At Platinum Chemicals, one of the UK’s leading distributors of Sovereign products, we offer a professional and versatile range of Sovereign Wood Treatments designed to treat, protect, and enhance timber in all types of environments.
Whether you’re looking to eradicate active woodworm infestations, protect against dry rot and fungal decay, or apply decorative and weather-resistant finishes, this collection covers every essential aspect of timber care. Developed by Sovereign Chemicals, a trusted name in the preservation industry, these products are widely used across construction, joinery, restoration, and property maintenance sectors.
Trusted Woodworm and Fungal Protection
Among the most critical issues in timber preservation are wood-boring insects and fungal decay, which can silently compromise the integrity of structural and decorative timbers. The Sovereign Wood Treatments range includes powerful formulations designed to target and eradicate active infestations while offering long-term protection against future attacks.
Products such as Sovereign M8 Woodworm Concentrate and Sovereign M9 Dual Purpose Concentrate offer broad-spectrum protection against all life stages of wood-boring insects and common timber-rotting fungi. These microemulsion concentrates are water-dilutable, solvent-free, and virtually odourless, making them suitable for use in enclosed or sensitive areas. The deep-penetrating action ensures that timber is treated from within, protecting not just the surface but also the internal structure of the wood.
For heavier-duty applications and thick-section timbers, Sovereign Deepkill offers enhanced penetration and lasting efficacy. Formulated as a cream emulsion, it is designed to treat hard-to-reach infestations such as Deathwatch Beetle and to neutralise dry and wet rot in structural beams, joists, and large timbers. Approved for use even in sensitive ecological locations such as bat roosts (with SNCO approval), it represents the highest standard in remedial timber treatment.
Decorative Wood Stains and UV-Resistant Finishes
The Sovereign SX70 Range brings together a selection of premium solvent-based coatings designed to stain, seal, and protect both soft and hardwood surfaces. These products are ideal for joinery, fencing, garden furniture, cladding, and exterior doors and windows, offering superior protection against weathering, UV degradation, and fungal growth.
Sovereign SX70 Wood Stain is the mainstay of the range, delivering a durable, microporous, water-repellent finish in a wide choice of colours. Its formulation combines flexible alkyd resins, flow additives, UV absorbers, and biocides to enhance both appearance and longevity. For older or weathered timber that needs refreshing, Sovereign SX70 Reviver acts as a clear topcoat, reviving colour and extending the life of stained wood without altering the shade or grain pattern.
For untreated timber, Sovereign SX70 Basecoat Primer offers the ideal first layer, delivering excellent adhesion, water resistance, and protection during handling, transport, or installation. As part of a complete wood care system, SX70 products work together to protect and preserve timber while enhancing its natural beauty.
Pre-Treatment for Joinery, Cladding, and Garden Timber
Where protection is required before staining or painting, Sovereign Timber Treatment and Sovereign Timber Treatment Clear Water Repellent offer fast-drying, solvent-based protection for both internal and external timber. These treatments contain UV-stable pigments and biocides, offering a durable base layer that prevents premature decay and damage from moisture ingress. Suitable for a wide range of applications, from skirting and soffits to fencing and sheds, these treatments can be overpainted or stained to match the final finish.
Both clear and pigmented options are available, offering flexibility based on the application area and aesthetic requirements. Their low-odour, solvent-based formulation ensures quick drying and ease of application with minimal disruption, whether used in a workshop or on site.
Professional-Grade Solutions for Wood Preservation
The Sovereign Wood Treatments range delivers a comprehensive solution for anyone working with timber, whether it’s for structural repair, preventative maintenance, or decorative finishing. From high-performance woodworm and dry rot treatments to professional-grade stains and primers, every product in this range is formulated to meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and effectiveness.
With options for deep penetration, high UV resistance, overcoat compatibility, and specialist ecological approvals, the range is trusted by surveyors, contractors, preservation experts, and builders across the UK. At Platinum Chemicals, we supply this full range to support your timber treatment needs—whatever the scale or complexity of the project.
