MicroPro® Treated Wood

MicroShades® Colourant

MicroShades® is a unique coloured pigment system designed to enhance the natural beauty of treated timber.

Koppers MicroShades® is a pigmented colour product that is an “in-solution” system and has been specifically developed for timber treated with MicroPro® preservatives.

The MicroShades® colour system uses micronised iron oxide pigments. Iron oxide colour pigments are also used in commercial exterior grade paints and stains. The MicroShades pigment is applied during the pressure treatment process giving the timber deep colour penetration which cannot be matched with a brush-on product.

Unlike dye-based colour systems, the MicroShades® colour pigment system provides superior colour fastness. The MicroShades system exhibits longer lasting colour when compared to natural cedar and kwila wood species.

The MicroShades® system gives an attractive and consistent medium brown colour to timber in external applications.

Active Ingredients: MicroShades colour system uses micronised iron oxide pigments, bound into an acrylic binder.
