On-line Partners Program

Hoping to encourage the development of on-line resources for the forest products industry, ForestNet has launched a Strategic Partners Development Program, bringing together providers of content as well as technology, sales and marketing services.

"We believe that strategic alliances will be necessary for the forest products industry to bloom on the Web since no one or two companies have the capability to stay curent with the booming technology and information content," says ForestNet pres. Martin Desmond. "We are launching the program to encourage companies to work together to achieve mutual financial goals to make the Web more attractive for the forest products industry."

WOODSHADES combines the durability of pressure treated wood with the look ol redwood or cedar

Treated Wood Shows New Colors

Cedar and redwood are popular alternatives for backyard construction due to their warm natural colors. In a recent Resource Information Systems Inc. study, appearance and color were cited as their reasons for using redwood by 38Vo of consumers and for using cedar by 27Vo. As well, 2l%o of professional remodelers preferred the appearance and color of redwood and cedar.

Yet end-users are finding it increasingly difficult to locate redwood and cedar in many areas of the U.S. If they do find quality all-heart cedar or redwood, the cost can be too high for the budget conscious. In addition, much of the cedar and redwood in today's market contains sapwood, decreasing the decay and termite resistance normally associated with these naturally durable species.

Consumers and remodelers desire a natural appearance and attractive color for their backyard projects as well as an affordable price and long-term rot and termite resistance.

To meet these needs, Osmose Wood Preserving, Inc. has introduced a breakthrough in treated wood colorant technology - WoodShades. The pre-stain system masks CCA's traditional green color with a choice of natural finishes: redwood, cedar, rustic brown or driftwood gray.

Stains are commercially applied at treating plants using automated spray equipment. Products are then treated with CCA preservative, retaining their new color, to earn a limited lifetime warranty against rot and termite attack.

The same type of colorant technology developed for

WoodShades can also be used to stain untreated wood products, such as fence boards. And WoodShades is compatible with most exterior-type stains, so the redwood or cedar color can be renewed using readily available stains.

WoodShades is only the latest innovation from Osmose, which has over 60 years in the development of wood preserving products and services. As treated wood gained consumer acceptance in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the company recognized the need for a colorized treated wood product. In 1982, it received a patent on Sunwood, the first color additive for CCA treated wood. The process provides the appearance and weathering characteristics of redwood or cedar. Following a successful introduction on the West Coast, Sunwood is now the most recognized brand name of colorized treated wood in the U.S.

In 1988, Osmose developed a line of special purpose exterior coatings, including stains and clear water repellents for outdoor treated wood projects, specially formulated for treated wood. In 1990, it added a second line of exterior coatings, Osmose Better Earth, acrylic water-based systems designed to meet federal and state VOC requirements.
