What information can Simpson Strong-Tie share about claims that some newer treated timber chemical formulations are less corrosive than some currently available products?
Simpson Strong-Tie periodically conducts testing of various preservative treated timber materials which come into contact with our structural connectors and fasteners. With these results, information is conveyed through catalogs, technical bulletins, fliers and training sessions. Simpson will continue to test materials until treated wood and potential corrosion problems are resolved. As always, users should educate themselves by consulting with the chemical manufacturer of the product and other sources about claims made about the viabilty of a particular product.
