MicroPro® pressure treated timber has corrosion rates on metal
products similar to CCA (chromated copper arsenate) pressure
treated timber and untreated timber.
Use fasteners and hardware that are in compliance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and the building codes for their intended use.
When using aluminium products in conjunction with MicroPro treated timber,
refer to the MicroPro Fastener and Hardware Information Sheet.
- Do not burn preserved timber.
- Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding timber.
- Wear gloves when working with timber.
- Some preservative may migrate from the treated timber into soil/
water or may dislodge from the treated timber surface upon
contact with skin. Wash exposed skin areas thoroughly.
- All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and
disposed of after construction.
- Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing
before re-use.
- Preserved timber should not be used where it may come into direct
or indirect contact with drinking water, except for uses involving
incidental contact such as fresh water docks and bridges.
- Do not use preserved timber under circumstances where the
preservative may become a component of food, animal feed, or
beehives.
- Do not use preserved timber as mulch.
- Only preserved timber that is visibly clean and free of surface
residue should be used.
- If the timber is to be used in an interior application and becomes
wet during construction, it should be allowed to dry before being
covered or enclosed.
- Disposal Recommendations: Preserved timber may be disposed of
in landfills or burned in commercial or industrial incinerators or
boilers in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
- If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellent, or other
finish to your preservative treated timber, we recommend
following the manufacturer’s instructions and label of the
finishing product.
Before you start, we recommend you apply the
finishing product to a small exposed test area before finishing
the entire project to insure it provides the intended result before
proceeding.
-
Mould growth can and does occur on the surface of many
products, including untreated and treated timber, during
prolonged surface exposure to excessive moisture conditions.
To remove mould from the treated timber surface, timber should
be allowed to dry. Typically, mild soap and water can be used to
remove remaining surface mould.
- Projects should be designed, approved and installed in accordance with federal,
state and local regulations governing construction in your area.
- Please refer to the label and the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for additional safety information.
