Oak Restorer® is a mid-pH cleaner that has been specially formulated to be gentle on oak surfaces whilst still providing a powerful clean that will not taint your wine.  It penetrates to remove fine solids within the porous would surface.

A cream-white, free-flowing, homogeneous blend of fine particulate solids of medium strength alkaline salts and proprietary FG surfactants.

Oak Restorer®  in a water aqueous solution removes wine tartar, wine-colour film, protein and organic soil to completely clean internal oak surfaces and rinse cleanly.

Principal Features

• Oak Restorer® has been proven to be non-tainting to wine and oak.
• Supports WH&S.  Low VOC, no reactivity in water, no toxic vapour, non-dangerous good for transport and handling.
• Readily solubilised in water.  Low chemical demand at 1-2% of water volume.
• In testing, Oak Restorer® cleans more thoroughly, to a greater depth than the current accepted practice of hot water pressure washing.
• Thoroughly cleans the internal contact surfaces extending the effective working life of oak storage vessels as wine maturation vessels.  Prospectively reduces spending on barrels.
