BATES® DPS
BATES® Dried Parts Stabilizer (DPS) controls post-production shrinkage, swelling and warping for kiln-dried wood parts. By applying this water based end coating, wood is stabilized during storage and shipment.
DPS is a wax-free, semi-permeable coating that uses high performance nanopolymers to penetrate the wood while still protecting on the surface.
