Fountain Timber Products

First launched in I 992, TANALISED E pressure treated limber is today a truly global product that is approved and used in more than 30 countries worldwide. TANALISED E pressure treated timber is protected against fungal and insect attack and is the perfect product for use in above ground, in ground and water contact situations (Hazard Classes 1-4).

TANALISED E pressure treated timber has been extensively tested by Arch Timber Protection and expert independent authorities. Whilst laboratory tests provide a good indication of the comparative performance of treated timber, field tests under natural conditions provide a more realistic assessment of long-term performance in practice.

TANALISED E pressure treated timber has been installed in more than twenty field test sites around the world, some of which have extremely aggressive conditions.

The graph shows that small samples of TANALISED E pressure treated timber are providing outstanding performance, in an aggressive field test site, after 10 years.

This demonstrates that commercial sized timbers can achieve an extended service life.

Treatment Process
TANALISED E pressure treated timber has been impregnated with TANALITH E wood preservative under controlled conditions by vacuum pressure technology in an enclosed system.

1. Timber loaded into treatment vessel. Initial vacuum applied - timber cells evacuated of air. Vacuum held.
2. Cylinder flooded under vacuum with TANALITH E wood preservative.
3. Hydraulic pressure applied, forcing the preservative deep into the structure of the timber.
4. Final vacuum extracts excess preservative solution, which is pumped back to storage.
5. Low pressure inside timber draws in surface solution when vented to atmosphere. Treated timber is left to dry

Standards
TANALISED E pressure treated timber can be used with confidence for all applications in Hazard Classes 1-4; internal and external, above and below ground end uses.
TANALITH E preservative conforms to the efficacy requirements of BS EN 599-1:1997 and timber is treated in accordance with guidance given in BS EN 351-1:1996 and BS8417 for a desired Hazard Class, as defined in BS EN 335-1:1992.

TANALITH E is included in the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) list of wood preservatives, for which compliance with BS EN 599-1:1997 has been audited by the BWPDA.

TANALISED E pressure treated timber is also approved by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), for use in cargo containers and timber packaging for export to Australia.
