The PROTIM Frameguard® treatment system can be applied in existing low pressure treatment plants with minimal engineering modification.
Treatment solution is supplied by bulk tanker in ready to use form. Application is by cycles and processes broadly similar to those already in use. Solution uptakes per m3 timber will be of a similar order of magnitude as before, with no significant lasting impact on timber moisture content.
Treatment solution can be supplied with a colour tint included. Such temporary dyes are intended to give short term colour only, so as to assist in identifying material as treated in stock and on a construction site.
The timber is transferred into the treatment vessel.
A vacuum pulls the air out of the vessel.
Celcure preservative fills the vessel.
The vessel is pressurised forcing the preservative into the timber.
The preservative is removed and final vacuum is applied removing excess.
The timber has now been preserved with the preservative.
This Koppers animation explains the pressure treating process typically used to treat wood with preservatives for residential, agricultural and commercial uses.
