Radiata Trimboard Producers Defend LOSP

In an effort to stem misconceptions preservatives can be used in the LOSP in the marketplace about LOSP (Light process, which has resulted in comOrganic Solvent Preservatives), the mentators confusing the market by leading manufacturers of LOSP-treat- referring to the LOSP process as the ed radiata pine trimboard are issuing cause of health concerns in New advisories to stress the safety of their Zealand rather than focusing on the products.

Fletcher Wood Solutions. ITI and active preservative chemical itself.

"The health concerns raised across

Bodyguard all say that their preserva- the New Zealand timber industry are tives and their practices are far differ- also associated with short cuts made ent than those that have come under by manufacturers in the LOSP delivscrutiny in New Zealand ery method and also with the use of Fletcher's statement, for example, TBTN (tributyltin napthenate) comnotes, "The LOSP process caries the pounds, which are on the EPA's active chemical into the wood, which 'severely restricted' list and are known then evaporates, leaving only the potent skin and eye irritants. FWS' chemical behind. But a wide range of products do not contain TBTN com- pounds. FWS only uses an EPA registered organic azole formulation in our products, which consists of chemicals commonly used in the horticultural and agricu ltural industries.

"To suggest that all products treated using an LOSP process are the same is like saying all water-borne treatments are the same. ACQ, CCA and boron preservatives are all waterborne treatments and are all very different from one another. In the same way. LOSP-borne treatments using the EPA approved organic azoles such as those used by FWS are completely different to the more chemically potent TBTN products implicated in the recent health concerns in New Zealand. Arch Wood Protection, a manufacturer of both chemicals, announced in November 2O01 that they would no longer promote the use of LOSP-borne tin-based products, but would instead promote the use of LOSP-borne azole treatments.
