Bochemit, for more than 50 years protecting and treating wood

Bochemit is part of the Czech group Bochemie whose history goes back 115 years, specializing in chemicals for the production of disinfectants for hospitals, car batteries or textile protection. The Bochemit division was established in 1968, dedicated to the treatment and protection of wood. It also produces treatments to protect wood against insects, molds and fungi or to increase the wood's resistance to fire and humidity.

Wood is a very versatile material with many uses. From furniture and interiors, to musical instruments, the most diverse constructions, even games or serving platters, everything is made from wood. There are many different species and different properties, so you can find the right wood for any project. But there are also properties that can sometimes be harmful. Wood's ability to burn by giving off heat makes it a fireproof material. Being natural and alive even after cutting, it becomes, under certain conditions, food for fungi, micro-organisms and insects. Its ability to absorb water and swell so that it perfectly joins the staves of a barrel becomes a defect when the wood is stored in high humidity environments. Bochemit offers solutions and remedies for all these weaknesses so that the wood can be used safely.

On how to treat with Bochemit products you will find extensive presentations in the pages of the magazine. For example, information about treating wood against insectsabout treating and preventing fungal attack.
