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.

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.
