Fibre Alternatives, manufacturers of hemp based construction materials, is proud to announce the market release of Hemp Shield™ — The first and only penetrating wood finish containing 100% hemp oil that is produced in the United States. Hemp Shield™ is suitable for wooden decks, fences, stairs, siding, shutters, furniture — anything wooden that is exposed to the weather. In extensive tests, Hemp Shield™ outlasted all comers, including the highest priced deck finish on the national market. Extremely UV resistant, the high solid counts of colored Hemp Shield™ provide high hiding, long lasting color to your outdoor wood. Hemp Shield's unique hemp oil formulation represents a major advance in preservation of outdoor wood — a back-to-the-future choice that, by reviving use of an agriculture based oil feed stock, has created a sustainable, environmentally friendly finish that outlasts the most expensive petroleum based finishes, yet contains 0% volatile organic compounds (VOC's) like formaldehyde, and no other hazardous air pollutants. Hemp Shield™ also resists environmental attacks from mildew, algae, and fungus.
Hemp Shield Wood Finish and Deck Sealer™ was designed to provide excellent durability under field conditions, and to meet the requirements of the following American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
