Vacsol® 6118 has BPR (Biocidal Products Regulation) authorisation, passing all necessary environmental, human and animal health risk assessments.

Desired Service Life

Vac-Vac® timbers provide a desired service life of 15 to 60 years, depending on end-use application.

Treatment Markets

Vacsol® 6118 leaves the timbers virtually unchanged in their appearance. To help treatment companies confirm to their end customers that the timbers have been preservative treated, we offer a range of treatment marker colour options.

Helping to reduce carbon footprint

To evaluate the whole life carbon impact of treated timber, consideration must be given to the manufacture, transportation and to end-of-life. In the design of Vacsol® 6118, recyclability and reuse of treated timber at end of-life was key. In addition, it has been designed as a concentrate which means that it is supplied with a lower carbon footprint in terms of transportation to treatment customers.
