What is Osmose Indurite enhanced timber?

Osmose Indurite is a water based formulation containing a modified natural polysaccharide, similar to the cellulose in timber which has been obtained from the harvest of an annual crop. This polysaccharide has been modified to create a water soluble product that is stable in the formulation and of a critical molecular size able to be impregnated into the timber.

Once impregnated (carried out by normal impregnation procedures, such as are used for preservatives) the solids in the formulation reform as natural, rigid, insoluble polysaccharide on curing.

Other than the natural polysaccharide and water there are a number of catalysts present that facilitate and regulate the changes that are required of the polysaccharide.

Osmose Indurite hardened timber can be used for interior flooring, furniture, doors, windows, panelling/boards and other applications where hardness and appearance are essential.

The Osmose Indurite wood hardening system.

• Adds value to sustainable softwood timber
• Looks and lasts like premium hardwood
• Increase in hardness
• Deep penetration of colour additives an option for permeable species

Who said nature could not be improved?

Global research over the past ten years has resulted in the development of a unique and revolutionary technology which impregnates softwood with an organic cellulose compound giving it the physical properties of hardwood. Using sustainable managed plantations, the Osmose Indurite process can transform softwood right through to the core. The innovative treatment not only hardens the wood but can colour it to the desired finish.
The result is an increase in hardness.

The hardened wood works, looks and lasts like premium hardwood.
