Tanalith® E

A unique combination of copper and organic biocides, Tanalith® E was launched in Europe in 1992 as an alternative to traditional CCA high pressure wood preservative treatments. It has decades of performance data to prove long-term protection against wood decay and insect attack, including termites.

Wood treated with Tanalith® E can be used across industrial, commercial and residential applications for both in and out of ground contact, interior and exterior applications.

Why Tanalith E?

Hazard Class status

Wood treated with Tanalith® E can be used in in Hazard Classes H2 (interior), H3 (exterior), H4 (in ground contact),  and H5 (in contact with fresh water).

Desired Service Life

Tanalised® timbers  for exterior use can provide a desired service life of 50 years for H2 use,  25 years for H3 use and 15 years for H4 and H5 use. 

Built-in protection

When impregnated into the timber the preservative components bond with the wood structure and cannot be easily removed. Whilst Tanalith® C has been available across Africa for many years, we introduced Tanalith® E to ensure wood used in environmentally sensitive applications still has long-term protection against wood decay and insects (including termites).
