A new technology, water-based finish with superior adhesion and performance for horizontal and vertical surfaces... Log Home Exterior Stain LifeLine Ultra-7 is the first part of a stain system consisting of one color coat followed by one or two coats of Lifeline Advance Clear Exterior Topcoat. Lifeline Ultra-7 is the most durable exterior stain that Perma Chink Systems has ever developed. After multiple exposure tests in harsh weather areas across the country(think snow country, the sunny southeast and extreme mountain locations), Lifeline Ultra-7 stands out as THE top-of-the-line, long-lasting finish. The secret behind its durability is Lifeline Ultra-7's sate-of-the-art resin that creates a flexible and tough seal on your home's logs. Perhaps more importantly than the seal's strength, the resin also ensures that the seal is continuous, providing protection from holes and gaps that might otherwise develop with a lower-quality finish. In addition it has unsurpassed adhesion to wood. It's this continuity that has proven to be much more resistant to UV degradation, color fading and adhesion loss. And just like all Lifeline finihses, the water-resistant film breathes just like Gore-Tex Thin, back brushed application will result in greater performance, better looks, and customer satisfaction.
