Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after
In 2001 Chemisys Australia opened a manufacturing plant in Brisbane to produce Cutek for the Australian market. Together they service the Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australian markets
In 2011, Chemisys brought their product to the United States and Canada to expand the great results they achieved with their nature woods in Australia. This product can be used on all types of softwood and hardwoods such as Pressure Treated Pine or Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock, Oaks and Maples and can even be used on the increasingly poplular tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.
They believe the unique properties of Cutek will see it replace most other timberpreservative and coating products. “This all-in-one timber preservative and coating oil is unique because it deeply penetrates the timber substrate, providing superior water repellence and assisting with long-term dimensional stability,”
The success of Cutek in both the commercial and residential sector has been “quite spectacular.” Architects and builders are attracted to Cutek because of the reduced maintenance cycle and because it’s so easy to apply. “Cutek doesn’t require any special application tools or the use of any primers,”
Timber coated with Cutek only requires a simple wash down before re-coating. There is no sanding or stripping needed. Cutek is available in either a clear coat or a wide range of natural colour tones. Able to be used on any species of wood, Cutek enhances the natural beauty of wood without hiding the grain.
Another feature that appeals to the building industry is the fact that Cutek is best applied immediately. Other coating products need time for the timber to release its natural water-soluble extractives (tannins) before application. This 3-6 months waiting time is prohibitive for most commercial building. It also contributes to unwanted movement, shrinkage and staining of the timber. There has been a dramatic increase in requests for Cutek treated timber for large-scale exterior projects.
