Easy Weatherproofing Protection for Wood
DEFY Deck Stain Extreme was developed with Nano Technology to create a durability that has simply not been available in Deck Stains before. It contains Nano Particles that reflect the damaging ultraviolet rays (UV) of the sun. When you reduce the size of these particles down to a nano level, they become invisible to the naked eye. By their size, Nano Particles are between 100 and 1 nanometers, which equals one billionth of a meter. Nano Technology is innovative chemistry originally used by artisans as far back as the 9th century.
If your deck was constructed with a hard to penetrate hardwood like Cedar, Mahogany or Redwood consider DEFY Deck Stain for Hardwoods instead.
Zinc Oxide
An active ingredient of DEFY Deck Stain Extreme, Zinc Oxide is an inorganic compound widely used as an additive in many everyday products. These products include plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, fire retardants, and first aid tapes. Sunscreen lotions often depend on Zinc Oxide for superior UV blocking properties as well. In transparent stain terms, Zinc Oxide helps provide a finish that, when dry, will give you long lasting UV protection. In fact, light stabilizing Nano Technology improves stain performance by up to 600%.
Change of Chemical Properties
Chemical properties and makeup can be scientifically changed. This aids DEFY Deck Stain Extreme in areas where moisture and humidity are a huge problem, as Nano Particles also have an extreme resistance to the growth of mold, mildew, algae and fungi. Defy Deck Stain Extreme, quite simply, creates a durability in semi-transparent Deck Stains that has not been previously available. By using Defy Deck Stain Extreme your wood surfaces will stay protected longer and wood graying will be less severe.
Simply a better product
DEFY Extreme Wood Stain for Hardwoods contains powerful sunscreens to block damaging Ultra Violet (UV) rays. UV rays cause wood to turn gray and become susceptible to water penetration and decay. Oil based products naturally attract mold, mildew and algae whereas the synthetic resins aid in its prevention.
Except Clear. As Clear does not contain pigment it allows wood to gray naturally.
