What is L.O.S.P. Treated Pine? |
L.O.S.P. treated pine is a treatment applied to the
timber. L.O.S.P is Light Organic Solvent Preservative
and is recognized as a user and environmentally friendly
alternative to C.C.A. treatment. The Sydney Olympic Site
in 2000 specified exclusively the use of L.O.S.P. treated
pine and banned C.C.A treated timbers. It maximises the
life of the timber and gives protection against wet rot,
dry rot and termite attack.

What is finger jointed and laminated L.O.S.P. Treated
Pine? |
Finger jointed and laminated treated pine is a manufacturing
process which uses smaller straight pieces of timber and
joins them with a finger like connection glued with waterproof
glue. Finger Jointed Laminated treated pine offers a solution
to the increasing shortage of solid timber panels. The
timber is kiln dried to a moisture content below 10%,
planed and ripped to thinner strips. These strips are
finger jointed after colour matching to the desired lengths
and then edge coated with special resins which can withstand
boiling water tests. The coated strips are edge laminated
applying pressure from the sides and top in a composer
press to form panels. These panels are sanded to produce
finished solid timber product. Machining these pieces
can be done exactly the way solid timber is machined.
The process offers straightness and free from twist pieces
that are guaranteed for strength and quality.
