  • Domestic and Export Suitability: Our formulations are designed to be safely used on timber, with options available to meet the specific requirements of both domestic and export markets.
  • Long-lasting Protection: The period of protection depends on the application method (spray, dip, or vacuum/pressure) and the amount of chemical applied to the wood.

Prevention is Key
