Wood, as a natural and vital material, is widely used in construction, landscaping, furniture and other fields. However, environmental factors such as humidity, high temperature and microbial growth often expose wood to the threats of decay, mildew and insect infestation, which not only shorten its service life but also affect its appearance and safety. Nowadays, the emergence of BIT (1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one) has brought a revolutionary solution to wood anti-corrosion, enabling every inch of wood to remain tough and clean through the baptism of time.
I. BIT Anti-corrosion: Tackling the Root Cause of Wood "Aging"
The main culprits of wood decay are the erosion of microorganisms such as fungi, molds and bacteria. These microorganisms take cellulose and hemicellulose in wood as nutrients and multiply in suitable temperature and humidity, leading to loose wood structure, reduced strength and ultimately loss of use value.
As a highly effective and low-toxic preservative, BIT works by penetrating microbial cell membranes, disrupting intracellular enzyme systems and genetic materials, thereby fundamentally inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Experimental data show that when the addition of BIT in wood reaches 0.1%-0.5%, it can achieve an inhibition rate of over 99% against common wood-rotting fungi (such as white rot fungi and brown rot fungi) and molds (such as Aspergillus niger and Penicillium), blocking the chain of wood decay from the source.
Outdoor wooden floors, pavilions, plank roads and other structures are long exposed to sun and rain, making them hotspots for microbial growth. Traditional preservatives either have short-lived effects or are highly toxic, which are likely to pollute soil and water sources.
BIT has excellent weather resistance. Wood treated with BIT can maintain stable anti-corrosion performance in the temperature range of -30℃ to 60℃. In rainy southern regions, outdoor floors preserved with BIT can have a service life extended to more than 15 years, far exceeding the 3-5 years of untreated wood. Moreover, no heavy metals are precipitated throughout the process, meeting the standards of environmentally friendly building materials.
Wooden fences, flower boxes, waterfront platforms in gardens are often in high-humidity environments and prone to mildew and blackening. Wood treated with BIT can form a long-lasting "protective film", which can effectively resist mold invasion even in continuous rainy weather, keeping the wood surface clean and beautiful.
If indoor furniture is made of wood without anti-corrosion treatment, it may breed mold in humid environments, affecting human health. BIT is low-toxic and has no pungent odor. Wood treated with BIT can be directly used in the manufacture of wardrobes, floors, tables, chairs and other furniture. It can not only prevent wood from mildewing but also ensure that the home environment is safe and harmless, especially suitable for sensitive areas such as children's rooms and bedrooms.
The anti-corrosion effect of BIT is 3-5 times that of traditional preservatives, and its effect lasts longer. Taking outdoor plank roads as an example, wood treated with BIT anti-corrosion only increases the cost by 10-15 yuan per square meter, but it can reduce 3-5 renovation costs, showing significant long-term cost performance advantages.
BIT contains no harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. The treated wood can directly contact soil, water sources and human bodies, making it an ideal choice for green buildings and environmentally friendly homes.
BIT can be applied to the surface and interior of wood through various methods such as soaking, spraying and brushing. It can easily handle logs, boards and finished furniture. Its water-soluble formula is also compatible with wood stains, flame retardants, etc., without affecting the secondary processing of wood.
Whether in the hot and humid southern rainforests or the cold and dry northern outdoors, BIT can play a stable role. It has a strong inhibitory effect on various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and yeasts, comprehensively safeguarding wood safety.
From ancient garden buildings to modern home spaces, wood carries people's love for nature and life. The emergence of BIT makes this love no longer limited by time and environment. Choosing BIT wood anti-corrosion solutions can not only extend the service life of wood and reduce maintenance costs but also protect the harmonious coexistence of nature and health.
