SUSTAINABLE WOOD PROTECTION
At NANOARC, we merge expertise in nanoscience with a deep understanding of natural materials to extend both the life and beauty of wood. Our goal is to enhance wood’s resistance to degradation while maintaining environmental sustainability. Our wood protection solutions include:
Sustainable, non-toxic nanominerals: Designed to protect wood while minimising environmental impact, supporting greener, more sustainable building practices.
Advanced nanocoatings: Offering transparent coatings with superior protection at both surface and deep levels, guarding against moisture, heat, UV-induced resin yellowing, and mechanical wear to dramatically extend the lifespan of wooden fixtures and furniture.
Nanotechnology-driven microbial protection: Prevents bacterial and fungal growth on wood, ensuring hygienic and durable surfaces for both indoor and outdoor applications.
THE CHALLENGE
Wood is a natural polymeric composite with a range of valuable properties. However, to maintain its performance and aesthetics over time, wood must be treated to resist weathering, decay, and other forms of degradation.
Modern demand emphasises low-toxicity, cost-effective treatments that prevent the leaching of harmful chemicals into the environment. Traditional wood preservatives often contain toxic substances that threaten human health, wildlife, and plants. This underscores the need for environmentally sustainable alternatives that safeguard wood while protecting ecosystems.
WHY NANOTECHNOLOGY ?
NANOARC provides quantum-phase nanomaterials as coating additives for wood, delivering broad-spectrum protection against:
Mold and fungal decay
Humidity-related degradation
Termites and wood-boring insects
These atomically engineered nanomaterials are highly effective even at low doses, providing long-term protection without altering wood colour or harming the environment. Our nanoadditives improve wood resistance to:
Leaching of preservatives
Bacterial and fungal decay (under both dark and illuminated conditions)
Termites
Water absorption and volumetric swelling, while enhancing water repellency
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and resin yellowing
Marine corrosion and biofouling
Heat, fire, and nuclear radiation
NANOPARTICLE SIZE MATTERS
Nanoparticles serve a dual purpose in wood preservation:
Preservative carriers – Nanoparticles can encapsulate protective molecules and release them slowly over time, ensuring prolonged protection. High specific surface area and absence of surface surfactants are crucial for optimal retention and slow-release performance.
Distribution and penetrability – For maximum effectiveness, nanoparticles must penetrate wood uniformly. Large particles (>20 nm) can block tracheids and reduce penetration of preservatives, whereas smaller nanoparticles (<10 nm) can pass through wood’s cellular pits (400–600 nm), ensuring even distribution and deep-level protection.
OUR OFFER
NANOARC delivers ultra-high surface area, surfactant-free nanomaterials for effective wood protection.
With or without additional chemical agents, our nanoparticles provide deep, long-lasting protection.
Dimensions below 10 nm allow superior penetration into wood, enhancing resistance to rot, decay, chemical damage, moisture, and thermal stress.
Our solutions combine durability, environmental safety, and high performance for a wide range of wood products and applications.
Payments can be made directly through our website via bank transfer, credit card, cryptocurrency, invoice issuance for a bank transfer.
USAGE : Simply add the necessary dosage of the nanoadditive to your coating medium and apply on the desired surface.
The Higher the surface area (BET) of the nanoparticles, the more effective the nanomaterial and the lower the required dose.
**Doses can be varied depending on the designated application and functional need.
