Keywords: Soppec, Paints, Spray coatings
French company Soppec, which specialises in the design, manufacturing and sales of aerosol marking paints, has dedicated its Sylvamark range to timber industry professionals.
This new Sylvamark range is used to mark and identify trees from exploitation to the sawmill and is claimed to meet the strictest criteria regarding product performance, hygiene, user safety and respect for the environment.
The range is divided into three products with three different types of use: Fluo Marker, fluorescent paint which is said to improve marking visibility by 30 per cent compared with non-fluorescent paint; Standard Marker for stencil marking, and Strong Marker, especially formulated for long-term marking (Plate 1).
All products in the Sylvamark range claim to provide optimum performance including at low temperatures. Certified to ISO 9002, the quality of Soppec product manufacturing is reported to be guaranteed. All products have an ergonomic cap for simple and clean use with a whole range of accessories: pistol handles, spray holders, special nozzles.
As an industry, Soppec reports that it respects the environment both through the formulation and the method of production. According to the company, it recognises its responsibilities and supplies its customers with products free from toluene, chlorinated solvents, lead and CFCS. This, it believes, enables users to work with products that respect people and the environment. Likewise, all safety data sheets can be consulted on the Internet.
