MPI (Master Painters Institute) had a vision for a architectural coating industry that produces paints and coatings with balanced performance, safely and appropriately. In the past wood and deck coatings weren’t always environmentally friendly! Oil Based stains can contain both organic and inorganic compounds or materials, some of which may impact our environment by releasing solvents into the ozone layer through their life cycle.
Now there are MPI Green Certified Wood Deck Stains on the market that embrace this vision!
Exterior Wood and Deck stains historically were solvent based, many have now been developed into water-based formulas. Saversystems.com has lead the way by developing Exterior Wood and Deck Stains that improve the endurance, while reducing environmental impact. Defy Deck Stains have achieved MPI Green Performance Standard that takes into consideration VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and product performance.
Defy Stains have been developed with the MPI Green Standard. DEFY Epoxy Fortified wood stain, a high performance semi-transparent stain, is ideally suited for staining pressure treated wood. It can be used on interior or exterior wood surfaces including: decking, wood siding, log homes, fencing, shake shingles, wood furniture, and other naturally porous wood surfaces. Defy Deck Stain for Hardwoods is a synthetic, semi-transparent deck sealer specifically formulated for difficult to penetrate woods such as cedar, mahogany, ipe, redwood, and other exotic hardwoods or “oil rich” woods.
With the ever changing regulations be assured that the Master Painters Institute and Saversytems.com have been working on producing the highest quality, environmentally conscience wood deck stains on the market today!
