Porta's H3 Treated Pine is impregnated with copper fixed ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) waterborne preservatives which increases the timber’s service life and durability for 30+ years. It is a safe, user friendly, preservative that complies with Australian Standard AS1604. H3 Treated Pine uses Select grade Pine. Porta grades Pine timber according to the Australian standard AS 4785.2. Select grade features very few marks and natural characteristics, making it a stronger, cleaner and more versatile timber.
H3 Treated Pine will initially have a greenish appearance that will eventually weather to a honey brown before fading to a lustrous grey after exposure to wind, rain and sun.
H3 Treated Pine is very easy to work with standard tools. Its low density means it holds nails and screws very well. It can be successfully stained, painted, waxed or colour-washed. Its open grain structure readily accepts preservative treatment. If modifying the original surface of the treated timber, you may expose untreated timber. If so, apply a brush-on or spray-on preservative to all cut-ends or modified surfaces.
H3 Treated Pine (ACQ treated) is ideal for a variety of above-ground outdoor applications such as window & door trims, playground construction, handrails/newel posts, pergolas and picnic tables/seats etc.
