MGP10 T2 Blue Structural Timber: Strength Meets Termite Protection

MGP10 T2 Blue is the go-to solution for builders and contractors seeking high-performance structural timber that combines engineered strength with reliable termite resistance. Designed specifically for internal, above-ground framing applications, this timber offers peace of mind in termite-prone regions, without compromising on structural integrity or compliance.

What Is MGP10 T2 Blue?

MGP10 T2 Blue is a machine-graded pine timber that has been treated with a low-hazard Light Organic Solvent Preservative (LOSP) to provide targeted protection against termites. The “MGP10” classification ensures the timber meets strict mechanical grading standards for strength and stiffness, while the “T2 Blue” treatment is tailored for use in areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, where termite activity is prevalent.

The distinctive blue tint is not just for show, it serves as a visual identifier that the timber has been treated for termite resistance, making it easier for inspectors and builders to verify compliance on-site.

Key Features & Benefits

• ✔
  Machine-Graded Precision (MGP10) Each piece of timber is machine-tested to ensure consistent load-bearing capacity, stiffness, and structural reliability. Ideal for framing, trusses, and other critical internal applications.
• ✔
  T2 Blue Termite Protection Treated with a low-toxicity LOSP formulation, MGP10 T2 Blue is engineered to resist termite attacks in dry, internal environments. It’s a smart choice for builders working in southern Australia where termite risk is high.
• ✔
  H2 Hazard Class Rated for H2 internal use, this timber is suitable for above-ground, dry environments. It is not recommended for in-ground use or areas with high moisture exposure, such as bathrooms or external decks.
• ✔
  Dimensional Stability Kiln-dried to reduce moisture content, MGP10 T2 Blue offers excellent dimensional stability, minimising the risk of warping, cupping, or shrinkage over time.
• ✔
  Standards-Compliant Fully compliant with AS/NZS 1748, ensuring it meets Australian building codes and structural performance requirements.
• ✔
  Sustainable Sourcing Typically sourced from certified plantation forests, this timber supports environmentally responsible construction practices.
