Wood Preservation
Our woods are pre-treated with the state-of-the-art TANALITH preservative to ensure a long life and require little maintenance.
Proven long-term protection
More than 20 years of successful commercial use, and extensive independent testing, underpin the performance of the latest Tanalith® wood preservative and Tanalith® pressure-treated wood.
Protecting against all forms of wood rot and insect attack, including termites, this proven treatment incorporates exclusive, award-winning BARamine® application technologies that help deliver an even deeper preserving action on woods.
Treated woods have an initial pale green color that slowly changes to a honey brown and, eventually, to a natural silvery gray.
As an alternative, we can also incorporate the TANATONE™ color technology into the treatment, which provides an intense brown color to treated wood.
We sell the following treated products:
- Lumber
- Poles for airline
- Poles for fencing and agriculture
- Pine bark
- Pallets
High pressure treatment process
-
The woods are loaded into the treatment container. An initial vacuum is applied and the wood cells are emptied of air.
-
The treatment vessel is flooded under vacuum with Tanalith® wood preservative and, if required, with TANATONE™ coloring agent.
-
Hydraulic pressure is applied, forcing the preservative to penetrate deep into the wood structure.
-
A final vacuum extracts any excess preservative solution, which is pumped back into the tank.
-
The low pressure inside the wood extracts a surface preservative solution when released into the atmosphere. The treated woods are left to dry.
