Hyne Timber T2 Red has been specifically developed to provide protection against the mastotermes darwiniensis in internal, above ground applications in all areas of mainland Australia, including North of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Hyne Timber T2 Blue is suitable for indoor, above ground applications South of the Tropic of Capricorn only.

For applications that require protection against both termite and fungal attack, Hyne Timber recommends the use of T3 Green Plus, which is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor, above ground applications.

T2 Red is a termite resistant material. It is intended for indoor, above ground applications north of the Tropic of Capricorn only, and is designed and manufactured to meet the service life expectations outlined by the National Construction Code (NCC). When used in conjunction with the T2 Red Installation Requirements, T2 Red will protect a building from termite action in accordance with the performance requirements of the NCC. 

Hyne Timber (Hyne & Son Pty Ltd) offers a 25 year guarantee to the home owner or purchaser against termite damage to the extent that it has become structurally unfit for its intended use.
