Cuprinol sets environmental standards

Cuprinol Trade has recently added to its range of landscaping products with the launch of Cuprinol Trade Quick Drying Cladding and Fence Opaque Finish, in advance of legislation to reduce the levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) contained in coatings in 2010.

Cuprinol Trade Quick Drying Cladding and Fence Opaque Finish is a water-based opaque finish that has been formulated specifically to protect rough-sawn or smooth planed fencing, cladding and landscaping features. The new water-based formula offers all the high performance characteristics of its solvent-based equivalent, Cuprinol Trade Cladding and Fence Opaque Finish but with the added peace of mind that the product is environmentally friendly and can be used safely near people and plants.

Available in six colours, the opaque finish offers an attractive finish that not only enhances the natural character of the wood and the surrounding areas but also hides any imperfections in the wood such as previous coatings and graffiti. The finish is touch dry in just two hours and re-coatable in four hours, creating minimal disruption to any public spaces.

The new product from Cuprinol Trade can be applied by traditional methods such as a brush, roller or airless sprayer or new methods such as the Cuprinol Power Sprayer. The cordless battery powered sprayer from Cuprinol provides the quickest and easiest solution to decorating fencing as well as providing a high quality finish to help you, save time on the job.
