Paul Eckert About Timber Preservation By Robert M Littlejohn.

Why We Know What Petri-Wood Can Do For You?

Scientific studies conducted by Dr. Robert Adams of Baylor University in Waco, Texas support the claims as noted in his 1992 publications. In the Cedarcide Dow Corning Technology, Silanes, a derivative of Quartz, are cross linked to the Cedar Oils. They provide moisture protection to the cell walls of the wood. This technology is considered NANO and the delivery of Cedarshield’s treatment solution is actually instrumental in the penetration of the hydroxyl group molecular structure where upon entrance, it becomes a water scavenger, completely eliminating any free bound water in the wood. The hydrogen tail of the molecule is then collapsed and no further moisture can enter the wood’s cellular structure, thus leaving the media 100% dimensionally stable. An objective which is not obtainable with the kiln dried methods of wood preservation.

The “Absence of Moisture is the Absence of Issues” relates Glassel, the World’s leading Cedar Oil scientist. Without moisture, there can be no expansion and contraction, no warping and no decay or insect attack. “The science of the invention of these products actually triggers the petrification of wood” quotes Dr. George Jenkins of the University of New Brunswick, noted Canadian wood scientist.

Texas A & M University’s C. Wayne Smith, who heads up the Archaeological Preservation Research Laboratory in College Station, Texas, for the preservation of artifacts and recovered shipwrecks was asked to comment on the use of these Cedarcide and Petri-Wood preservation products in Railroad Ties, Utility Poles, Deck-Dock-Fence materials. His reply was “It is like the SILVER BULLET the timber industry has been waiting for”. Scott Miller, Application engineer for the Dow Corning Corporation totally agrees with Smith.

These products and treatments are fast becoming the leader in wood preservation because, after treatments are applied, there is no further need for re-applications and the timbers treated are fully guaranteed against fungal attack, rot, decay, insect attack and even attack by beavers, for periods of up to THIRTY YEARS, depending on the treatment applied.

One application triggers the early stages of wood petrification. It also triggers the immediate exodus of both free and bound water in the fibre structure and cellular make up of wood. The wood is no longer subject to moisture, either as air borne humidity or in liquid form. Expansion and contraction of the wood ceases and total dimensional stability is obtained, eliminating warping, splitting and cupping of wood as it ages. The end result of the treatment renders the wood 100% insect, decay and water resistant, forever. Unlike Thompson Water Seal and other proprietary coatings currently being utilized Worldwide and only last for short periods of time, these Cedarcide and Petri-Wood products penetrate deeper than any known alternative and what’s more, they actually continue to work for extremely long periods of time without any need for re-treatments or special conditions. They are quite simply the BEST AVAILABLE on the planet.

You always had a choice in wood preservation. Now you have the BEST choice ever offered anywhere.

Energy Conservation – Simple Tips that Will Reduce Your Energy Bill

Paul Eckert Energy Conservation By Hans Dekker.

There are many good reasons to conserve energy. If we use less gas, oil and electricity we will save money, and the pollution associated with extracting and using fossil fuels will decrease. Reducing greenhouse gas production may help to reverse global warming. In a nutshell – conservation of energy has both personal and societal benefits.

Most people are concerned with making their money last longer and energy conservation can help by reducing our energy costs. Homeowners can do many things to cut down on their energy needs. Perhaps the best thing they can do to is to install better insulation to retain warm and cool air.

Heating and air conditioning are the biggest energy consumers of the average household. Much of the heat and cool air escapes because of poorly insulated roofs, walls, doors, and windows. In fact in a lot of cases heating and cooling is responsible for around 50% of your energy costs. Improving insulation will result in greater conservation of energy and lesser energy costs. Small changes in this area can result in dramatic reduction in your monthly payment to your utility company.

Old cooling and heating appliances should be replaced with newer models which are more energy efficient. Other large appliances like refrigerators can also be replaced with newer models that are designed to conserve energy. Always make sure you read the energy label, if you do, you will often find that a cheap product in fact can be expensive in its every day use because of its energy consumption.

Traditional light bulbs are inefficient because much of the energy they consume is converted to heat. Replacing all your incandescent bulbs with compact florescent bulbs will provide the same level at light with less energy consumption. Even though the cost of these bulbs is greater than traditional bulbs, they last up to 20 times longer, resulting in significant overall savings.

Using alternative energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines can greatly reduce the amount of energy needed from traditional sources. The electricity produced by these devices can be fed back into the local power grid if it is not immediately used by the household. This reduces the power bill even further (the power meter runs backwards) while supplying clean power to your community.
