Egger (UK) Ltd - EGGER UK’s Weyroc® is now less green, but more
‘greener'
Leading chipboard manufacturer EGGER
UK Ltd has removed a green dye from the production of
its moisture resistant Weyroc® flooring products –
making them ‘greener’!
The green dye was originally added to flooring boards,
which are used extensively in the construction industry,
to visually differentiate between standard P4 grade
boards and the company’s moisture resistant boards
Weyroc® P5 and Weyroc® PCX. EGGER ceased production of
P4 boards in 2004.
The removal of the green dye does not affect the
performance of the boards in any way. Although they no
longer have the visible green surface, they remain CE
certified as complying with P5 grade and are clearly
identified through their surface stamp and packaging.
EGGER UK has also consulted with the NHBC over the
change and has been assured it will not cause an issue,
as inspectors are required to not rely solely on the
green surface for assurance of moisture resistant
properties.
The tough tongue and groove boards each meet specific
needs within the construction industry; Weyroc® P5 is a
moisture resistant load-bearing chipboard, Weyroc®
Protect is a BBA-approved product that is ideal for new
build properties and Weyroc® PCX is ideal for
refurbishment and renovation works.
EGGER’s BBA-approved ‘Rapid Deck’ system has also fast
become a favourite of the new-build sector. It combines
Weyroc Protect with the specially formulated Weyroc® D4
Adhesive in an easy and quick floor laying system that
can even be carried out in the rain.
EGGER UK marketing manager Nick McClughin said:
“Customers have been contacted by letter explaining the
change and a notice is also being included with Weyroc®
packs for a short period.
“While the coloured paste was not classified as
dangerous, its removal from the production process
eliminates any environmental risk from disposal, burning
or contamination of water courses.
to the strict ecological regulations laid down by the
wood processing industry.
“The credibility that Egger has achieved through its
environmental measures is reflected throughout the
company. Sound ecological principles will ensure our
responsibility towards the environment throughout the
21st century.”
