Pinegard Blue

• Hazard Level 2F
• Indoors
• Above Ground

Boral Timber’s Pinegard Blue is treated to H2-F level according to AS1604.1 which is suitable for dry, protected building applications (not subject to weather or dampness) such as wall frames, trusses and subfloor construction where additional security against termite damage is desired. 

The H2-F classification refers specifically to seasoned softwood framing timbers up to 45 mm x 290 mm end section size used south of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Pinegard Blue is not guaranteed for use north of the Tropic of Capricorn due to the presence of Mastotermes Darwiniensis, an aggressive species of tropical termite only found in far north of Australia. Boral Timber’s Pinegard Red product is produced specifically to be used in all areas of Australia including in the northern tropics.

Treated

Treated timber is sprayed with a synthetic pyrethroid to protect the structure from being damaged by wood destroying insects such as termites in outdoor applications. 

The treatment process involves the application of a water borne timber preservative called Determite. Pinegard Blue is protected against termite attack by a modern safe wood preservative applied using a state-of-the-art timber treatment facility. This treatment has been thoroughly tested in Australian conditions and is approved under Australian Standards.
