PerdureTM: High Temperature Wood Treatment
Read the data sheet from Environment Canada.
The environmental and public health concerns that arise from the chemical treatment of wood have brought about the development of greener alternatives.
PCI Industries Inc. has created a heat treatment technology for wood (the PerdureTM technology) that does not require any added chemical agents and which sterilizes and protects the wood against microorganisms and insects (except termites), and improves its dimensional stability.
This technology, an ecological substitute for chemically treated wood, extends the service life of the wood and can be used on all species. Also, the heating process alters the colour of the bulk wood, leading to the production of exotic wood substitutes.
