               DESCRIPTION 
               BECKOSOL AQ 101 is a long oil alkyd latex based on bio-renewable oils designed for use in architectural stains 
               and enamels. This product shows good penetration into wood substrates in stain formulations; enamels show 
               very high gloss. Beckosol AQ 101 requires no coalescing solvent for film formation, coatings meet all current or 
               pending AIM VOC regulations in the US and Canada.  Beckosol AQ 101 does not contain alkyl phenol 
               ethoxylates.
