Benjamin Moore’s New low-VOC stain makes summer projects ‘green’
Sunday, May 16, 2010 
Hitting the backyard deck with a new coat of stain is practically a rite of spring and summer. Making it a whole lot easier—and a lot “greener”—is ARBORCOAT, a new super premium waterborne deck and siding stain from Benjamin Moore.
ARBORCOAT is powered by the same patented Gennex waterborne colourant technology developed by Benjamin Moore over the past decade. It is a system that has dispelled every argument that performance is sacrificed or compromised by going “green.”
ARBORCOAT is available at Leaside Paint Centre in a range of five opacities—Transparent, Semi Transparent and Protective Clear Coat, as options to allow the natural colour and texture of the wood to show through; and Semi Solid and Solid finishes for masking the wood grain while retaining the textural qualities. Semi Solid is available in 75 popular colours. Solid is available in any colour.
ARBORCOAT stains help repel damaging UV rays, are water and mildew resistant, and help prevent scuffing and the wear of constant foot traffic. When tinted, the low odor stains add no further VOCs to a low VOC count of less than 100 grams per liter. All ARBORCOAT stains have been formulated for decks or siding; they are easy to apply with roller or spray plus back brush; and, re-coating can be rapidly completed, increasing productivity and bottom line results for a contractor. Clean up also is simple with soap and water, making harsh solvents unnecessary.
For your ‘green’ painting projects, Leaside Paint has zero-VOC Natura paint. Other low-VOC Benjamin Moore paints include premium Aura paint—a self-priming paint that never requires more than two-coats, no matter how dark the shade; and ben®, Benjamin Moore’s newest premium paint that comes at a price to fit your budget.
