The uv protection of tomorrow for any outdoor wood project

Tomorrow's uv protection for any outdoor wood project

Inspiration from nature

DuroGrit is a durable, wood fiber-enriched, water-soluble oil that colors and protects all exterior wood in a single coat. The FibreGrit Technology, where added wood fibers give the oil its unique texture, provides the perfect combination between a saturating and breathable monocoat system. Thanks to this technology, the product not only has incredible and long-lasting UV protection compared to other exterior wood finishing products, but is also extremely durable and resistant.

"For the DuroGrit color range, we are aiming for a natural wood look," says Sjoerd Bos, Sales Manager at Rubio Monocoat Netherlands. "We developed sustainable natural colors that look perfect on different types of wood. And of course a few eye-catching colors couldn't be missing."

What is unique about the DuroGrit colors is the combination of the natural look and extreme uv-resistance. "Usually, such wood oils give a covering and plastic-like look, which flakes off over time with many types of wood. Moreover, the strong uv-resistance normally requires two coats, whereas with DuroGrit only one coat is sufficient. The intense colors really bring the treated wood to life, thanks to three important factors. First, for the natural colors we use pigments specially selected to achieve the best possible look. Secondly, the structure of oil in water gives a real depth to the colors and finally, the unique FibreGrit Technology ensures that the colors are both transparent and have high-quality uv-resistance."

Inspired by nature

Because DuroGrit is such an ecological product, the names of the colors were inspired by nature, Bos says. "Our natural colors reminded us of the prairies and Great Plains and our vibrant colors of salt lakes like the Salinas Grandes, the Great Salt Lake and Tuz Gölü."

Patented FibreGrit Technology

Rubio Monocoat has always been an innovative player, Bos emphasizes. "With our patented FibreGrit Technology, we prove once again our relevance in the wood preservation sector. DuroGrit consists in part of long cellulose fibers from wood itself. These fibers are water-repellent, very strong and hard. They make the protective layer harder, which enhances its abrasion resistance and makes the product excellent for facades, wall coverings, terraces and garden furniture, among others. In addition, the fibers form a grid to hold the uv stabilizers. This allows us to add more uv stabilizers, providing even better uv resistance. The greater amount of uv blockers and associated protection are revolutionary. As a nice bonus, the texture of the product ensures that it does not drip when applied. This unique technology allows us to offer a product with a natural look on wood that is extremely durable. It offers very good UV light protection while being very ecological (0% VOC). DuroGrit by Rubio Monocoat is thus the sustainable uv protection of tomorrow for any outdoor wood project."

Addition to the outdoor range

With DuroGrit, Rubio Monocoat expands its range for outdoor applications. A frontrunner in this range is, for example, Rubio Monocoat WoodCream. This innovative wax-based and hydrophobic cream was specially developed for the long-term protection of vertical wood, such as facade cladding, canopies, porches, luxury gazebos, carports and yard fences. "Uniquely, the natural look and feel of exterior wood is maintained at all times with WoodCream," says Bos. 

"The unique and active self-cleaning formula intensively nourishes the wood, preserves the breathable structure and makes the surface water repellent. As a result, the product will not flake. The resulting pearl effect also gives the wood a special dimension."
