DEFY Water Repellent Wood Stain
Synthetic resin wood stain for superior mold and mildew resistance
Water and sunlight rob wood of its natural strength and beauty. Wet and dry cycles cause wood to expand and contract which leads to warping, swelling and checking.
Sunlight breaks down wood cells causing them to turn gray and become susceptible to water penetration and decay. Fortunately, this deterioration can easily be prevented with proper care and maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly
DEFY® Original Synthetic Water Repellent Wood Stain is a unique water-based system that protects wood without damaging the environment. Most wood finishes are formulated with natural oils, such as linseed or soya that serve as a food source for mold and mildew. But the synthetic resins in DEFY® give it superior mold and mildew resistance without using excessive fungicides.
Superior Technology
DEFY® is a water repellent that penetrates deeply and adheres to wood pores while allowing water vapors to escape. This advantage enables DEFY® Wood Stains to expand and contract without cracking or peeling. And DEFY® contains UV blockers that last longer than those in any comparable wood finish. Two coats applied wet on wet, go on smoothly and leave wood with the rich look of fine furniture.
The Choice of Professionals
DEFY® Original Synthetic Water Repellent Wood Stain is the choice of professionals who demand performance, but appreciate the advantages of water-based products that are easy to use and maintain. You invest a great deal of time and money in your home and with proper maintenance wood should retain its beauty and last a lifetime. So whether your wood is pine log, cedar siding, redwood, or CCA decking, there is no better way to protect your investment and the environment than with DEFY® wood finishes.
