TiO2 Titanium White Exterior Trim Boards

Finally, a real wood trim board on the cutting edge of technology.

Facts
Where does the substrate come from?
• Sourced from 100% clear Chilean Radiata Pine mills
• Certified mills that adhere to rigid Boston Cedar standards
• Consistent source of supply stocked in our warehouses

What are the advantages to this Substrate?
• All 100% defect-free Chilean Radiata Pine kiln dried to 10 to 12% moisture content
• Clear finger-jointed and edge-glued Radiata Pine for dimensional stability
• Isocyanine adhesive hardener provides superior finger-joined bonding characteristics
• All 16’ lengths…no trim-backs
• Available in 1" x 3" through 1"x 12", 5/4" x 4" through 5/4" x 12" and 1"x6" edge and centerbead

What is TiO2 coated with?
• Advanced Exterior Polymer is the topcoat that is applied over the alkyd oil primer sealer.
• AXP is a true topcoat that, while recommended, does not require a field coat for one year from
• installation.
• AXP is one of the most durable exterior coatings designed for wood substrate available
• Environmentally friendly zero volatile organic compound coatings

Why is an oil primer and latex top coat system better than two coats of latex or two coats of oil?
• Water never touches the raw wood - no grain raising or grain swelling, better long-term adhesion
• AXP provides genuine long-term protection for the substrate - oil primers do not
• Topcoat within one year of installation with a high-quality 100% acrylic top coat

What are the packaging specifications?
• 750 board foot units…. smaller than competitors 1,000 bd.ft. units
• All boards are individually end-tagged
• Ti02 is carefully packaged and protected in a custom fitted lumber bag.

Why is TiO2 better than other trim products?
• Water never touches the wood - oil primer to seal - AXP topcoat to protect
• Longer lasting - true exterior topcoat versus multiple coats of primer

Recommended Installation
• Keep TiO2 completely dry prior to installation
• Any installation practice (nailing, cutting, etc.) which results in breaking of the factory coating requires
• that the exposed areas be immediately resealed with a high quality alkyd oil primer.
• Product must be fastened using an appropriate corrosive resistant fastener such as stainless steel
• siding nails that are driven flush to the substrate surface. Avoid sinking the fastener head beyond the
• substrate flush surface.
• When using pneumatic fasteners, please set pressure to make certain fastener is flush to the
• surface.
• Immediately coat fastener heads with a high quality alkyd oil primer.
• All avenues for water intrusion should be immediately caulked with a high performance acrylic exterior
• caulk. Only install over clean, dry framing or sheathing.
• Apply one coat of 100% Acrylic topcoat within one year of installation
• (dark colors may require more than one coat)
