There is no denying that oil-based stains have had their place in the stain industry. Oil-based stains have been used to protect wood siding, cedar siding, wood shakes, decking, fencing, and many other exterior wood surfaces for decades. Oil-based stains have been around longer than any other type of stain formula. However, there are a few lingering myths that accompany oil based stain. Or another way to look at it is that there are a few old truths about oil-based stains that are no longer true. Let’s explain.
The oil-based stain myth that oil is better than water-based stains may have been true several years ago. In the past few years, however, water-based stain technology has really come a long way in performance. Defy Extreme is a perfect example. This industry-leading water-based stain uses nano-technology and high-grade resins to reflect and absorb damaging UV rays. These particles act as a sunscreen and redirect harmful ultraviolet rays that would otherwise fade and grey out an exterior wood surface. This technology is unmatched by other leading water based stains. It is a first in the industry, a true breakthrough in technology and has a good case against the oil based stain myth that oil is better.

2020 Update on Why Defy Water Based Stains Are Better
We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions on the application. We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.
In recent years water based stains have advanced far beyond their predecessors. It used to be that oil based stains were the go to stain formula for all types of exterior wood projects. Oil based stains have had their place in the market, in fact they have been around longer than any other type of stain. However, the latest water based stain technology has something to say about that. Many support the claim that water based stains are better and here’s why.
Although oil stains do a fairly decent job of providing weather protection they are far from being environmentally friendly. There is no way to make them as eco-safe as water based stains are. There are some states that have banned the sale and use of oil based stains completely because they are not VOC compliant. This is just one reason why water based stains are better but it does not stop there.
Update on Why Defy Stain Penetrates Better than other water-based decking stains:
Due to advancements in resin technology, the Defy Exterior Wood and Deck stains have become the best penetrating water-based deck stains on the market. We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions on the application.

Finding a good penetrating stain is the key to a lasting finish. Penetrating stains dive into the wood to protect it from the elements as opposed to film forming stains that stay on top of the surface and are susceptible to peeling and flaking.
Defy wood stains are some of the best stains on the market because they penetrate so well. From their original synthetic blend to the newest in stain technology, Defy Extreme, these stains give the results homeowners are looking for.
Defy Exterior Wood and Decking stains do not use traditional “paint” resins like the other deck stain manufacturers. The resin they incorporate into their stains are specially formulated for deep penetration into wood. The resins themselves are a much smaller molecule size than traditional paint resins. This allows the Defy to soak deeper into the wood. The better the stain gets into the wood, the better the stain will perform when it comes to wear and tear. This gives Defy Stains the characteristics of a traditional oil-based stain but in an environmentally “green” friendly product.
