It is Protek\u2019s task as manufacturers of quality industrial and decorative timber coatings\u00a0and preservatives to design a treatment that is effective and long lasting, while aiming\u00a0not to harm the user or any flora and fauna that comes into contact with it.\u00a0The Protek range is the attractive and effective solution to looking after all types of\u00a0outdoor timber. Each product is skilfully made to minimise any human health and\u00a0safety risk and the effect on the environment. They can be used on a variety of\u00a0finished states such as rough sawn or planed surfaces and will leave a natural looking\u00a0coloured stain finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Environmental impact<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Protek wood stain range originated in the 1980s using only water-based technology for the treatment and preservation of wood. This was a time when most people still used creosote to treat their timber. Our mission at Protek was to change the manufacture of all fencing and shed products to our new water-based wood stains and treatments. We promoted the use of water-based formulas containing organic pigments with boron as the preservative in concentrates against oil and solvent based high VOC (volatile organic compounds) products as the way forward. They were (and still are) easier and nicer to use and have a far lower environmental impact.<\/p>\n

The decisions we make today to limit the impact we have on the environment is the same philosophy that Protek was created on and one we continue to improve upon. The processes we employ to make the products are in the most energy efficient ways possible. Our long-term commitment to reusing materials and waste on-site within our products are as important to minimising the impact on the environment as the ingredients we put in to make our comprehensive range of wood stains.<\/p>\n<\/div>
