Presented By: Carlyle Holman
History of Thermally Modified Wood
The Viking Museum-Oslo
The Process No Chemicals are Used! Wood Treated with Heat and Steam Most Pressured Treated Wood Dried at 140*F EcoPrem Processed over 400 * F Eliminates Sugars and Starches
The Process (continued) Process is similar for softwoods and
hardwoods Softwood Used: Southern Yellow Pine Hardwoods: Hickory, Oak and many more!
Patent protected proprietary process: consistent results
Environmental Facts Natural Wood Product Free of toxins and chemicals Fully recyclable Bio-degradable material Comparable energy consumption to
pressure treated wood
Key Properties Permeability (water absorption) reduced Warp, twist, expansion, contractions
substantially reduced Hardness improved (Brinell Scale) Strength reduced (8%-9%) Density increased (5%-10%) Biological durability improved
Advantages of Thermally Modified Wood 100% Environmentally Friendly Zero Toxicity Dimensionally Stable Beauty of Real Wood Remarkably Durable No Resin, sugars, low moisture (resists
rot.) 30 Year Warranty
Working With EcoPrem
Safe: No Chemicals to harm workers Sawing: No difference from untreated wood Planing: Use ordinary planing equipment Milling: Requires sharp blades Sanding: Sandpaper does not gum up...less sap Gluing: Glues with water base of 10%-12%
best Drilling: Pre-drilling not required if using self
drilling deck screws
Deck & Railing Systems
