In head to head testing by an independent laboratory, ProKote was proven to yellow less than the other brands listed above. In 1,500 hours of weatherometer (WOM) Xenon Arc testing by an independent laboratory, tests on ProKöte™ note an 87% clarity retention compared to the leading manufacturer (Flex Coat) , while UV Yellowing was the lowest of ALL brands tested (including Thread Master). Laboratory Tests note that ProKöte™ Rod Building Finish is 207% better at non-yellowing and 187% better at a 60 degree gloss reflectiveness than the leading brand of rod building finish. Controlled laboratory testing proved dramatic superiority over the other brands. ProKöte™ Rod Finish proved to be the #1 brand of thread finish epoxy for rod builders to utilize when a non-yellowing, superior clarity, bubble release finish is desired.
