It is a water-based, USDA Certified Biobased wood finish made with whey protein. Designed for furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, and wooden toys.

PolyWhey uses renewable ingredients, has ultra-low VOCs (176g/L wet), and contains no California Prop 65 chemicals. It's safe for indoor air and family use.

It’s ideal for interior wood surfaces like cupboards, trim, furniture, tables, doors, and children's toys.

The finish dries clear to enhance natural wood grain without yellowing and is typically offered in a satin sheen.

Stir well and apply with a brush, paint pad, or spray gun (conventional or low-pressure). Do not thin the product.

Three coats are ideal for optimal protection and durability. Sanding is only required if 24 hours pass between coats.

Each coat dries in 1–2 hours. The finish cures completely in about one week under normal indoor conditions.

Apply between 65–80°F with relative humidity of 40–60%. Avoid application in direct sunlight or extreme humidity.

Coverage is approximately 500–600 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on the wood type and surface prep.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free. Sand smooth and wipe with a damp cloth or Vermont Natural Coatings Wood Cleaner.

Yes. It’s made with safe, non-toxic ingredients and contains no harmful solvents or additives.

It’s best used on bare wood. For previously finished surfaces, ensure proper prep by sanding and cleaning for better adhesion.

It dries crystal clear and highlights the natural grain without creating a yellow tone.

Clean brushes and tools with soap and warm water—no harsh solvents needed.
