What are the main ingredients of Weathertex?
Weathertex is 97% hardwood timber and 3% natural wax for water repellency. White acrylic primer is then applied to the surface. The accessory products are made from a range of materials including Polycarbonate/ ABS Alloy (PC/ABS), aluminium and galvanised steel. Weathertex joiners are designed to match their relevant range and profile and make joining Weathertex cladding easy, while creating a strong join that also allows for timber contraction and expansion. Concealed joiners are a different option that minimises the appearance of the joiner by sitting behind the cladding.
Is Weathertex a safe product to use?
Weathertex has similar properties to most natural wood products. Made from 97% hardwood timber and 3% wax, Weathertex is Low VOC and has no Silica, Gles, resins or Formaldehyde. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available in accordance with Worksafe Australia Guidelines, and the following statement is made in the MSDS. Weathertex is a reconstituted wood product made from wood, and wax. Exposure to wood dust may cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory system and skin, and may cause sensitisation by inhalation resulting in asthma, and by skin contact resulting in dermatitis. In addition, inhalation of wood dust may cause cancer. Worksafe Australia has established Exposure Standards for wood dust, based on the known health effects. Levels of wood dust must be kept below these Exposure Standards.
