MicroShades® is a unique coloured pigment system designed to enhance the natural beauty of treated timber.
Koppers MicroShades® is the only micronized “in-solution” system, specifically developed for timber treated with the MicroPro® preservative. This system provides a significantly improved colour life in treated wood products, compared to traditional dye based systems.
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 traditional dye based systems.
MicroPro® treated wood products are also available in popular colours, similar to redwood and cedar with the MicroShades® colour pigment system. View MicroShades® Product Brochure for more details.
