› Aggressive vapours in conjunction with small formations of
condensation can lead to fast corrosion of the hardware
components.

(tannic)acidmustbetreatedwithsuitablesurfacecoatingsto
ensure that these contents do not evaporate from the timber.
› No acetic acid or cross-linked acidic sealing compounds or those
with the aforementioned contents may be used.
