THE LOSP TREATMENT PROCESS
The natural wood substrate is 100% Radiata Pine sourced from sustainable plantation forests. The wood is kiln dried and then has all knots, pitch pockets and other defects removed. The defect free lumber is then fingerjointed and edge glued with high quality exterior grade adhesives.
The raw wood is then treated using an LOSP treatment process. Unlike some treatment processes, this system does not puncture the wood and leave unsightly incisor marks. LOSP stands for Light Organic Solvent Preservative. The process involves three preservatives that are carried into the wood using an organic solvent and vacuum pressure treating system. The preservatives are not soluble in water so they will not leech out of the wood due to moisture. The three preservatives are divided into two functions:
Permethrin is the component that prevents termite infestation. It is EPA approved and is a component of most household termite sprays. Propiconazole and Tebuconazole are the components that prevent fungal growth (AKA dry rot). These chemicals are EPA approved and are commonly used in agriculture to prevent fungal growth on food crops. The treatment process also carries paraffin wax and hydrocarbon resin into the wood to enhance water repellent characteristics.
EnduraPlus meets requirements for H-3 (Chile and New Zealand) and UC-3A and UC-3B (USA) third party rating systems. The “H” refers to Hazard Level, and the UC refers to Use Category. The UC3-B rating is the AWPA (American Wood Preserving Association) category for above ground, exterior use. H-3 is an identical rating. The associations involved are considered the experts in the field of treated lumber. Their techniques offer the most reliable service and performance.
FACTORY APPLIED PRIMER
Platinum Pro™ has two coats of factory applied primer. The primer is an alkyd based product specially developed for use with LOSP treated wood. The primer has a high resistance to cracking, flaking and chipping, and provides a strong base for final coat adhesion.
The primer is not a sealer and will allow some water absorption. For best results apply a topcoat before primed wood gets heavy rain. While the preservatives will not leech out from rain contact, the wood can swell from water absorption. Once the rain stops the water will evaporate from the wood and it will shrink back to original size. This will not affect overall performance but can cause some cosmetic issues.
