are denied access to real practical laboratory or technical support. |
 |
Lower VOCs
CUTEK® products contain significantly lower VOC’s than many natural oil/polymer based competitor products. More CUTEK® stays in the timber rather than evaporating into the atmosphere. |
 |
Increase your Bottom Line
Coating timber with CUTEK® increases its dimensional stability, therefore adding value. Added value allows you to sell that piece of timber for a higher profit margin. |
When businesses partner with CUTEK® for their pre-oiling/pre-coating solution, we do not lock our pre-coater clients into one formula that is expected to achieve the same results regardless of machine type and cost requirements like most coating suppliers. We actively work with each precoat operation individually to customise a coating formula and solution that matches your machine, environmental and cost requirements for the market that you are targeting. Whether you are competing with cheap imported pre-oiled product or supplying the premium end of the market, we can assist with formulas that meet with your cost requirements in a bespoke solution.
Additionally, we pride ourselves in offering real access to exceptional technical staff that are conversant in all aspects of precoating and the timber industry. Rather than being “salesman” type experts, many of us have owned and operated our own precoating machines for many years and can provide real hands-on guidance and advice to ensure your pre-oiling operation is profitable and efficient from the start.CUTEK® can also assist with a APVMA licensed wood preservative coating that is typically used on large commercial or government projects where proven performance in challenging environments is essential such as boardwalks and pier/wharfs etc.
In addition, if you need help winning a significant job, we can assist you by engaging technically with your client on your behalf. Working cooperatively with our precoating clients for a successful outcome is always our goal.
