Benjamin Moore offers Arborcoat wood stains
Benjamin Moore’s Arborcoat line of
waterborne exterior stains is comprised
of five products formulated for decks and
siding applicatiosn. Arborcoat stains
repel UV rays, are water and mildew
resistant and help prevent scuffing and
the wear and tear of constant foot traffic.
Benjamin Moore now offers Arborcoat
waterborne wood exterior stains. The
line consists of five products: Transparent, Semi Transparent, Protective
Clear Coat, Semi Solid or Solid.
Transparent, Semi Transparent and
Protective Clear Coat are options that
promise exceptional protection while
allowing the natural color and texture of
the wood to show through. Distinguishing the two minimally opaque
stain finishes is a unique composition of
both water dispersible alkyds with
acrylic resins. Thanks to the alkyds, the
stain is able to deeply penetrate the
wood; it’s the acrylic resins that contribute to the durability over time. As for
the acrylic Protective Clear Coat, it is
especially effective and recommended as
a final deck finish atop either of the two
transparent stains, ensuring added
defense against foot traffic and the punishing elements of the outdoors. In fact,
an annual application of the Protective
Clear Coat is optimum, providing paint
contractors with the opportunity for
ongoing maintenance for a client. For
those wanting to completely mask the
wood grain but retain the textural qualities, there is a choice of Arborcoat Semi
Solid or Solid finishes. These are acrylic
formulations, with performance properties that are equally superior protection
as their aforementioned siblings. Semi
Solid is available in 75 popular colors;
Solid in any color.
Arborcoat stains help repel UV rays,
are water and mildew resistant, and
help prevent scuffing. When tinted, the
low odor stains feature Benjamin
Moore’s Gennex waterborne colorant,
adding no further VOCs to a low VOC
count of less than 100 grams per liter.
All Arborcoat stains have been formu-
lated for decks or siding; they are easy
to apply with roller or spray plus back
brush; and, recoating can be rapidly
completed, increasing productivity and
bottom line results for a contractor.
