Intergrain UVC & DWD

The history of clear and transparent finishes is littered with failures.
UVC and DWD are the result of long term commitment to offer the Australian comsumer the very best timber finishes that modern technology can offer to solve the age old problem of maintaining the natural appearance of exterior timber with minimum maintenance. Ten years market exposure in all extremes of the Australian climate and intensive testing at the Allunga Exposure Laboratory, North Queensland, have clearly shown the superiority of UVC and DWD against competitive products in long term durability, timber protection and appearance.

THE INTERGRAIN UVC and DWD BUYER ADVANTAGE CHECK LIST:

  1. Australia's top selling exterior transparent water-based timber finishes.
  2. Longer lasting protection proven during 10 years on the Australian market in all extremes of climate and in extensive testing against competitive products at Allunga Exposure Laboratory, North Queensland.
  3. 100% Australian owned.
  4. Researched, developed and manufactured in Australia for Australia's harsh climatic conditions.
  5. Benchmark performance, the products against which the others are compared.
  6. New 2 coat* UVC and DWD, provide the proven protection and beauty of Intergrain with one less coat which represents a saving of 33% on labour/time and money.
  7. Australia's most experienced manufacturer of transparent water-based xterior timber finishes.
  8. A total commitment to quality, technical innovation and ongoing research and product improvement.
  9. Greater transparency than many competitive finishes.
  10. Unlike many oil-based finishes UVC & DWD will not blacken with mould and oxidation.
  11. Suitable for all timber species including hardwoods and softwoods. Penetrating oil-type finishes are often unable to penetrate dense or resinous Australian timbers such as Cypress Pine, Jarrah, Spotted Gum etc. resulting in poor protection and premature fading and checking of the timber.
  12. Greater UV protection - the film of UVC and DWD filters out damaging UV rays before they reach the timber surface. With penetrating oil-type finishes there is no effective barrier to prevent the UV rays reaching and degrading the timber surface.
  13. Environmentally friendly and safe to handle. Low VOC, water clean up.
  14. Based on an advanced partially UV curing acrylic polymer with built in lifetime flexibility to accommodate fluctuations in timber dimensions due to varying moisture content. By comparison oil-based finishes oxidise, harden and embrittle with age.
  15. Moisture vapour permeable, can be painted over damp timber.
  16. Active anti-fungal and algal protection.
  17. Tintable to a range of timber colours.
  18. No sanding required between coats.
  19. Specified for many prestigous projects including The Laguna Quays Resort, Proserpine, Queensland, The Marina Mirage, Gold Coast, and The Kingfisher Resort, Fraser Island.
