Product Description

The OLYMPIC/PPG ARCHITECTURAL FIN 79550A/01 is a semi-transparent, oil-based exterior stain in a neutral tint base, formulated for use on decks, fences, and siding. The urethane-fortified formula delivers a durable, penetrating finish that resists scuffing, UV degradation, and mildew growth. Water Guard Plus protection helps repel moisture at the surface level, while the Advance Sunblock UV protection slows color fade caused by prolonged sun exposure. This product is sold by the gallon and is 100% VOC compliant in all areas of the United States. It is applied by painting contractors, deck restoration specialists, and experienced trade professionals working on residential and light commercial exterior wood surfaces.

This stain is designed for exterior horizontal and vertical wood surfaces including decks, fences, and lap or board siding. The neutral tint base allows for mixing into the full range of available solid color tints in the Maximum line. The Scuff Guard formula makes it well-suited for high-traffic horizontal surfaces such as deck boards and stair treads where abrasion resistance is a priority. The package quantity is 4 units per case, making it practical for larger job-site orders.
