Union Lumber Co. Develops Woter-Repellent rnill Treotment of 'Noyo' Redwood Siding

Meeting a long-standing trade demand, Union Lumber Company, redwood producers of Fort Bragg, California, announce the successful development of a proven waterrepellent mill treatment of their "Noyo" brand redwood siding. Sherman A. Bishop, vice-president in charge of sales, points out that the new water repellent has been achieved thru exhaustive tests by Union Lumber Company's own technical research department as well as nationally recognized laboratories.

Added dimensional stability, increased resistance to mildew and better finish durabilitv are but a few of the benefits claimed for the new product. Being colorless, it permits the treated siding to be used in natural or painted finishes. One of the greatest advantages it offers to builders, however, in, the opinion of Mr. Bishop, is the elimination of costly back priming on the job as well as protecting the siding from infiltrations of moisture during. construction, thereby delaying and often jeopardizing the painting.

Thorough tests by the California Redwood Association show that the new water-repellent treatment is in itself an acceptable natural finish for redwood siding. When the time comes for refinishing, a simple brush application restores the natural beauty of the redwood.

While not designed to eliminate face paint priming, the new treatment is said to decrease the amount-of paint req-uired and _makes it easier to apply. Tests by tfre U. S. Forest Products Laboratory show ihat treatei sidins required 20/o |e_ss primer than untreated siding. Of grEater importance, Mr. Bishop stated, are the test rdsults iidicating the protection it affords against the paint blistering or peeling caused by moisture entering thi sidewalls of"the siding.

11r". l.*. Noyo_ w_a_ter-rep_ellent, mill-treated siding is now available through LTnion Lumber Company's sale-s repre- sentatives.
