TREATMENT TREATED TIMBER

Can a customer tell if a timber

piece is treated at the stated

treatment level by the looks of

the timber?? NO!!!!!

Timber treatment requires:

Correct moisture content of

the timber prior to treatment.

Tropik dries timber products

through high and low temp

fully automated steam Kilns.

Correct chemical mix

(solution) / concentration.

Correct chemical penetration

or retention.

Tropik guarantees its treated

timber and also gets its product

samples independently tested by

Department of Forestry.

FRAMING TIMBER

Build houses certified to withstand

cyclones------Choose Tropik’s

strength graded framing timber!!!!

Tropik framing timber is graded for strength

and stiffness allowing its use in load bearing

situations – Cyclone rated building structures.

What is the key determining factor for different

strength grade?

The age of pine logs

The specie of pine

The fiber strength which is dependent on age and

specie

How is the strength grading done?

Through automated strength grading machine

(A Grader) which is independently calibrated to

Australian Strength Grading standards.

“A Grader” automatically sprays a color paint

on the timber piece to indicate the strength

grade.

A “Bending Tester” machine is used to carry

out strength test at periodic samples to ensure

that the “A Grader” is giving the correct

strength grade—QUALITY ASSURANCE!!!

Treated framing timber is available both in unsea-

soned (wet) and seasoned (dry) forms.

Treated wet timber is not normally stress graded

and is cut of log grade not conforming to F5+ struc-

tural grade. Suitable for light use and in non-load

bearing structures. It is heavier but is easier to nail

than dry treated timber.
