      • Protim® Micro is ideal for use in outdoor structural applications where long-term peace of mind counts.
      • Protim® Micro provides the long term protection traditionally associated with waterborne preservatives in a solvent system that provides the benefits of LOSP treatment with no need for kiln drying after treatment and leaves the timber with minimal dimensional change and moisture increases.
      • Protim® Micro is backed by a 50 year warranty and is approved for H3.1 and H3.2 in NZS3640.
