Osmose Royale
The Osmose Royale Process was originally developed as a drying medium
for timber.
A blend of mineral and vegetable oils were used under heat and vacuum to
remove moisture from wet timber. It was discovered that timber dried by
this process benefited from some new unique properties which enhanced its
performance.
The Osmose Royale Process creates a stabilised building material with many added value opportunities for the timber cladding, fencing and pre-stain decorative timber market sectors.
Colour and Preservation
As a two stage process, the timber is preserved with Osmose Naturewood
a modern copper based preservative system. Colour pigments can be added
to the Royale oil to give an attractive pre-finished look.
The Osmose Royale Process
The timber is placed into a hot oil processing plant and subjected to
a controlled combination of vacuum and temperature to initiate moisture
removal. The heated blend of Osmose Royale oils is introduced under
vacuum into the vessel and this accelerates the moisture removal. The
removed moisture is replaced with the Osmose Royale oil. A final vacuum
is applied to remove excess Osmose Royale oil and the timber is allowed
to dry.
Benefits
The Osmose Royale process adds performance characteristics to the base
product. It is designed to seal, stabilise and protect the timber surface,
reducing cracks and surface deterioration caused by the natural swelling
and contraction caused by moisture movement in unprocessed wood.
The addition of colour creates a pre-finished product that will perform well in external applications, reducing the need for hand application of a coating and costly short term maintenance.
