> Hello All...

> I have been reading everyone's comments on Pentacryl and have decided to 

> add

> my 2 cents.  As I am a retired sawmill employee who spent almost 25 years

> with the timber industry, hearing about any product that starts with the

> word "Penta" really concerns me.  Of those 25 years, I was in upper

> management for 15.  In 1988 we built a brand new, high tech sawmill and

> along with that was a problem as to how to keep fresh cut lumber from

> staining and developing mold and mildew.  As the QC Supervisor, I was

> directly responsible for this task.  I did controlled experiments using

> different industrial anti-stain treatments, I made a ton of phone calls 

> and

> traveled over the Pacific Northwest and California to mills to see 

> firsthand

> the problems they had, both with stain & mildew AND the states 

> Environmental

> laws.  The major issue that came about was that any product with a "Penta"

> on it was highly scrutinized due to the toxicity levels of certain

> chemicals.  After spending time with Professors at the University of 

> Oregon,

> we all came up with the same conclusion, stay away from Penta products.

> Mills that used dip tanks for their lumber were faced with crippling costs

> of major environmental cleanups that it forced some of them to shut down. 

> I

> made sure our mill would not be forced with that type of closure.  We went

> with a "Kop-Coat Inc." product called "NP-1".  I don't know personally 

> what

> products that they may have but I can attest first hand that on an

> industrial level, the State of Alaska approved this companies products to 

> be

> used at a sawmill that was located next to a large salmon bearing stream 

> and

> salt water cove.  One word of advise....and I do this religiously, when

> using any new chemical or product that I am not sure of, I request an MSDS

> sheet that quotes every chemical in the product as well as toxicity levels

> and notes if it is a hazard to man or animal.  Like I said, just my 2

> cents....

>>> Hi Harry,

>>>

>>> Checking refers to the cracks that appear in wood as it dries. 

>>> Pentacryl

>>> displaces the water in green/wet wood, greatly reducing that crackiing.

>>> In my experience, Pentacryl does not discolor the wood like PEG does, 

>>> and

>>> according to the labels it is non toxic when it dries.
