Sansin - WoodForce
Weathering System for Exteriors
WoodForce is an ultra low-VOC, durable wood treatment that allows exterior wood to weather naturally while offering exceptional water repellency and protection from blackening, discoloration and wood rot. Easily mixed to create standard and custom barnboard colors or vintage effects, while letting the exposed surface weather naturally and more evenly.
Product Formula - Primary Function - Key Benefit
WoodForce Clear: Protects the wood aggressively while allowing it to weather completely naturally. Prevents water absorption and biological activity; requires reapplication every 5 years.
WoodForce Accel: Speeds up the natural wood-aging process without damaging the underlying wood fibers.Delivers an accelerated, uniform vintage look much faster than normal environmental exposure.
WoodForce Intermix: Provides pre-tinted base colors (including Light Gray, Dark Gray, Brown, Dark Brown, Red, Dark Red, and White). Can be custom-blended to match exact architectural specifications or specific weathered tones.
Sansin - SDF
A penetrating finish for exterior or interior wood surfaces.
Sansin SDF provides tough, effective protection for wood siding. SDF’s specially formulated oils and resins penetrate into the wood, providing outstanding water resistance and UV protection in a wide range of natural, semi-transparent and even solid colors. Thanks to SDF’s unique water-borne technology, it provides complete protection in 2 to 3 coats depending on your choice of maintenance cycle and finish, for added durability SDF Topcoat is used for the second and optional third coat for an even richer, satin finish. When the timeline is tight, SDF can be applied as a 1 coat matt finish, in this case it is recommended to adequately pigment the product. Consider doubling the tint load of the first coat of SDF for adequate tone and protection.
And because SDF is designed to be highly water resistant for wet climates, it’s a natural choice for homes and structures in moisture-rich environments. Not only does SDF protect the outside of your wood, it also protects the inside by allowing the wood to “breathe” which helps prevent moisture from getting trapped in the wood and causing rot.
SDF is rated by siding manufacturers as one of the best Naturals finishes available.
Sansin - DEC
Deep penetrating two-coat protection.
Between the BBQ, the patio furniture and family get-togethers, decks have to handle more traffic than any other wood around your house. That’s why Sansin Dec is designed as a matte, rugged two-coat formula that penetrates deeply, protecting your wood from within. Or, you can use Dec as the first coat, followed by Dec Topcoat for a fuller finish.
Where many deck coatings easily peel and scratch, exposing wood to the elements, Dec enhances wood tissue with lasting protection from rain and UV exposure – and is ideal for ground level or low-lying decks. It can be applied to wet wood with a moisture content of up to 21%.
Perfect for cedar, exotic hardwoods, Southern pine, pressure-treated lumber – whatever your deck is made of, Sansin Dec’s deep penetrating solids will protect its beauty and character – even in the most demanding freeze-thaw climates. Like all Sansin Enviro Stains, it is environmentally friendly; and by allowing wood to “breathe“ naturally, helps maintain a healthy moisture equilibrium that inhibits decay.
Dec is formulated with higher solids and stronger pigmentation to look better and last longer. But since even the toughest decks need to be maintained, Sansin Dec makes it easy to keep your deck looking beautiful with just a simple cleaning and maintenance coat. Available in a huge selection of stunning colors.
Sansin - ENS
A beautiful premium finish for any project, new or old.
Sansin ENS is a durable two-coat finish that can be applied to virtually any surface, from windows, doors and railings to siding and decks – and even to improve the performance of other coatings. ENS is often used with a first coat of Sansin Dec, Foundation, SDF, or Classic, resulting in a finish of exceptional beauty on projects with longer maintenance cycles. Available in gloss, satin, low lustre and extra low lustre.
ENS is a tough, flexible finish resistant to wear, doesn’t discolor over time, and provides some of the toughest UV protection available. Whatever your project, the exceptional adhesion characteristics of ENS – in natural, semi-transparent and solid stains and finishes, as well as solid hide paints – will raise it to a new standard of beauty and durability.
