December 5, 2005—Timber Treatment Technologies and Huttig Building Products, Inc. have formed a national agreement for Huttig to distribute lumber treated with TTTs TimberSIL, which provides a protective barrier against most wood protection problems such as rot and decay, the companies say.
TimberSIL has received wide acclaim from leading home design and residential building trade publications for its environmentally friendly Sodium Silicate Technology. The announcement coincided with TimberSIL being named one of [ital]Popular Science[unital] magazines 2005 “Best of Whats New” award recipients.
TimberSIL and the other 2005 winners will be highlighted in the December issue of the magazine.
Lumber treated with TimberSIL provides a non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-carcinogenic barrier against most wood protection problems, says TTT. Ideal for decking applications, it is also designed for interior and exterior, above-ground and in-ground use, and is fully stainable and paintable.
Timber Treatment Technologies, LLC, utilizes a proprietary micromanufacturing process to protect and enhance wood products. TimberSIL, its flagship product, is designed to protect lumber from most wood protection problems, such as rot and decay, without using toxic ingredients. For more information, visit the Web site.
