Making Wood Better

Wood is the most renewable, natural resource the world produces. Properly managed forests will regenerate after harvest, sustaining continual, repetitive utilization over centuries. The environmental benefits of wood are at the forefront today, as carbon sequestration has taken center stage in the global warming conversation. Wood is a preferred building material due to the value and strength it offers. The appearance of wood is preferred aesthetically for bringing warmth to home décor. Simply put, wood is good. But, like all good things, wood can be better with a little help. That improvement on the natural beauty, durability, and environmental benefit of wood, is what KopCoat’s wood and material business unit is all about. The longer wood lasts, the more each of these positive attributes are accentuated.

Haven’t heard of KopCoat Protection Products? That’s okay. Allow us to introduce ourselves. KopCoat has been working behind the scenes, serving the forest products industry for 40 years.

KopCoat is a global leader in specialty chemical programs and application equipment to protect building materials, forest products, and farm products, from biological and weathering damage.

???????????KopCoat offers wood protection industrially for lumber manufacturers, railroad tie treaters, and engineered wood manufacturers. We offer protection for everything around the home, on the home, and in the home. Construction lumber, interior wood finishings, timber framing, fencing, decking, trim, windows, and doors are all wood products KopCoat takes great pride in creating solutions for protecting. When you use KopCoat, you to optimize and maximize the life of the wood used for these products.

KopCoat’s strength is establishing relationships built on customer service.?Admittedly, this is an often-overused cliché for companies. However, KopCoat takes this very seriously. We understand that many of our forest products customers’ primary business, is not treating their wood with preservatives, so we embrace being their onsite treatment resource. We have sales and service specialists across the country that service our customers as often as each requires. We engage our customers in a mutually agreed upon, individualized, action plan that our representatives execute, in cooperation with our customers. We facilitate testing and validation of the prescribed treatment for each customer and invest time in communicating and explaining the results to their pertinent staff and leadership. We call our approach to service, “Totally Outrageous Service”.?Outrageous is a strong claim, but it’s one we take seriously, and hold ourselves accountable to, when we earn a company’s business.???

???????????Being a service, rather than a sales company, allows us to provide a full package of R&D, innovation, and equipment solutions to our customers. KopCoat maintains over 100 patents in chemical preservation technology. Developing innovative, wood preservative technology is a priority, so we are prepared to adapt, as wood destroying organisms do, and keep our customer’s products protected. KopCoat also has the ability to bring application equipment engineering and installation services to our customers, through our TDS Technologies group. TDS personnel are proficient with dip tanks, linear and transverse spray boxes, and mixing/metering equipment.
