CLEAR COATINGS TO PROTECT WOOD FROM DISCOLORING AND GREYING ON EXTERIOR EXPOSURE

摘要

A clear air drying coating composition adapted for the coating of wood to preserve its freshly prepared appearance is disclosed in which a solution of an unsaturated oil-containing resin in a solvent medium containing at least 50% of mineral spirits has stably dispersed therein from about 13 to 63 parts of granulated paraffin wax having an average melting point in the range of 50 DEG C.-70 DEG C. and from 0.5 to 20 parts of a transparent ultraviolet-absorbing pigment per 100 parts of the resin, the pigment being preferably yellow to maintain the natural color of the freshly prepared wood.
