WHAT IS
UV BOOST?
UV Boost is a concentrated water-based liquid stain additive that
contains a new ultraviolet light inhibitor that minimizes the darkening
of wood. When used inside it will help prevent the “picture frame”
effect where some areas of your wall covered by pictures will remain
light while the rest of the wood in the wall darkens due to UV exposure.
WHO
SHOULD USE UV BOOST?
UV Boost is designed for
use in water based interior stains in areas of the country subject to
high intensity sunlight. These areas include the southeast, southwest
and higher altitude areas. Over time the ultraviolet light in sunlight
darkens the lignin component of wood.
HOW DO
YOU USE UV BOOST?
- Shake container of UV
Boost.
- Add entire contents to
the appropriately sized full container of stain.
- Shake or stir the
container of stain or finish to thoroughly mix.
- Apply stain or finish
according to the labeled directions.
HOW
DOES UV BOOST WORK?
When added to the first
coat of semi-transparent water-based stains such as Lifeline Interior or
Natural Home Interior, UV Boost combines with the lignin in the wood to
delay the wood beneath the stain from graying. The photos below show the
differences between two identical samples of wood that have both been
exposed to 1200 hours of sunlight. The sample on the left has been
treated with clear water base stain with UV Boost and the sample on the
right has had no treatment.
ARE
THERE LIMITS TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UV BOOST?
Yes. UV Boost is only
effective when used in the first coat of stain or finish applied to bare
wood. UV Boost must be in direct contact with the wood for it to
work. Since the concentration of the active components differ,
be sure to use the appropriate size for the amount of stain or finish
you are using. UV Boost is not effective when added to topcoats or
stains applied over an existing finish.
HOW DO
I STORE UV BOOST?
UV BOOST should be stored
at moderate temperatures. Do not allow UV BOOST to freeze.
