Typical Applications

As a result of more than 100 ALTWOOD®-type plants utilizing the technology around the world, some for more than 20 years, the product has extensive experience in specific applications.

The following list includes some of the successful end uses identified, which you can use as a guide for determining application suitability:

  • In applications where wood is attacked by living organisms, including bacteria, fungi, insects, marine borers, etc. Piling and staging in wet lands, harbour works, boat docks, fence posts, vine stakes... more examples.
  • In animal husbandry applications where hygienic considerations require the possibility of sterilization as a precaution against infection. Pig/calf pens and floor boards, horse stalls, duck boards, chicken coops... more examples.
  • In fencing applications where wooden fencing is chewed by animals. Horse ranch fencing, goat pens, rabbit and guinea pig cages... more examples.
  • In applications where a high degree of abrasion resistance is required. Harbour fenders, boat launches, shipment loading docks... more examples.
  • In applications where an elastic and splinter-proof product is required. Road markers, road sign supports, highway reflector posts, highway markers, dock bumper rails... more examples.
  • In applications where electrical resistivity is required. Posts and rails for electric fences, supports for electrical power wiring... more examples.
  • In outdoor furniture, playground equipment and recreational equipment where wood and metal require frequent refinishing or replacement to take care of rusted parts, deterioration, weather-worn and splintered items. Climbing play areas, park benches, sandbox frames, picnic tables, stairs... more examples.
  • In applications where leaching of toxic chemicals from pressure-treated lumber is of concern. Children's playgrounds, garden and flower beds, greenhouse infrastructure... more examples.
ALTWOOD® never warps (even under direct sunlight or high ambient temperatures), splinters, cracks, erodes, or weathers. It is the logical solution for nearly all outdoor building projects.
