EAST OF MACHINING
"AFFIX's" wood is easy to work with using various woodworking tools. This is a valuable trait as it allows for efficient shaping, cutting, and carving without excessive effort or tool wear.
SMOOTH FINISH
After sanding, staining, and polishing, "AFFIX" wood provides a smooth and attractive surface. This smooth finish enhances the appearance of the final product and can make it more appealing for decorative or functional purposes.
GOOD NAILING & GLUING PROPERTIES
The wood's ability to hold nails and adhere well to glues indicates that it forms strong and reliable joints. This is important in woodworking to ensure the durability and stability of assembled pieces.
QUICK DRYING WITH MODERATE SHRINKAGE
The wood dries at a reasonably fast pace, which can be advantageous for completing projects in a timely manner. Additionally, the moderate shrinkage suggests that the wood retains its structural integrity during the drying process.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY AFTER KILN DRYING
Kiln drying is a method used to reduce the moisture content of wood, which helps prevent warping, twisting, or other forms of distortion. The fact that "AFFIX" wood remains dimensionally stable after this process is a positive feature.

CHEMICAL TREATMENT
CCA
The preservative shall conform to IS : 10013 (part 2)-1981*. The preservative is specially recommended in heavy termite and marine borer infected areas and in cooling tower timbers when soft rot is the chief deteriorating factor.
CCA CONTAIN
-
Chromium - 65.50 %
-
Copper - 18.10 %
-
Arsenic - 16.40 %
PENETRATION PROCESS
-
High vacuum-pressure (As Per IS-401)
PENETRATION RATE
-
10 lit/- per cft.
CCA protect wood from dry rot, fungi , molds, termites and other pests that can threaten the integrity of wood products. The chromium act as a chemical fixing agent. It helps the other chemical to fix in the wood. The copper acts primarily to protect the wood against decay, fungi and bacteria, while the Arsenic is the main insecticidal component of copper crome arsenic (CCA)
Treated timber is not harmful to humans and domestic animals.
FINGER JOINT
Natural lengthy wood may be break & warp but finger jointed size would not bending with atmospheric effect. Finger jointing is the process to join many pieces of wood in order to form one stronger piece. This joining adds much strength; better surface looking, cheaper and more efficient piece of wood.
