High Pressure Preservative Treatment Process

1. Timber loaded into treatment vessel. Initial vacuum applied - timber cells evacuated of air. Vacuum held.

2. Cyclinder flooded under vacuum with Tanalith E wood preservative.

3. Hydraulic pressure applied, forcing the preservative deep into the structure of the timber.

4. Final vacuum extracts excess preservative solution, which is pumped back into storage.

5. Low pressure inside timber draws in surface solution when vented to atmosphere. Treated timber is left to dry.

Antiblu

If harvested during the growing season & left untreated, fresh sawn Redwood species is prone to Sap-stain (Blue-stain).  Although aesthetically undesirable, sap-stain is not a defect.  Anti Blu dip treatment will prevent the appearance of sap-stain thereby maintaining an unblemished appearance.
