wood. It has been developed as
a safer (for the user) alternative
to original creosote. It is still
designed to be used to protect
wood against rotting fungi and
wood destroying insects on
external timbers. It is ideally
suited to rough woods on sheds,
fences and barns, providing
excellent surface water repel-
lency, thus restricting any
weather damage.
WOCO Creocote can be used
on a variety of exterior woods
not only to protect and pre-
serve but also to improve grain
definition. The product also
exhibits the characteristic odour
and colour familiar to traditional
creosote users.
Still prefer the good old-fash-
ioned stuff? Witham do stock
original creosote but this can
only be purchased by profes-
sional users and registered trade
account customers. They can
supply in a minimum of 25 litre
drums or 200 litre barrels.
