Stain For Exterior Wood Decks - Messmer's UV Plus Now Part Of MPI #33 Approved Products List

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Messmer's Inc., a leading manufacturer of exterior wood and deck stains, announced today that its deck stains, UV Plus and UV Plus for Hardwood Decks, have been approved by the Master Painters Institute (MPI). UV Plus is a penetrating wood finish designed to beautify and protect exterior wood decks constructed of cedar, redwood, and pine, while UV Plus for Hardwood Decks is specially formulated for Ipe, Mahogany, Pau Lope, Ironwood, and all other exotic hardwood decking.  The products are approved under MPI's Category #33 - Stain for Exterior Wood Decks.

“We’re pleased that the Master Painters Institute has chosen to add UV Plus to their list of approved products,” said Steve Jenson, Sales Manager. “MPI is a well-known and respected association in the paint and coatings industry. Their endorsement of UV Plus and UV Plus for Hardwood Decks shows customers that this product is of the highest quality and will perform consistently and to the best standards.”

The Master Painters Institute is an organization dedicated to establishing performance and quality standards in the architectural painting and coating application industries. To be considered for the MPI approved products list, manufacturers must undergo a rigorous application and testing process and their products must meet or exceed the institute’s standards for quality and performance.

“Many architects, property managers and builders specifically request that MPI-approved products be used on their projects,” said Jenson. While those familiar with Messmer's products have known about their high quality standards for years, Jenson states that, “Being included on the MPI list of approved products gives Messmer's greater recognition in the wood stain industry.”  In addition to being MPI approved deck stains, UV Plus and UV Plus for Hardwood Decks are also environmentally responsible choices, meeting the MPI Green Performance Standard GPS-1-08.

Available in a wide range of colors including Natural Cedar, Natural Redwood and Natural Pine / Fir, UV Plus can be used on nearly any exterior wood surface. UV Plus penetrates deep into wood, protecting it from moisture, weather and damaging UV rays.  UV Plus for Hardwood decks protects exotic hardwoods with two available colors, Natural and Red Mahogany.  All UV Plus products contain effective fungicides and UV absorbers for maximum wood protection.
