Protek Products

The company's wood stain range originated in the 1980s using only water-based technology for the treatment and preservation of wood. This was a time when most people still used creosote to treat their timber. Protek's mission was to change the manufacture of all fencing and shed products to its new water-based wood stains and treatments.

The company promoted the use of water-based formulas containing organic pigments with boron as the preservative in concentrates against oil and solvent based high VOC (volatile organic compounds) products as the way forward. They were (and still are) easier and nicer to use and have a far lower environmental impact.
