SunCare™ UV concentrate
Lignin protection additive
Description
SunCare UV concentrate additive is a lignin protection and stabilizing additive for primers and stains that are used
with UV-cured or oxidative drying topcoats. It delivers a foundational level of protection against photo-oxidation and
other types of degradation in untreated interior and exterior woods. Because SunCare UV concentrate additive
stabilizes the lignin in the wood itself, formulated wood treatment products using this technology exhibit consistently
higher levels of protection and long-term performance that can enable warrantable ‘long-lasting’ claims on finished
products.
