When looking for timber treatment solutions that stand the test of time, Dindas Australia is your trusted partner. Our extensive range of timber products, from engineered wood and structural framing to cladding and appearance-grade timber, comes with the assurance of longevity and durability thanks to our advanced LOSP timber treatment processes.
Superior Protection with LOSP Treatment
Complying with Australian Treatment Standard AS1604, we utilise the most advanced, proven Light Organic Solvent Preservative (LOSP), a completely water-free treatment. This state-of-the-art treatment delivers superior protection against termite and fungal attacks, ensuring your timber projects stay robust and secure for years. Our commitment to using Koppers PROTIM for LOSP timber treatments guarantees* 25 years of defence against subterranean termites and wood-boring beetles.
The LOSP timber treatment option also gives us the advantages of enabling fast turnaround on customer orders, eliminating the need for large, costly storage areas and drying facilities, and ultimately providing our valued consumers with a reliable, cost-effective product.
Timber Care: Keep Your Timber at Its Best
Ensuring your timber stays in top condition requires proper care. All external timber products must be treated in their final shape and form. If any surface is exposed by drilling or cutting, it should be retreated with a suitable end preservative like Protim Solignum XJ clear timber protective preservative. This extra step ensures that the protective treatment remains effective, extending the life of your timber. Rip sawing, thicknessing, and planing are not permissible unless the timber is subsequently re-preserved to meet the original specifications.
For the best performance, LOSP treated timber should be kept dry during and after installation. Always make sure to use pesticides safely and thoroughly read the label to avoid any mishaps.
