As of May 1st, 2020, Colorado has changed its VOC limits for Architectural Coatings to a max limit of 275 for wood stains and 350 for wood preservatives. This means that the TWP 100 Series is not allowed in Colorado anymore. The good news is you can still use the TWP 1500 Series for all your exterior wood and maintenance coatings. The TWP 1500 Series is registered as a wood preservative with a 350 VOC limit. If doing a maintenance coating over the TWP 100 Series with the TWP 1500 Series. We suggest one of these prep items
Gemini Restore-A-Deck Cleaner and Brightener Kit
or
