LigPro Natural wood with its many colors, hues and patterns is a cherished gift by nature that is used widely in many everyday products. But along with its charm and beauty, it has an inherent weakness. Wood is a hygroscopic (easily absorbs and retains moisture) material and is composed of mostly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Lignin comprises almost 25% of the structure of wood and confers mechanical strength to the cell wall by filling the spaces between cellulose and hemicellulose. Unfortunately, lignin is also the weak link in the system due to its hygroscopic nature which leads to fungal infections, deterioration and eventual rot. This process is further aided by irradiation via exposure to ultraviolet rays. Wood surfaces are generally protected and enhanced through the use of stains, lacquers and paints. Yet, it is only a matter of time before outdoor wood objects start exhibiting the damage described earlier. The first sign of this breakdown is the change in surface color easily noticed even on woods with a protective clear coating. The change is due to oxidation caused by exposure to UV rays. Softer woods such as pine wood will start showing black spots due to the breakdown and deterioration of the lignin. This is because surface coatings regardless of their features cannot prevent moisture and vapor from permeating into the wood cell structure. LigPro is a very specialized wood primer that has been developed with the sole purpose of providing a protective barrier for all types of wood. It protects the wood surface from harmful UV rays and prevents the deterioration of the lignin material that is critical in preserving the integrity of the wood. LIGPRO is a fully water based coating with no fumes, odors or hazardous ingredients. It is formulated to seep into the surface of the wood to provide a defensive barrier against environmental damages. It can be topcoated with Liquiguard's SealTuff clear coat or TeakRenu for an oiled teak look without impeding its barrier properties.
