[Woodcarver] Pentacryl

[Steve Lankerd Sr]

I'm pretty sure that their web site address is as follows...
http://www.kop-coat.com/    Give them a call and I'm sure they can tell you 
who carries their products.
They have phone numbers and an added benefit... MSDS listings for all of 
their products.  Super nice people!

>> 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....

>>

>> Best Regards,
