30% Stronger
TechWood treated lumber materials are 30% stronger when compared to pressure-treated lumber, allowing for better overall performance and long-term durability.
100% Eco-Friendly
TechWood is water soluble and non-hazardous, inhibits mold growth and minimizes VOCs while sequestering 73% of naturally occurring formaldehyde for safer indoor air quality and handling during construction.

Mixed Use Applications
TechWood treatments can be applied to residential, prefabricated, mixed use and commercial construction—as well as outdoor usage such as sheds, decking, joists, fencing and panels.
