Osmose, Inc. / SUSTAIN(R) 20T


Greenguard description:

The environmentally friendly SUSTAIN(R) 20T wood preservative is a revolutionary, fully micronized, copper plus tebuconazole formulation that provides significant advantages over traditional preservatives such as MCQ (micronized copper quat), and ACQ (alkaline copper quat), and Copper Azole. SUSTAIN(R) preserved wood is protected against attack from fungal decay and termites, including Formosan termites, by the MCA(TM) wood preservative system. SUSTAIN(R) 20T is manufactured with minimal carbon footprint and provides retailers and consumers of SUSTAIN(R) preserved wood, the latest advancements in wood preservative technology.



Product Features
• NatureWood products are durable and designed for outdoor construction
• Copper-based preservative with a co-biocide
• The most effective and widely used alternative to traditional pressure treated wood
• Preservative system meets American Wood Preservers’ Association standards
• NatureWood products are Building Code Compliant and have been issued National Evaluation Report #628 by National Evaluation Services, Inc.

Finishing- Any exposed wood, pressure treated or not, should be protected from the weather. NatureWood products which do not contain a
factory applied water repellent (check the label) should have a clear water repellent applied immediately. A stain with water repellent can be
applied as soon as the wood is surface dry. NatureWood products which have a factory applied water repellent can have an oil based stain applied
in 30 to 60 days and water based stains can be applied after 6 months. In all instances follow the manufacturer's directions when applying water
repellents or stains which may contain water repellent.

NatureWood products are treated with an EPA registered preservative that is forced
into the wood under pressure to protect it from termites and fungal decay.



Deck board spacing- During construction, should the wood
become wet, butt deck boards together. As drying occurs, some shrinkage
can be expected. If the wood is dry, allowing for shrinkage is not necessary.

Other info:

• Warning- Certain metal products (including fasteners, hardware, and flashing) may
corrode when in direct contact with NatureWood products. To prevent premature
corrosion and failure it is important to follow the recommendations of the manufacturers
for all metal products.
• Do not burn preserved wood (see Disposal section).
• Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding wood.
• Wear gloves when working with wood.
• Some preservative may migrate from the treated wood into soil/water or may dislodge
from the treated wood surface upon contact with skin. Wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly.
• All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and disposed of
after construction.
• Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before reuse.
• Preserved wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact
with drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as fresh water
docks and bridges.
• Do not use preserved wood under circumstances where the preservative may become
a component of food, animal feed, or beehives.
• Do not use preserved wood as mulch.
• Only preserved wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used.
• Do not use preserved wood in direct contact with aluminum.
• If the wood is to be used in an interior application and becomes wet during
construction, it should be allowed to dry before being covered or enclosed.
If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellent, or other finish to your
preservative treated wood, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions
and label of the finishing product. Before you start, we recommend you apply the
finishing product to a small exposed test area before finishing the entire project to
insure it provides the intended result before proceeding.
