Sherwin-Williams To
Debut Four New High
Performance Formaldehyde
Free Finishes at AWFS Fair
2013
Filling out its line of high performance,
formaldehyde-free finishes, Sherwin-Williams will launch four additional
products in its F3 line-up during the
Association of Woodworking and
Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS) Fair in
Las Vegas, July 24-27: Sher-Wood F3
Hi-Bild PreCat White Lacquer, Sher-Wood F3 Kemvar Plus Conversion
Varnish, Sher-Wood F3 Kemvar Plus
Surfacer, and Sher-Wood F3 PreCat
Primer/Surfacer.
With the addition of these coatings
to its existing line of F3 products for
formaldehyde-free finishing, Sherwin-Williams expands the number of coating
options available to help wood finishers
eliminate formaldehyde from their finishing process.
F3 products are traditional, catalyzed
July 2013
products with none of the formaldehyde
typically emitted during application and
curing, and offer the same performance
and aesthetics without concern of formaldehyde. Finishers benefit by eliminating
both the strong odor of formaldehyde
from their finishing process, as well as the
residual formaldehyde odor that often
causes complaints during installation and
unpacking of wood products, according
to the company.
The existing F3 line-up includes
Sher-Wood F3 Hi-Bild PreCat Lacquer,
Sher-Wood F3 Kemvar Varnish, and
Sher-Wood F3 Kemvar Sealer. All F3
finishes are available for use as drop-in coatings on existing finishing lines,
saving end-users the expense and time
of purchasing and installing new finishing equipment. Sher-Wood F3 Kemvar
Varnish has achieved Greenguard
Certification, certified to Greenguard
standards for low chemical emissions
into indoor air during product usage.
Rust-Oleum Introduces
Inexpensive Alternative To
Deck Replacement
Rust-Oleum Deck and Concrete Restore
has introduced an inexpensive alternative to deck replacement. Deck and
Concrete Restore is an easy to apply
repair coating that revives the surface
while offering maximum protection to
preserve the deck for years to come, according to the company. Offering ten
times the thickness of regular paint
or stain, it is formulated to resurface
most wooden and composite decks and
concrete patios. It offers a solution for
decks that are structurally sound, but
aesthetically unattractive, Deck and
Concrete Restore encapsulates splinters
and fills cracks, making a safe, beautiful, slip-resistant surface that is barefoot friendly. It is also ideal for concrete
surfaces such as walkways, steps, patios, porches and more.
Deck and Concrete Restore offers a
scuff, peel and chip-resistant finish that
withstands temperature changes, heavy
foot traffic and furniture abrasion. The
product is a pre-mixed, water-based, one-part polymer coating containing synthetic and mineral pigments.

Deck and Concrete Restore
repels water but is also breathable, which allows water vapor
to pass through the film helping
to resist blistering and peeling.
With Deck and Concrete Restore, contractors can complete the entire project in
two days and the surface can be walked
on within 48 hours of application.
Deck Concrete and Restore is available in 60 popular colors or it can be
custom-tinted. It is available in the following sizes: one-gallon cans that cover
approximately 25 square feet with two
coats; four-gallon pails that cover approximately 100 square feet with two
coats and a kit that includes two one-gallon cans of Deck and Concrete Restore
and one nine inch Restore Roller that
