wood treatment autoclave

A wood autoclave or pressure vessel is a device used to reduce the combustibility of wood by means of vacuum pressure. In other words, the wood is given a fire-retardant treatment. In addition, outdoor applications are possible by applying a final water-repellent coat to the wood. This allows for a 10 year warranty to be given on the fire-retardant properties!

Wood is one of the most important raw materials of today and the technical methods for the preservation or modification of wood are becoming more and more sophisticated. For this reason ZG continuously sets new standards in the areas of impregnation, fixation, pressure steaming and heat treatment.
