Safecoat DuroStain enhances fine wood with seven beautiful tones made with special earth-based pigments for superior vibrancy and clarity of color. Unlike most commercial stains, DuroStain contains no coal tar, aniline dyestuffs, gilsonite, waxes or aromatic solvents.
Note that stained surfaces should typically be sealed with a hard clear finish such as Safecoat Acrylacq or Safecoat Polyureseal BP, low toxicity replacements for high solvent content lacquer and polyurethane.

"beautiful, easy to use" by

I recently specified Durostain on a residential project with great results. We used it on cabinetry made from black acacia wood, which has a gorgeous grain, but the natural color can have a bit of a pink cast. My client and I were seeking to achieve more a more sophisticated dark coffee tone, while preserving the strong impact of the natural grain. We achieved exactly what we were looking for with a couple coats of the "walnut" stain, and the contractor had no problems using the product.

AFM’s mission is to eliminate toxics to the greatest extent possible from paints, specialty coatings, cleaning products, stone and tile sealers, stains, and other building materials. We are dedicated to developing products that focus as much on human health as on performance. We have eliminated the use of hazardous or toxic materials, reduced offgassing to de minimis levels, and created formulations that prevent indoor air quality problems. Our products have a long history of safe use even by the chemically sensitive, and are LEED qualified where applicable.
Thus whether you are an architect specifying materials for a fifty story building or a parent decorating a baby’s room, AFM’s promise is the same: we strive to set the standard for the safest, most non-polluting products for your home, your health and the planet.
Today, we remain the only company to provide a complete range of chemically responsible building and maintenance products. This is all we do. Unlike other paint companies, we will never market a single “environmental” product while selling 1000 other toxic ones.
Health. Quality. Sustainability. Whether you are building or remodeling, ask for our paints, stains, wood finishes, sealers, cleaners and other building products.
