Wood Protection Technologies, Inc. offers a suite of robust, factory applied topical wood coatings that protects against surface molds. No strength degradation, virtually no VOC’s, negligible weight gain from coating and non-corrosive.
The WOOD PRO tech System is proven to be effective in protecting whole framing packages against mold, fire, fungal decay and termites while dramatically improving dimensional stability.
Moisture is the enemy of wood framing, yet construction delays are inevitable, and lumber and panels get delivered rain or shine.
Moisture can lead to mold outbreaks that effect indoor air quality and fungal decay, both resulting in costly remediation. Research indicates that almost 50% of U.S. homes and 85% of commercial structures have some form of water damage that can lead to mold and mildew outbreaks.
WOOD PRO tech has the solution with third party tested and proven protection.
