Wood Modification
Wood modification refers to various processes and techniques that change or improve the properties of wood for specific uses. The most common methods of wood modification are heat treatment, chemical treatment and pressure impregnation.
Environmentally friendly products with wood modification
More sustainable wood
We offer impregnation, drying and thermal modification of wood materials to support your product development. Our services include process optimization, chemical testing and sample handling according to your requirements.
We carry out various special treatments and dryings with our comprehensive laboratory equipment. If required, we also carry out testing of third-party modified material.
We have an HTD-dryer and four impregnation plants, which allows us to carry out a wide range of modification processes.
We also carry out delamination tests for glulam, EN 113 impregnation tests and EN 84 water soak tests.
