Wood that is completely natural, readily available, affordable yet also durable is not common. In general, hard wood is more durable than soft wood, but due to its slow growth rate, is not commercially available in large quantities. On the other hand, timber cut from soft wood is often attacked by fungi, causing discoloration deep within the wood.
We are a leading supplier of cationic quat and amine-based biocides for wood preservation. Our products can be formulated to effectively control fungi and bacteria to help against wood discoloration and decay and are free from metals such as chromium and arsenic.
We also have extensive expertise in cationic and nonionic surfactants, which are applied as emulsifiers in water-based wood preservation formulations. Some of the tools we use include quaternaries, alkoxylated amines, diamines and alkoxylated alcohols.
