Ecolife® Treated Wood with DCOI Offers More Advantages
- Ecolife Stabilized Weather-Resistant Wood with DCOI is the only environmentally-advanced wood protection system with a fully integrated stabilizer, standardized by the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA).
- The fully integrated stabilizer repels water, minimizes cracking and keeps boards straighter, providing maximum weathering protection from the sun and weather extremes.
- The active ingredient is DCOI, an organic, broad spectrum pesticide, that is not an EPA restricted use pesticide.
- Ecolife does not contain any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
- DCOI earned the EPA’s Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award in 1996 for its use in marine antifoulants.
- Ecolife with DCOI was developed for above ground use. The preservative formulation is designated as EL2, and standardized as a wood preservative by the AWPA in 2008.
- The Ecolife preservative is highly effective in protecting wood from fungal decay and termite attack.
- Ecolife treated wood stays straighter, minimizing lost time and money spent on culling, complaints, and callbacks.
- Ecolife treated wood is less corrosive to fasteners and compatible with aluminum products, including aluminum flashing.
- Ecolife is certified by the Home Innovation NGBS Research Labs Green Certified Product for Resource Efficiency. This means Ecolife products are eligible to contribute points toward a building's certification under the National Green Building Standard™ (NGBS).
- Ecolife is backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty. See warranty details.
- Ecolife is approved for use in above ground applications that are six inches or more from the ground in certain residential and agricultural uses.
