What does Follen Wood Preserving do to prevent mold growth on Wolmanized® Residential Outdoor® wood and what protection can dealers expect?
We add moldicide to the specifications recommended by Arch Treatment Technologies* which, when used in a full cell treating cycle, provide protection on wet, stacked lumber for 6 to 9 months. Use of moldicide delays the start and reduces the rate of mold growth in wet packs of treated lumber. *Arch Treatment Technologies licenses treating companies, such as Follen, to produce Wolmanized® Residential Outdoor® wood. The license agreement requires licensees to inject a specified minimum amount of a particular mold inhibitor, along with the copper azole preservative. This inhibitor, proven over many years of use, restricts mold growth. As part of its quality control program, Follen maintains a record of additive usage to verify that sufficient mold inhibitor is mixed into the treating solution. Furthermore, solution samples are sent weekly to Arch for analysis and confirmation.
