◙ Goodfellow Terra® is pressure treated with MicroPro® Micronized Copper Azole

◙ Preservative registered by Health Canada, for use for treated wood products for above ground, in ground contact and in fresh water end use applications.

Micronized Copper Technology

◙ Unlike ACQ or CA, MicroPro does not use organic solvents to dissolve copper for pressure treating

◙ The copper is micronized into sub-micron sized particles small enough to be pressure treated into wood

◙ Micro copper particles are physically deposited in the wood cells in solid form.

Micronized Copper Technology

Excellent Decay and Termite Performance

Several research papers have concluded that micronized copper systems:◙ provide excellent protection against fungal decay and termite attack◙ perform as well or better than ACQ or CA treated wood products.

◙ Over 150,000 board feet of Canadian wood was pressure treated with MicroPro and evaluated before the product was released in 2012

◙ MicroPro treated wood is in the CSA standards and can meet Canadian building codes.

Excellent Performance on Canadian Species

◙ Micronized iron oxide pigments in the treating solution create a rich, warm earthtone colour

◙ The colour is not a dye system◙ Durability and performance of

pressure treated wood with colour added.

Preferred in Focus Groups

◙ Brown MicroPro treated wood was top rated by focus groups of DIY and Pro users of treated wood in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Minneapolis

◙ The aesthetic appeal of the colour and the finished look were the most compelling features.

Conclusions
