Wolmanized® Natural Select™ Wood
Same protection, different ingredients…
Natural Select wood works like traditional treated wood, but the preservatives used are different.
The patented preservative in Natural Select wood is a formulation of copper azole. Copper, derived from recycled sources, is the principal active ingredient, protecting against termites and fungal decay. Protection against copper-tolerant fungi is provided by an organic azole, Preventol® A8 from Bayer Chemicals, that is also used to protect many of the foods we eat such as fruit, peanuts and wheat.
The formulation renders the wood useless as a food source for termites and fungi while keeping the wood attractive, clean and odorless.
Made safely, efficiently…
Natural Select wood is made like traditional treated wood, in a pressurized cylinder using a closed system that recycles excess preservative for future use and releases no air pollutants nor wastewater. Since it is a patented product, only licensed producers who follow stringent quality control measures make Natural Select wood.
Water repellency
A compatible water repellent additive to provide built-in moisture protection is available in some areas. (For example, Thompsonized® Wood is high grade material that has factory-applied waterproofer..)
And it is wood…
Unlike plastics, steel, and concrete, Natural Select wood's source is a renewable resource grown on managed timberlands. It requires less energy to produce than plastics and offers greater insulation value; and, because of its lighter weight, preserved wood can often be installed with lighter equipment which has less environmental impact.
