San Francisco's Pier 39 , Hawaii's Pearl Harbor . The Venfura, CA Pier

What do these marine facilities have in common?

Cheiuion

In coastal areas where marine-boring organisms like Teredo, Pholad, and Limnoda tfipunctata afe pfesent, thefe's an lmportant need to protect below-water pilings. CHEMONITE provides the best posslble protectlon for above-water anld below-water structures everywhere, from freezing seas to tropical waters. That's why the wood you specify should be Chemonite-treated.

Oregon State Docks float CHEMOI\I-ITE'

Some of the most beautiful dock facilities in the state of Oregon are planned and developed by the Oregon State Marine Board This unique state agency is dedicated to making Oregon boating as enjoyable as possible for tourists and residents alike. One of the reasons the facilities are as attractive as they are is that the Board is an enthusiastic user of kiln-dried, CHEMONITE (ACZAltreated Douglas fr.

According to Ron Rhodehamel, Chief Facilities Engineer, the Marine Board at first dabbled with CcA-treated Douglas fir in its standard float module design, but the treatment didn't consistently meet the specified 0.6 retention. So, since 1988, the Board has used Aw?Acertified, CHEMONITE-treated Douglas fir in hundreds offloat designs.

Rhodehamel says these floats have performed beautifully in Oregon's grueling river conditions. He adds that kiln drying has made a big difference in the appearance of their CHEMONITEtreated wood in the last couple years.

The first Chemonite-treated floats, built in 1988, still show no signs of deterioration. Rhodehamel is confident that the hundreds of Chemonite-treated floats across Oregon will last for decades.

Spectfytng CHEMONITE ensures that your structure wlll be attractlve and protected from rot, decay, insect, and marine-borer damageand stay structurally sound for years to come. For a more information. and the name of the CHEMONITE wood treater nearest vou. catr, 65O-573-3311.
