BARamine® Technology
BARamine® is a platform of technologies that offer: • EPA-registered preservative additive • Increased Efficacy
• Improved decay protection • Penetration enhancement
• Enhanced mold protection • Solution stability
What is BARamine®?
This proprietary patented technology provides the most effective copper azole system available only from Lonza
• Combination of actives enhances protection against copper tolerant fungi • Improved protection
against aggressive fungi, e.g. Antrodia, Serpula
• Better control of standard fungi, e.g. Coniophora, Poria
• Improved preservative penetration offers better protection

BARamine® Decay Efficacy
• Increased solution uptake leads to deeper penetration • Improved management of
extractives in recycled solution
• Extractives can reduce pickup and penetration in wood
Penetration Enhancement

In a commercial trial on 2”x6” lumber, significantly more preservative reached the middle and inner zones when used in combination with BARamine® as compared to Copper Azole alone.
Solution Stability with BARamine® Technology
Charge without BARamine® displays undesirable copper residue
BARamine® treated wood better penetrates with less residue remaining on the wood
Increased solution stability leads to improved penetration and better appearance
BARamine® provides superior mold protection • Allows reduced reliance
on isothiazolones Note: Additional moldicide requirements dependent upon
• Treating cycle – FC / MFC • Geographical location • Customer expectations –
time in storage • Storage practices – wrapped,
shed, open etc.
Enhanced Mold Protection
• Treated wood with BARamine® and Lumbrella® has desirable dry appearance and low drippage even at higher water repellent loadings
Water Repellency
• Boosts existing Copper Azole preservation • Improved penetration equals better protection thus
reducing potential for failures • More consistent preservative distribution for better
performing treated wood • Improved resistance to certain aggressive copper-tolerant
fungi reduces likelihood of rot • Broad moldicide protection for brighter, cleaner looking
wood • A patented technology that is only available through
Lonza
