Oil-modified acrylic stain is a next-generation wood finish that blends the best properties of traditional oil-based and modern water-based technologies. This hybrid stain contains acrylic resins that provide exceptional durability, colour retention, and weather resistance, while the oil component enhances penetration into the wood fibres, ensuring long-lasting protection from within.
The result is a stain that is easy to apply, cleans up with water, and dries faster than classic oil-based products. Unlike pure oil stains, oil-modified acrylic stains emit fewer odours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for both the user and the environment. They’re less prone to peeling and cracking as they age, maintaining an attractive finish over time with less maintenance.
Another major benefit is their versatility: these stains can be used on a wide range of timber surfaces, including decks, fences, and outdoor furniture. They are designed to flex with the natural movement of wood, helping to prevent moisture intrusion and surface damage. If you’re looking for a stain that offers both rich, natural-looking colour and reliable protection for your exterior wood, oil-modified acrylic stain is an excellent choice for New Zealand conditions.
