UV Boost

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?

  1. Shake container of UV Boost.
  2. Add entire contents to the appropriately sized full container of stain.
  3. Shake or stir the container of stain or finish to thoroughly mix.
  4. 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.

HOW IS UV BOOST SHIPPED?

UV Boost is shipped in 240 ml bottles for use with 5 gallon containers of water based stain and 120 ml bottles for use with 1 gallon containers of water based stain. 99% of our orders are shipped within 24 hours of order receipt via UPS Ground.
