Treating
Protecting OSB from fungal or insect attack
- We recommend a 3-minute dip cycle with a solvent-based system
- An adequate amount of preservative will be absorbed in this way
- Avoid double-vacuum systems and water-based chemicals, as these can cause damage
OSB and fire retardants
- Some fire retardant impregnation systems use double-vacuum and water-based systems
- For safety, always get the structural performance characteristics from the treatment company and follow their recommendations
- Alternatively, use fire retardant paints and finishes as these can be used on OSB
