WOOD MANUFACTURERS

Yes - and we thoroughly recommend it.

Pre-oiled wood can make projects faster, easier and more predictable by reducing the amount of coating work required after the wood arrives on site.

It also means the wood is protected earlier - helping improve dimensional stability through transport, installation and beyond - while giving customers a more complete, value-added product from the outset.

For wood manufacturers and suppliers, it creates an opportunity to add value to the wood before it leaves your business, rather than leaving that value to be added further down the supply chain.

Want to explore whether pre-oiling makes sense for your wood and your market? Contact us - we'd love to talk.

Absolutely. CUTEK® Wood Solutions works with wood manufacturers of all sizes to find practical ways to integrate pre-oiling into existing production processes.

Our products are easy to handle and production-friendly, and because the oil remains fluid rather than drying in application equipment, it can offer significant advantages in a manufacturing environment.

Every production line is different, so contact us and tell us how yours works. We can help you explore the most practical way to integrate CUTEK® into your process.

Absolutely. You don't need an existing pre-coating operation to start offering pre-oiled wood.

We can work with you to understand your wood, production volumes, current processes and what you want to achieve - then help develop a practical pathway to pre-oiling. That might mean using equipment you already have, adapting your current process, or connecting you with trusted equipment suppliers from within our industry network.

Whatever that pathway looks like, our technical experts can support you at every stage. We've helped wood businesses do this before, and we want to help make your pre-oiling program a success too.

Absolutely. We want to understand your wood before we recommend how to protect it.

Different wood species and manufactured or modified wood products can behave differently, so compatibility, intended use, exposure, manufacturing processes and the performance you're trying to achieve all matter.

Our technical team can work with you to understand your product, assess its specific requirements and determine the most appropriate CUTEK® coating solution. Where needed, we can also undertake further testing or involve our R&D team.

Your wood is your expertise. Protecting it is ours. Contact us and let's work through the right solution together.

Absolutely. If customers are investing in your wood, what they put on it after purchase matters.

We can work with your technical team to understand your wood, how it will be used and the environments it will face — then help establish clear recommendations for protection, color and ongoing maintenance.

We can also help with the practical side, including technical guidance and resources that make it easier for your customers, contractors and distributors to care for your wood correctly over the long term.

You've worked hard to create a great wood product. Contact us and let's make sure the protection recommended after sale does it justice.

It starts with a conversation - and usually, a sample of your wood.

Send us a sample and our technical team can begin assessing compatibility and performance. For more specialized products, we'll typically work directly with your R&D or technical team to develop an agreed testing protocol, so together we can determine whether CUTEK® Extreme is suitable for your wood and its intended application.

And we'll be honest about the results. Understanding what our products can - and sometimes cannot - do is an important part of providing the right advice. If CUTEK® isn't the right solution, we'll tell you and, wherever we can, help point you in the right direction.

Ultimately, we want your wood to succeed. Contact us, send us a sample, and let's find out, together, what it needs.

Absolutely - in fact, we encourage it.

Your technical team understands your wood, manufacturing process and performance requirements better than anyone. Our team brings specialist knowledge in wood protection, coatings and application. Bringing those two areas of expertise together is often the best way to determine suitability and achieve the right outcome.

We can collaborate on compatibility testing, testing protocols, application methods, performance requirements and aftermarket recommendations - with both teams contributing their expertise throughout the process.

Your wood is your expertise. Protecting it is ours. Contact us and let's get our technical teams talking.

Yes. If you're investing in making CUTEK® products part of your wood offering, we want to support your business too.

Depending on your market, we can help connect customers, contractors and other wood professionals with businesses supplying CUTEK® oil pre-treated wood, while supporting the technical knowledge and resources needed to use it successfully.

We also believe strong connections across the wood industry benefit everyone - from the manufacturer and supplier through to the contractor and end customer.

Contact us and tell us about your pre-oiled wood offering. Let's talk about how we can support it - and help people find it.

Yes - pressure treatment and CUTEK® oil pre-treatment perform two very different, yet complementary jobs.

Pressure treatment helps protect wood against biological threats such as decay and insect attack. CUTEK® Extreme addresses moisture management - helping reduce the dimensional movement that can cause wood to swell, shrink, cup, warp, twist, bow and split.

There is a long-held belief that pressure-treated lumber needs to weather for an extended period before it can be coated. That may be relevant to some coating systems, but CUTEK® Extreme does not require the wood to weather for a year before application. It can be applied before or after installation, provided the wood is suitable for application.

That creates an opportunity to address both sides of wood protection much earlier - biological protection through pressure treatment, and moisture management and improved dimensional stability through CUTEK® Extreme.

For manufacturers and lumber suppliers, that can mean offering customers a more complete wood product from the beginning, while creating an additional value-added opportunity within your own business rather than leaving that step until after installation.

And we'd rather work with you to make that happen. CUTEK® Wood Solutions can work alongside your technical and production teams to assess compatibility, establish the right application process and explore how moisture-management protection could fit into the way you manufacture, supply or recommend your pressure-treated lumber.

Pressure treatment protects against biological attack. CUTEK® Extreme helps manage the moisture that makes wood move. Contact us - let's explore what combining the two could do for your wood, your customers and your business.
