A full range will be made available.
Health and Safety
Wespine Blue has been approved by the government regulator, state timber marketing acts and
Austarlian standards for its use as a termite and borer resistant material.
This approval includes safety when used as intended. Precautions include using simple protective
measures that should be used when handling and using timber based materials.
High Affordability
Wespine Blue sets a new benchmark in affordable termite and European House Borer protection. This reduces a major barrier to holding treated framing stock.
Waste Disposal
Wespine Blue treated timber waste and off cuts can be disposed of or handled with
normal untreated wood wastes in most cases (incineration, chipping, landfill, mulching).
Wespine Blue treated timber wastes are not recommended for cooking fuel or as
furnish for animal bedding or litter.
Durability in Construction
Service conditions for Wespine Blue treated softwood framing are internal,
above ground, dry, and potentially subject to attack by termites or borers south
of the Tropic of Capricorn in Australia. In addition to these standard service conditions,
building timber may be subject to temporary weathering for a maximum period of up
to 3 months while material is in storage and the frame is in construction.
These service conditions correspond to a Hazard Class 2 - F environment as defined in AS1604.1.
Normal exposure during transport and storage will not reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
Guarantee
The 25 year conditional guarantee on protection of treated framing timber against
termites ensures that the Distributor, Pre-fabricator or Merchant is covered for
the long term. This provides assurance for the homeowner and liability coverage
for the pre-fabricator and merchant. Supported by Osmose 25 year conditional
guarantee program. See traceability.
