We are pleased to announce the release of a new "Hard Type (for outdoor use)" of Sion Oil-Based Natural Paint U-OIL. Maintaining the excellent safety and workability of the standard type (the conventional U-OIL for indoor use), the U-OIL Hard Type (for outdoor use) further enhances weather resistance. Moreover, we have demonstrated through accelerated weathering tests that it has a rare weather resistance for natural paints, making it "difficult to fade for about 4 years." It can be used for (1) outdoor painting, (2) wood that is difficult to stain, (3) areas around water, and (4) painting that covers wood grain. The color variations are more abundant than those of the standard type (the conventional U-OIL for indoor use). We invite you to try Sion's pure domestic natural paint U-OIL, which combines safety and weather resistance as a natural paint, with a sample during this opportunity. ● For more details, please download the catalog. ● If you would like a free sample, you can request it from our website. ● Here is the Sion Oil-Based Natural Paint U-OIL (U-OIL) website: http://u-oil.jp/
