PolyWhey® – A ‘Safer Whey’

Born of academic inquiry, scientific innovation, and Vermont ingenuity, our coatings meet the building industry’s highest performance and safety standards. In fact, our products set new and higher standards of safety, performance and environmental responsibility. In an industry where toxins are the norm, Vermont Natural Coatings has found a ‘Safer Whey’.

PolyWhey® started as a collaboration between Vermont Natural Coatings and farmers, furniture makers and University of Vermont scientists to expand the value of Vermont’s agriculture and forestry industries.

PolyWhey® has emerged as a new coatings science, creating a category of wood finish with the durability of oil-based finishes and the advantages of waterborne finishes with none of the disadvantages of either. The durability of a wood finish is determined by the strength of its cross linkers. Polymerized whey proteins provide much stronger cross linking than other wood finishes. PolyWhey® uses these proteins instead of toxic ingredients found in traditional wood finish. The result is a lasting, beautiful finish that is safe for people, pets and the environment.

PolyWhey’s patented formula harnesses the power of whey protein, a byproduct of cheese making, and uses these proteins to replace the toxic ingredients traditionally found in wood finish. The result is a naturally durable, safe and easy-to-use finish that has established the industries highest performance and environmental standards.
