DEFY-ColorTipsDEFAULTNano-Technology Improves Stain Performance 200-600%

SaverSystems has joint ventured with several companies to develop a new long lasting stain technology.  Our research efforts over the last year and a half have lead Project_buttonto a new development in the performance of exterior, semi-transparent wood finishes to protect your deck.

A newly developed nano-technology used in combination with our existing technology has been found to significantly increase the durability and weather resistance of our synthetic resin based deck stains. This new light stabilizing nano-technology actually works by blocking and absorbing the harmful UV rays from the sun that damage your wood.

Not only does this new technology help prevent wood from graying it also helps prevent water intrusion while resisting  fungal growth. The independent test results are in, and below are photo’s of the actual test boards which show how the new DEFY Extreme new technology stacks up against the best selling national brands.

Defy Extreme Wood Stain utilizes Nano Particles (Similar to Sunscreen) and High Grade Synthetic Resins. When combined they will reflect the sun and provide UV protection that has never been seen in a Tinted Wood Finish. This is a First in the Industry

Defy Extreme Wood Stain can be used on interior or exterior smooth hardwood surfaces including: wood siding, decks, outdoor wood furniture, and other hardwood surfaces.

Defy Extreme - Wood Stain:

  • Utilizing Nano-Particles and Synthetic Resins. Nano Light-Stabilizers block the sun's harmful UV rays preventing graying
  • Nano particles help prevent mold and algae
  • Semi-Transparent wood finish adds color and protection to your wood
  • Stains and seals your wood from water penetration
  • Water-Based with easy soap and water cleanup
  • VOC Compliant and Eco-Friendly formula
  • Leading protection that will outperform all tinted transparent wood stains

    I have a brand new pt lumber deck i want to stain. can i apply defy to the decking/railing/pergola now or do i have to wait? If i change my mind later and want to do paint or an oil based stain - will I have to strip the Defy? I guess I am wondering whether I can do oil over water or vice versa.

    The Extreme contains zinc oxide. This can help eliminate mold spores. I would think you would be okay.

    I appreciate the feedback. Let me simplify my question...

    For a moldy old composite, washed with bleach and rinsed, that looks pretty good at first blush, would you recommend applying Defy Extreme Tint? Or deep seated mildew spores that are caught underneath the sealer will create problems?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately we do not have any history with the "Wet and Forget" product. We do not know if there will be any compatibility issues when using the Defy Staining products on top of it. We cannot advise the use of our products and be confident of no potential issues.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the extended question but I think it is useful to give you some background...

    My Trex composite is 10 years old in San Diego coastal area. Had mildew on it and looked bad. Sprayed with bleach solution, power washed, then used Wet & Forget to inhibit mold & mildew.

    Instructions for Wet & Forget say it can take a longer time to work (2+ months) and needs occasion rain and wind to work. It is meant to clean the composite of mold and mildew without scrubbing and inhibit future growth. My guess is the occasional watering stimulates spores to "sprout" and the active ingredient then kills it.

    I am using Wet & Forget because even though the deck looks clean (albeit faded drab grey) after the bleach wash, I read that bleach does not kill deep seated spores so mildew will come back with a vengeance after bleach and water washes. So figure I need to use something like Wet & Forget to keep the mildew at bay and make sure the spores are gone as BEFORE I seal/stain with Defy Extreme.

    Is my logic correct?

    OR... can I apply Defy Extreme right now, after the bleach cleaning and one application of Wet & Forget? Do I need to wash off the Wet & Forget stuff or can I apply Defy on top of it? Afterwards, shall I still use Wet & Forget on top of Defy to keep mildew at bay? (would it work, given than Defy Extreme is water repellent? or water vapors will help to have Wet & Forget still work?)

    New wood should dry for at least a couple of months. You should then clean and brighten the wood. I would use the Defy Hardwood/Cedar Stain for new cedar wood.

    I have built a new Cedar deck in Toronto, Canada. I've read different things about when to stain it. Should I stain immediately? In a few weeks? Next year? Should I use the cleaner and brightener then stain it?

    I planned to use Defy Extreme in Cedartone. Is there something better? Should I use the Defy for Hardwoods?

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    If the floor is intake and not heavily worn then I would clean and rcoat with the Defy Extreme.

    Two years ago we applied Defy Epoxy Cedar tone to our deck. This year we need to re-coat at least the floor. The railings still seem okay. Do I need to strip the deck floor before applying Extreme? If so would I need to do the same if applying Epoxy?
    Thanks,
    Gil

    Deck stains are not supposed to have a shine or gloss. You cannot put the Defy Extreme Clear on top of Behr and the Extreme does not have a shine or gloss as it is a penetrating coating.

