AN INNOVATIVE FUTURE A PROUD HERITAGE, TANALITH® Now owned and manufactured by Arxada, the Tanalith® E: family of wood preservatives
continues to build on its heritage of performance and innovation. At the heart of the offering is Tanalith®
E, which has been providing long-term protection to joinery and landscaping products across Europe for over 30 years
THE ORIGINAL TANALISED® Due to the success of Tanalith®
TIMBER E, over the
years the term ‘tanalised timber’ has become synonymous with treated timber across the UK. Whilst this is immensely flattering for the brand, Arxada works hard with its treatment partners to differentiate Tanalith®
E treated
timbers. Heading up Arxada’s EIMEA Wood Protection marketing team, Andy Hodge explains: “A popular saying is not to judge a book by its cover,” he said. “We think the same applies to the term ‘tanalised timber’. On the surface, the treated timbers may look the same, but all modern wood preservatives have different performance credentials and different compositions. Tanalith®
E has over
30 years’ proven performance against insect attack and wood decay. We are proud that timber treated with Tanalith® tanalised timber.”
PROPELLING PERFORMANCE THROUGH SCIENCE The first Tanalith®
E is the original
E performance through product innovation. This helps to drive market development. In 2021 we launched Tanalith® Lifestyle colour range, providing built-in colour to Tanalith®
in-house R&D, regulatory and technical product teams we are committed to driving Tanalith®
E treated timber. Just two
years on we’ve already witnessed how its use is opening new opportunities for manufacturers of landscaping and fencing products across Europe.”
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE To help timber manufacturers provide transparency on the environmental performance of their products, Arxada has recently invested in updating the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Tanalith®
E, covering a cradle-to-gate E formulation was sold in
Scandinavia in 1992. A unique combination of copper and organic biocides, when impregnated into the timber through a high- pressure process, Tanalith®
E components
bond with the wood structure and cannot easily be removed, helping to significantly extend its service life. Whilst the composition of actives play a crucial role in the overall performance of Tanalith® Tanalith®
E, the unique formulation technology – BARamine Top: Hutton is a range of Tanalith® E treated
timber garden and landscaping products from Severn Valley Woodworks

– also significantly contributes. “BARamine application technology is a prime example of how Tanalith®
E penetration and distribution into the timbers and provides a solution management system that ensures the preservative actives are balanced correctly every time timber is treated. With our

E keeps on
assessment. Mr Hodge is keen to work with UK treatment partners to show how treated timber is a long-lasting option in the drive to Net Zero: “As an industry we do have pushback on the environmental credentials of pressure treated timber”, he said. “Providing a cradle- to-gate assessment, the Tanalith®
E EPD has
been updated to help our customers create a full cradle-to-grave assessment, looking at the environmental impact of timber treated with Tanalith®
E throughout its full life cycle.” ■
