Wood preservation

Wood is a beautiful and sustainable building material, binding ~ 0.8 MT CO2 per cubic metre of sawn timber. However, the timber species most commonly used are susceptible to fungal decay and microbial discoloration when used outdoors or under moist conditions. Fungal colonisation does not only compromise the aesthetics of the infested timber, but also endangers the mechanical integrity of the construction.

Our broad-spectrum fungicide WOCOSEN^® has more than 40 years of history in effectively protecting timber from decay and discoloration. WOCOSEN^® has a very low water solubility, but is easy to formulate, resulting in very robust and stable water- and solvent-based formulations. When used in colourless, transparent products, WOCOSEN^® perfectly preserves the natural look of the treated surface, creating a warm, cosy atmosphere, and it does not alter the hue of coloured formulations.
