Treated

& Sealed

MellcoSeal weather stabilized lumber from Mellco utilizes new technologies to significantly improve the durability and long term appearance of treated wood used in outdoor structures.

As the weather changes, conventional treated wood contracts and expands, which may result in cracking, twisting and warping. But MellcoSeal's paraffin-based stabilizers are infused into each piece of southern yellow pine during the treating process, binding around the wood fibers and equalizing the rate of absorption and evaporation.

Consequently, the product does not require annual applications of surface sealants.
