PROTIM ® LOSP TIMBER PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT

PROTIM® LOSP (light organic solvent preservative) is a highly effective preservative formulation designed to provide lasting protection for wood products used in external and internal above ground applications. PROTIM® LOSP is a tried and trusted method of preserving timber against wood boring insects, termites and fungal decay.

PROTIM® LOSP contains a combination of water repellent waxes and resins, designed to reduce the uptake of water by the timber during construction. It improves stability by reducing the dimensional changes that would otherwise occur as water is absorbed and lost.

PROTIM® LOSP is an organic solvent product. It does not alter the moisture content of the treated wood and causes little or no swelling during treatment. It is used effectively to treat finished products (prior to varnishing or painting) offering an envelope treatment. Unlike water-borne treatment, the LOSP treated timber maintains its original size, shape, strength and requires no re-drying or re-machining which would otherwise pollute our environment.

PROTIM® LOSP is a clear liquid. It does not change the color or appearance of timber.

PROTIM® LOSP provides sustainable use of timber, increasing the life service of quality timber. It can save substantial amount of money and inconvenience of having to replace untreated timber used in the domestic and commercial applications.

Our PROTIM® Treatment Plant offers timber preservative treatment meeting both Malaysian and Australian H3 Standards against borers, termites and fungal attacks.

PROTIM® LOSP is ideal for house framing e.g. fascias, external claddings, window and door frames, timber shutters, handrails and balustrades, decking, timber flooring, battens, plywood, wall and ceiling panellings and mouldings.
