wood preservation industry

The wood preservation industry focuses on protecting wood from decay, insects, fungi, and environmental damage, extending its lifespan and maintaining structural integrity. This is achieved through treatment processes that infuse or apply chemicals to make the wood resistant to pests and moisture. Common treatments include pressure-treating with preservatives and surface coatings. The industry plays a vital role in construction, fencing, furniture, and outdoor infrastructure, ensuring that wood products remain durable, safe, and sustainable over time. It combines scientific research, engineering, and environmental considerations to provide effective and environmentally responsible preservation solutions.
