Products

PROTIM^® Optimum is used for the preservation of most timber products found in an external, above ground application.

PROTIM^® Optimum is an effective preservative formulation designed to provide lasting protection for wood products used in external situations above ground - Hazard Level 3 (H3 - Australia, H3.1 - New Zealand).

The formulation contains well proven fungicides for protection against fungal decay and an insecticide to provide lasting protection from termites and other wood boring insects. The complete formulation is applied by a controlled vacuum pressure process. Other formulations are available for H2 hazard levels.

PROTIM^® Optimum uses a solvent carrier to transport the active ingredients into the wood. This solvent causes little or no swelling during treatment. This means that the timber maintains its original size, shape and strength grading.

PROTIM^® Optimum is one of a family of preservative systems, commonly referred to as “L.O.S.P” or light organic solvent preservatives.

PROTIM^® Optimum treated timber requires no kiln drying after treatment as the solvent flashes off from the timber over time.

PROTIM^® Optimum is suitable from H1 to H3. For details on what the hazard classifications are please go to the Treatment Guide page.
