The very small amount of Tebuconazole used in Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood products is classified with the following Risk Phrases: Harmful if swallowed (R22), Toxic to aquatic organisms (R51), May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment (R53), Possible risk of harm to the unborn child (R63). Another substance named Propiconazole is also listed as hazardous substance which is under the classification of Risk Phrases: Harmful if swallowed (R22), May cause sensitization byskin contact (R43),Very toxic to aquatic organisms (R50), May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment (R53).
Due to the very limited amount of the above preservative chemicals are used in product (<or = 0.1% by weight of the board), and the controlled environment in which the preservative is applied, the likelihood of risk to organisms or the environment is low. However, OH&S requires that during manufacturing stage, extreme care should be taken when handling or applying the substance, ensuring appropriate safety gear and control over application area meet the highest standards.
