PRESERVATIVE
The DURA-GUARD wood preservative used with southern yellow pine is a waterborne, alkaline copper quaternary preservative system developed to provide long-term protection of wood exposed in exterior applications. The DURA-GUARD system used with southern yellow pine is based on the well-established effectiveness of copper combined with an organic quaternary compound and is applied to wood by pressure treatment. Copper and quaternary compounds are effective fungicides and termiticides. Together they provide protection from a broad spectrum of fungi and termites. Quaternary compounds are commonly used as swimming pool additives, disinfectants and sanitizers and have antibacterial properties. The active ingredients in DURA-GUARD used with sourthern yellow pine is, copper oxide and quaternary compounds, are dissolved in an alkaline carrier.

WOOD PRODUCT
Properly treated southern yellow pineand processed DURA-GUARD products are similar to CCA treated wood products - both are pressure treated, long lasting, durable, clean to the touch and have no objectionable odor. More than a decade of field test performance and commercial use worldwide establishes the proven effectiveness of the DURA-GUARD preservative technology against termites and fungal decay. Hoover's DURA-GUARD product is Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) to an average moisture content of 19% or less. This means DURA-GUARD lumber and plywood products are lighter in weight than other preservative treated products that are not KDAT. DURA-GUARD KDAT is easier to handle and provides a product more suitable to cutting, machining and remanufacturing.
