AVANSE™ ST-410

• Excellent initial appearance–crisp colors that bring out the natural warmth of the wood
• Outstanding adhesion
• Superior color retention
• Durable longer lasting coating

Environmentally Advanced

• Replaces traditional solvent based technologies
• Does not require coalescent
• No heavy metal driers
• APEO free

Unique particle stabilization

• Excellent flow and wetting
• Very good lapping
• Rapid hardness development – even over high tannin woods
• Excellent early water resistance

Application Properties

• AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion is a 100% acrylic emulsion developed specifically for low VOC exterior semitransparent wood stains.
• The unique polymer stabilization in AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion helps to extend the workability of this polymer as it dries, giving good flow and lapping on porous surfaces.
• Adhesion to Metal Based CCA Replacement Wood Preservatives
• The unique interaction of the AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion with metals also gives excellent adhesion on new wood treated with copper metal based wood preservatives.

AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion

AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion has better adhesion to copper based wood preservatives than competitive acrylic stain binders.
Early Water Resistance and Hardness Development

• Stains based on AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion have very good early water resistance and hardness development on decking substrates.
• Especially on high tannin woods like cedar or redwood, the early water resistance and hardness is much better than water dispersible alkyds or alkyd acrylic hybrids.
• Tannins from these woods can slow the oxidative cure of these systems, giving a tacky, water sensitive film after an overnight dry.

AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion                                     Alkyd Acrylic Hybrid                                        Water based Solvent Alkyd

AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion has excellent wet abrasion resistance in one or two coats after an overnight dry. It is better than an alkyd/acrylic semitransparent stain and a solvent based semitransparent stain on cedar.

Exterior Durability

• The 100% acrylic backbone in AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion gives excellent exterior durability.
• Properly formulated AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion stains protect the wood and provide a long service life.
• Exposure studies have shown that stains based on AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion have exterior durability equal to or better than commercial solvent or water based semitransparent stains.
• The picture below shows the excellent fade resistance and adhesion of the AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion compared to commercial semitransparent stains.

AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion has better fade resistance, adhesion and erosion resistance than the commercial semitransparent stains.

Store products in tightly closed original containers at temperatures recommended on the product label.

• Keep combustible and/or flammable products and their vapors away from heat,sparks, flames and other sources of ignition including static discharge.
• Processing or operating at temperatures near or above product flashpoint may pose a fire hazard.
• Use appropriate grounding and bonding techniques to manage static discharge hazards.
• Failure to maintain proper volume level when using immersion heaters can expose tank and solution to excessive heat resulting in a possible combustion hazard, particularly when plastic tanks are used.
