Cutek Green Wood Preservative selling well in Canada.

May 28th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Otter Creek is the Canadian Distributor for Cutek Green Wood Preservative. Company officials have received very positive feedback from customers with added interest increasing on a daily basis.

Otter Creek performed many tests with the product prior to bringing the product into its stain and seal lineup. With the harsh Canadian winters and the ever increasing extreme temperatures from hot to cold you need a wood preservative product that can stand up to these conditions, said Robert Abbott, President of the company.

Not all stains and sealers perform in the same manner and customers continue to complian to us that the product they are applying to their deck surface is just not standing up. Its either complains about peeling and cracking or extreme fading. In some rare cases complete breakdown of product has been reported. I must admit that I sometime think its an over reaction to the expectations of customers with the product they are using either by being told by the company that sold the stain or sealer product to them or their understanding of the product they purchased.

No matter which product you purchase and what you are told ALL STAINS with fade over time and reapplication is a fact of life with a wood deck surface and a wood deck will never be totally maintenance free. However, you can purchase products that will reduce and save your deck from continuous maintenance every year and also that will preserve your deck for many years.

You may say I’m trying to be partial to a product our company sells and I can understand people feeling that way BUT this product by far is the best stain, seal and preservative product I have come across EVER.

I’m so confident in this product that if any customer calls and complains the product did not meet with their expectations will refund the product purchase no questions asked. If you would like to learn more or purchase this product please call us at toll free 1-800-981-3590 or you can visit our online store at www.myocstore.com

Cutek Green Wood Preservative for wood decking.

May 26th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I tried this product on a pc of Pressure Treated Spruce and within a matter of minutes it had soaked entirely through the entire pc of wood. I have used several other wood preservatives and have never seen anything like this product. This product will seek out the water filled cells within the pc of wood and migrate to the cells and drive the moisture out. It does make sense when you think about it. If you have little or no moisture within a pc of wood the less likely you would get rot, twist and warp of your deck boards. I also like the fact that this product acts not only as a wood preservative but also seals and beautifies your deck. The Cutek Green comes in clear 5L containers and there are 18 different colors that are contained within packets and you simply pick your color and pour and stir into the clear Cutek. This product was formulated by a company in Australia called Chemisys Group where for many years they have developed effective stains and sealers for Australian species of wood that are subject to the extreme temperature conditions in that country. They are now bringing their product to the North American marketplace so decking contractors and homeowners will have available to them this really great product.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor and product can be purchased through them by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com

Canadian government formally announcing the regulations for the Architectural Coatings segment (which includes wood coatings).

April 3rd, 2010

At the end of September, we received notice from the Canadian government formally announcing the regulations for the Architectural Coatings segment (which includes wood coatings).  Of interest to all of us (from paint dealers, factory applicators, to consumers), the VOC limit is set at 250 grams/liter.  This is the final regulation and is in force as of the date of the Gazette (30 September 2009).  The prohibition is based on the anniversary date of the regulation becoming in force.  In other words, all exterior wood stains which are over 250 gm/liter will be prohibited for sale/distribution on the 3rd anniversary day of the regulation.  For all paint resellers out there, this means that all wood coatings over 250 gm/liter VOC’s be illegal in September 2012.

Response……
In short, this regulation will not have an effect as all of our formulations are already below that threshold.
If you are asking me to comment on each highlighted item. . .
this means that all wood coatings over 250 gm/liter VOC’s be illegal in September 2012.
I can’t speak for Canada but the way it works in the US, this sort of statement is usually hyperbole.  It is not “illegal” it is simply regulated.  For example in California they have the same regulations.  I could still sell them a product that was 350 g/l, I would just have to pay an additional tax based on the amount of that material I sold into that district.  I would assume the same will be true in Canada.  In the US it pretty much comes down to two words “Ban” and “regulated” where “Ban” means it is virtually illegal to do unless you are “special” and “regulated” means the public would support the gov taxing you more for this activity.
25 grams/liter or less
Only our Timber Oil formulation can be made that low.  I assume they have a water based formulation.
8 standard colors or tinted from 1 base to achieve the 8 colors
We currently offer 4 standard colors and a clear base.  We can produce custom colors in batch sizes of 150 gallons or more.  Our stock colors can be mixed to produce an array of halftones.  All of our formulations can be tinted with any oil based tint system.  We recommend high quality micro-ground transparent oxide pigments to retain the highest clarity.
a superb replacement for Flood Seasonite
I am not familiar enough with the two products to comment
3 base tints formatted to match Flood bases and fully tintable from your current tint machine
We do not currently offer any products that would compete with opaque finishes.
Tintable to 8 colours from one base
We have formulations that will compete with this water reducible alkyd formulation but they have not been scheduled for release.  I don’t foresee a release date prior to completion of our new manufacturing facility later this year.
