What is Osmose Indurite enhanced timber?
Osmose Indurite is a water based formulation containing a modified natural polysaccharide, similar to the cellulose in timber which has been obtained from the harvest of an annual crop. This polysaccharide has been modified to create a water soluble product that is stable in the formulation and of a critical molecular size able to be impregnated into the timber. Once impregnated (carried out by normal impregnation procedures, such as are used for preservatives) the solids in the formulation reform as natural, rigid, insoluble polysaccharide on curing. Other than the natural polysaccharide and water there are a number of catalysts present that facilitate and regulate the changes that are required of the polysaccharide. Osmose Indurite hardened timber can be used for interior flooring, furniture, doors, windows, panelling/boards and other applications where hardness and appearance are essential.
