Vermont Natural Coatings' PolyWhey wood finishes enhance the innate beauty of wood and preserve it with a durable shield that is environmentally safe for those who work with it and for those who live with it.
Twice the Durability: Scratch, chemical, and water resistant – dry quickly, and do not yellow. PolyWhey has a cured hardness twice that of other water-based finishes, meaning it is hard-wearing even on floors that have heavy traffic.
Coverage: 500-600 square feet per gallon (versus 300-400 sf for most conventional water-based finishes)
Easy to apply with a brush, spray gun, t-bar or lambswool applicator.
The binder is non-toxic whey protein.
Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (less than 180g/L)
Mild, neutral odor that dissipates quickly.
Short dry time: ready to recoat in two hours.

Our cans are made with post consumer materials which can be recycled when discarded.
PolyWhey is the result of recent scientific innovations using whey proteins--a natural by-product of the dairy industry. This hard-wearing "polymer" wood coating meets the highest professional and environmental standards. Whey, a by-product of cheese making, has a high BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) that can increase the burden on waste treatment facilities and can pollute rivers, lakes, and even the ocean. But over the last decade, this by-product has been used to create valuable products such as high-protein "energy bars", infant formula, and as a film coating for food-safe packaging. By reformulating whey into a durable, natural wood finish, a potential waste product is taken out of the waste stream and put to a useful purpose.
