Applying Organiclear TM5 First Treat

 Organiclear™ TM-5 First Treat wood coating is used to protect newly debarked (green) logs and timber during processing, storage, and delivery. TM-5 First Treat protects against Mold, Mildew, and Fungus and three way protection from Rain, Fading, and Weather. (Optimal protection is afforded against discoloration from UV rays.) The special one-coat water based formulation penetrates deep into the interior of green wood. TM-5 First Treat is a concentrate that can be diluted with two parts water, or 1:1 for high moisture woods such as Norway Pine or Aspen. TM-5 First Treat is designed for dipping, though spraying works well. If you choose to dilute at 2:1, it may require monitoring logs for additional coatings.

TM-5FT (First Treat) Aqueous Penetrating Wood Coating

Fresh Wood Commercial Applications

Product Description

• For handcrafted or machined logs and timber, use Organiclear™ TM-5FT wood coatings to protect newly debarked (green) logs and timber during processing, storage and delivery. Standard Tar Products' special one-coat water based formulation penetrates deep into the interior of green wood. Optimal protection is afforded against discoloration from UV rays.

• TM-5FT offers similar features as our ready-to-use TM-5 finish, but it is formulated as a water-dilutable material for maximum cost efficiency and economy in commercial use.

Sawmill and Diptank Users:

• TM5-FT is specifically formulated to be effective on freshly cut, newly debarked wood.  
• Treatment should be applied immediately (within 24 hours) to protect logs from deterioration and damage that can occur from UV rays, rain and moisture during storage and processing.

Dilution Directions:

• Organiclear's™ TM-5FT for commercial use is packaged as a water dilutable treatment.
• The suggested dilution is two (2) parts water to one (1) part Organiclear™ TM-5FT (2:1).
• Sawmills and exporters who require greater protection may require less dilution.
• Refer to product label for dilution instructions.

Dipping Instructions:

• Carefully empty TM-5FT into the diptank.
• Add the total amount of water at the proper ratio (2:1 or less).
• Logs or lumber should be totally immersed to ensure that all wood surfaces are completely treated.
• For best results, soak lumber for five minutes or longer for each inch of thickness.

Drying Time:

• Allow 12-24 hours for drying, depending upon the temperature and humidity.

Proper Clothes In Handling:

• To protect against skin irritation, always wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and goggles.
• Also use an OSHA approved mask to protect against inhaling the vapors.
• For your information and safety, please take the time to read the product label carefully before use.

Packaging:

Available in 1,5,and 55-gallon containers. The most convenient container for diptank applications
will be 55-gallon drums.
