• Applying the first three ingredients of the Platinum Protection Package directly to the wood fiber, via spray coat and separate from the primer, greatly enhances their efficacy...
• Unlike competitors who mix similar ingredients directly into their primer, thereby only protecting the primed surface, Belco adds these ingredients directly to the fiber, allowing the diffusion mechanism (Borate) to fully penetrate into the lumber and carry the other protective ingredients along for the ride...
• Example; if mold spores are present prior to the primer being applied, even if there is borate mixed into the primer, mold will still grow through. However, with the Platinum Protection Package, the borate and other ingredients penetrate the wood fiber, protecting from the inside out...

  Limited Warranty Against Manufacturing Defects, Blistering, Peeling, Cracking & Chalking

Let's face it, today's homebuyer is more educated and environmentally savvy than ever before. With increased attention being given to humanity's impact on the environment, it is no wonder why Newsweek would report that "going green" is becoming the trend.

At Belco Forest Products we recognize and support our customers desires to be conscientious stewards of our environment. We too believe that every day choices can have a dramatic impact on the environment and we strive to employ innovative manufacturing processes to support these efforts. Here are just a few of our practices and choices:

• Armor Coat Proprietary Primer Formulation emits 87% less VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) than our Alkyd based competitors. Among other ill-effects, VOC's are strong contributors to air pollution and global warming.
• Armor Coat Water-Borne Technology is less susceptible to chronic decay and thus will not continue to pollute the atmosphere post-installation like Alkyd primers.
• Synergetic Manufacturing gives us the unique ability to minimize fiber waste through a symbiotic relationship between our mill and our distribution facility.
• Efficient Production cuts back on energy waste and achieves high production capacity with minimal impact on our community or employees well-being.

With Armor Coat you can be confident that you are not only purchasing an elegant trim product that is beautiful and of superior quality, you are buying a product that is safe for the environment as well.

Unlike competing brands who warrant their products with flimsy indirect warranties that do more to protect the manufacturer than to protect the customer, Armor Coats' 20-year limited liability warranty protects our customers from product.
