Over the past decade, one of the hottest trends in wood deck finishing has been the use of a heavy-bodied solid color finish. In the past, the experts at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory have warned us that there are pitfalls to using a film-forming finish over horizontal wood decks, and yet this is precisely the type of product for which the consumer base is asking. There are now several coating manufacturers providing precisely this type of product, with good initial results.
In this presentation we will cover a baseline look at these products currently on the market. Based on their results we developed a model formula and compared the performance of several formulating choices, including binder choice. Along with several conventional binders, we will feature a developmental binder that has demonstrated an excellent potential for use in this type of application.
