VACSOL® Azure treated timber is treated with Vacsol® Azure wood preservative, which contains new organic insecticides and fungicides and uses white spirits or Kerosol as the medium to penetrate the timber cells with the preservative mixture to assure long-term preservative protection.
The preservative is applied in a pressure treatment vessel in a controlled environment and is used to treat primarily value-added sawn timber products such as laminated beams, timber cladding and ceiling. The product is suitable for residential and commercial applications.
The significance of this preservative (for the South African market) is that it is metal-free, which provides environmental advantages over its predecessor solvent-based wood preservative products.
Vacsol® Azure is an APVMA-registered chemical (No. 56786) and should be used in accordance with the label instructions.
