Cooee Biosciences has developed and patented unique non-toxic, environmentally-friendly technologies and products, which specialize in the control and management of water content in natural and man-made materials.

Cooee Biosciences recently released a new non-toxic, environmentally-friendly product called TimberTreat that caused a huge amount of interest at the prestigious International Research Group on Wood Preservation Conference held in Brisbane this spring. This remarkable new oil-in-water emulsion wood treatment takes a new approach to preserving wood products. Instead of using toxic chemicals to kill or repel threats to untreated timber, it uses two principles - waterproofing combined with a low-dose, antimicrobial ionic quaternary ammonium compound.

The result is a synergistic product that is highly effective in protecting wood against splitting & cracking, wood rot and fungal growth, termite attack, mold growth, and even provides UV protection. Cooee plans to register TimberTreat as a wood preservative and cross-register it as a termiticide.

Currently marketed only in Australia, TimberTreat will soon be available in other countries worldwide. The product will also be sold in a tinted version in 5 popular colors.

Nisus Corporation produces and distributes borate-containing wood treatment products including "Bora-care" and "Tim-bor" which are used for treating wood with borate compounds. Borate compounds are non-toxic compounds that have been in use for over 300 years to stop decay and kill insects. They are a safe alternative to synthetic and toxic chemicals, such as CCA. Borates kill termites, beetles, ants, silverfish, crickets and cockroaches. Insects do not develop resistance to borate-containing products and can be used on historic structures.

Trex Wood-Polymer™ lumber is made from reclaimed plastic and wood waste in approximately equal proportions. Its durability makes it an ideal choice for decking and landscaping. Unlike plastic lumber, which is typically 100% plastic, Trex decking is approximately 50% wood fiber and 50% plastic. Because of the wood content, Trex decking has the advantages of low thermal expansion/contraction, natural UV stability, good traction and paintability, and Trex decking is just as easy to work with as wood. Trex lumber contains no toxic preservatives and can be included and disposed of with normal construction debris. We salute the TREX Company for its innovation in producing a wonderful product made from recyclable materials!
