Wood products that are exposed to direct weathering can develop internal rot over their lifetime. To detect this, regular inspections are carried out (depending on the area of application), usually with a drill resistance meter. If the inspection reveals that the affected wood product still has sufficient residual wall thickness to meet safety requirements, treatment with InsideFume^® can stop the spread of rot and avoid costly replacement of the product.

InsideFume^® has been used successfully for several years for the after-treatment of wooden utility poles and is state of the art at most energy suppliers and telecommunications companies. InsideFume^® has recently begun supporting another industry with the aftercare of wooden poles in high ropes courses, as replacing infested poles is also extremely costly in this sector. Thanks to its high effectiveness, railroad ties in a wide variety of track systems are also being sustainably protected and premature replacement is being avoided.
