Böhme Suncare 900 Exterior Softwood UV Protection

Böhme Suncare 900™ is a professional-grade penetrating UV protection treatment engineered specifically for exterior softwoods including cedar, pine, fir, and spruce.

Designed to protect lignin from UV degradation before visible weathering occurs, Suncare 900 helps preserve wood appearance, improve coating performance, and extend the life of exterior stain systems in demanding outdoor environments.

WHY DOES EXTERIOR WOOD TURN GREY?

Sunlight breaks down lignin, the natural material that binds wood fibers together. As lignin deteriorates from UV exposure, exterior wood begins to gray, weather, and lose surface integrity.

Softwoods like cedar, pine, fir, and spruce are especially vulnerable to UV degradation. Suncare 900™ penetrates deeply to help stabilize the wood and protect against this early-stage weathering process before visible damage occurs.

WHY USE SUNCARE 900™ BEFORE EXTERIOR STAIN?

Exterior softwoods absorb UV damage quickly, especially on sun-exposed elevations. Suncare 900™ is designed as a penetrating pre-treatment that helps stabilize the wood structure before applying exterior stain systems like Böhme Ligno or BoMol.

This helps create more uniform color, improve stain performance, reduce uneven weathering, and extend coating longevity over time.

FAQs

What does Suncare 900™ do?

Suncare 900™ is a penetrating UV protection treatment designed to help protect exterior softwoods from lignin degradation, premature graying, and uneven weathering caused by sunlight exposure.

What wood species is Suncare 900™ designed for?

Suncare 900™ is specifically engineered for exterior softwoods including cedar, pine, fir, spruce, and similar species.

Does Suncare prevent wood from turning gray?

Suncare 900™ helps reduce UV-driven lignin degradation that leads to graying and weathering, especially when used as part of a complete exterior stain system.

Is Suncare a stain?

No. Suncare 900™ is a penetrating UV protection pre-treatment designed to be used beneath compatible exterior stain systems.

Does Suncare help exterior stains last longer?

Yes. Suncare 900™ is designed to improve stain system performance and extend coating life by protecting the wood beneath the finish.

Can Suncare be used on cedar siding?

Yes. Suncare 900™ is especially well suited for cedar siding and other UV-sensitive exterior softwoods.

Is Suncare low VOC?

Yes. Suncare 900™ is formulated with ultra-low VOC technology.

Does Suncare create a surface film?
