Depends. Sikkens produced many formulations. They sold to PPG because of the VOC compliance demands of certain State meant that some of the line could not be sold in all 50 States. So it depends on what you are specifically looking for. The SRD that we sell is complaint in NH... but I can't get some of the others that I can in Vermont.

The only stains sold locally, that I know of, that changed dramatically were Cabot ATO (we can only sell the original in NH as quarts due to the VOC; Vermont can get it in gallons and five gallons) and Cabot Oil Deck stains (they now have blue lids with a modified oil).

Penofin decided to leave the market in NH, I can still get it in Vermont. But for me, it isn't worth the trip.
I went to Native Exotic decking when we had it. It had stain pressure treated right into the deck board.
