TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

We invented a new coating additive that enables manufacturers to switch to more environmentally friendly water-based stains without sacrificing the performance or drastically increasing the cost. This will help significantly reduce the usage of oil-based wood stains that contain flammable and hazardous volatile organic solvents.
