A natural wood that has been infused with a non-toxic water-based formula that surrounds the micro fibers of the wood with amorphous non-irritating, non-toxic natural glass.
The Process
"The millions of fibers that comprise wood are surrounded with layers of amorphous glass that are only a few molecules thick"
The wood is infused with a water-based sodium-silicate formula containing various ingredients. The process for treating the wood relies on a micro-manufacturing technology to create an effective barrier to rot, decay and common wood problems.
The patented process uses heat to change a proprietary formula from a soluble solution that is infused into the wood. This process turns it into a microscopic layers of amorphous glass that are only a few molecules thick throughout the wood. As a result, this process provides an effective, permanent barrier so the wood is non-toxic, odorless and nonvolatile, is not corrosive to fasteners and does not cause excessive wear on tools. Because of its natural clear color, it looks and handles just like natural wood and retains all the benefits of natural wood.
Sodium Silicate
Sodium Silicate, otherwise known as waterglass, is a versatile, inorganic chemical made by combining various ratios of sand and sodium carbonate at high temperature.
Molecular Formula
Na2O.nSiO2
Commom Uses of Sodium Silicate
Sodium silicate is used widely due to its different molecules ratio and specific weight, Liquid Sodium Silicate is used to manufacture laundry soap, detergent cake, sodium metasilicate, fire resisting & acid proof cement, casting, electrodes,silica gel,tooth paste, precept silica, zeolite,construction chemicals, oil field chemicals, paints, pigments, paper making, paper cones & tubes, foundry fluxes, Etc
“Sodium silicate is a fairly harmless chemical that has been widely used in laundry detergent and other consumer products for over 100 years and as a corrosion inhibitor in municipal water treatment plants. It is not considered harmful to humans and is not regulated by the EPA,” -Alex Wilson, executive editor of Environmental Building News