    Used Behr deck waterproofing stain and it has no shine or gloss finish. Im hoping i can use your crystal clear coat over it .

    1. I would say it is a 8 as far as applying. Really depends on the day and how fast you are moving.
    2. You can clean and reapply without stripping.
    3. I would say 3 times before application buildup would cause the need for removal.

    Hello,
    I am looking at your Defy Extreme stains and have a few questions.
    I am looking to offer deck staining to my customers and I'm looking to use a product that will hold up well in the Northeast.
    1. On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to apply this product with regards to overlap?
    2. Can I use this product and offer service contracts to reapply every 18 - 24 months with out stripping the deck and if so
    3. How many times can I re-coat before stripping is required?

    Cedartone does not match Coastal Cedar color exactly.

    You could put a light coat of the Extreme over the original as long as the wood is still absorbent.

    I just used up left over Defy Original Coastal Cedar. I wanted to buy another gallon, the only thing it is offered in five gallon containers. I only need a gallon to finish so if I purchased Defy Extreme, two things; Can I put a second coat over fresh Defy Original Synthetic and can I recoat 3 year old Original with the Extreme? Does Cedar Tone equal Coastal Cedar?

    It would be best to strip off the Sikkens prior to applying the Defy. This will allow the Defy to properly adhere to the wood.

    Best to use both the Defy Wood cleaner and the defy Wood Brightener to prep a new deck for stain.

    No you cannot add pigment to the Defy Stains.

    Can Defy extreme have pigment added to it to match the color of a previous coat of Cabot oil-based stain?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly.

    The clear will not last as long as one of the tints. The Natural Pine color will last 2-3 times longer and will enhance the natural color of the wood as if wet with water.

    Hi,

    We live in New Hampshire and have a covered farmers porch. The wood floors are Fir. We stripped the paint to the bare wood. The porch receives minimal sunshine and no rain except for outer edges. We do get some snow in winter. I like the natural look of the wood and was thinking of using the clear stain finish. How will this hold up over time on a surface like fir that is protected from most elements?

    Thanks. Dave

    I would go with the Defy Extreme Cedartone over the Clear. In addition I would wait until next season. No need now.

    I just purchased a new cedar swing set and it came pre-stained. My question is on the defy extreme clear vs. cedartone. The pre-stain looks similiar in color to the cedartone but would fear it would clash. Also, is it recommended that I seal immediately after assembly?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly.
    opwdecks · 07/09/2011
    The only reason it would do that is if you over applied or did not prep the wood properly first. Did you prep and if so what did you use?

    Hi
    We applied the defy extreme clear on our brand new cedar deck fence this morning and hours later we are still seeing a white coat on the wood. It was absorbing well and We thought we were applying thinly enough. Will this disappear or are we doing something wrong? How can we get our wood back to normal?
    Thanks

    The Defy extreme stain is a penetrating stain then can be cleaned and re coated, If stripping is needed it can be done fairly easily as it does not film on top of the wood like an acrylic deck stain.

    Bill Ford · 06/30/2011
    Is the Extreme Nano product considered a penetrating stain like your traditional epoxy fortified deck stain says it is? If the Extreme is used on a deck in two years when its time to clean again can you simply add a top coat and if so will it penetrate and absorb into the wood like a traditional oil based stain or will I have to strip it off every two years before applying a top coat? The reason I ask is that the Extreme is advertised as a stain and "Sealer" which to me implies that it may sit on top of the wood versus penetrating it which to me would seem that it could prevent future coats from being able to penetrate it. If and when stripping is required how difficult will it be to remove it as compared to traditional oil based stains or for that matter your traditional "Epoxy Fortified Product" that does not have the nano technology? Just spent four weeks stripping off 9 layers of acrylic deck stain and I never want to go through the cost of the special chemicals required to cut it nor the time and aggravation every again. In other words, when the product starts to fail is it going to create a lot more cost and effort to maintain it?

    1. Behr is not easy to remove since it does apply like a paint. I would get a high quality wood stripper then if needed sand the rest of.
    2. For cedar wood I would suggest the Defy Hardwood/Cedar stains as it penetrates better.
    3. Typically no you do not need to strip when recoating.
    4. Every couple of years in Michigan is normal.
    5. Our store is in Rochester Hills, Mi if you would like to come in for some advice.
