Tikkurila Teho Modern is a water-based, acrylic-reinforced alkyd paint for exterior use. The paint offers excellent weather resistance—it forms a durable protective layer on wooden structures that helps maintain the strength of the wood and protects it from moisture, heat, and cold. This traditional exterior paint ensures excellent adhesion to various wood surfaces, including untreated, factory-primed, and previously oil-painted surfaces. In addition, Teho Modern offers effective protection against mold growth. The product has been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, confirming that it is an environmentally friendly choice.
