Wood is a natural material that can be used both indoors and outdoors. Untreated wood is subject to damage over time, usually caused by wood-destroying insects. Other enemies of wood are fungi and molds. They appear when wood is exposed to moisture. The most endangered are those materials that are embedded in the exterior or are in direct contact with the ground or water. If these materials are treated with preventive protection agents, they will remain healthy for a long period of time and their useful life will be significantly increased. Products of this type that you can find on our site are produced by proven brands and manufacturers such as WURTH, PENOSIL, AQUIS, BORO, LEVIS, ORGAHIM, LACKPROM, KRAFT, PERCENTA, KLARA, MEGAHIM, etc.
According to their intended purpose, our offer of wood impregnants is the richest, but we also have impregnants for wood and metal , impregnants for stone , rust converters , and impregnants for joints .
WOOD IMPREGNATORS - FUNCTION AND APPLICATION
Conventional paints do not protect wood against attack by most types of wood-destroying insects. As a result of temperature changes, wood shrinks or expands, which can cause cracks to form in the final paint layer. As a result, wood is exposed to a high risk of attack by pests.
That's where impregnation agents come in. The lifespan of treated wood depends on the impregnation method, as well as the conditions the treated material is exposed to. Appropriate treatment extends the lifespan of wood by several decades.
Impregnation is an effective means of protecting wood from rotting in conditions of moisture, temperature and air favorable for rotting. The process itself is the introduction of chemical substances into the wood in order to improve its characteristics and impart new properties. Impregnation stabilizes dimensions, increases strength and resistance to water, moisture and chemicals, and reduces the possibility of cracking. The most common impregnation methods use antiseptics, which provide protection against rot and other forms of biological deterioration, as well as fire retardants, which protect the wood from ignition and combustion.
METHODS FOR IMPREGNATION OF WOOD
Wood can be impregnated superficially and deeply. Only hardwood can be impregnated deeply, completely, due to its wood structure. Surface impregnation is carried out by brushing or spraying with a sprayer.
The technological sequence for surface impregnation is as follows: decontamination (sterilization), drying, mechanical processing and surface impregnation. Deep impregnation is more complex and uses a variety of techniques.
In addition to impregnants, the product group also includes accompanying products for material protection such as linen and alkyd bezier, rust converter, wood oil, stone varnish, and nanocoatings for various purposes.
