All-round service ensures high quality of impregnation
Our wood protection experts supported construction management during the entire impregnation process. Wolmanit CX-8 was applied to the wood using the so-called vacuum pressure treatment: The wooden parts were cut, drilled, milled, and then impregnated with the preservative in a large-scale facility. The Wolman team checked the quality of the impregnation regularly by analyzing single wood elements in the laboratory.
