Murdoch’s
Sutherland Welles Murdoch’s line was developed at the request of a furniture company looking for an outstanding, user-friendly, “bombproof” finish. Murdoch’s is our hybrid Polymerized Tung Oil and resin system that combines the benefits and beauty of tung oil with the extra protection of a resin. Murdoch’s contains a remarkably durable urethane-alkyd resin with minimal yellowing or ambering tendencies and an amazing clarity that’s more like Tung Oil than urethanes and does not have the plastic appearance of many polyurethanes.
The product is formulated with our Botanical Polymerized Tung Oil that makes application easy and offers flexibility to the finish, so it adheres to the wood regardless of seasonal expansion. Murdoch’s contains our citrus solvent, Di-Citrusol and our VOC exempt mineral spirits. The completed formulation meets the 350 g/l guidelines set forth by the Green Building Council for low- emitting coatings in an oil-based Varnish criteria.
