The Jakcure® process
The Jakcure process is the unique preservative process that penetrates really deap through the outer sapwood into the heartwood. This deep penetration gives lasting protection which allows a 25 year guarantee on Jakcured timber.
Jakcure will not soil hands or clothing and is harmless to man, animals and plant life. It is non-inflammable and non-corrosive. Has no unpleasant odour. Does not reduce the strength or make the timber brittle. Jakcure exceeds the requirements of BS EN 599-1 and BS 8417 by 50%. Gives lasting protection above and below ground against all wood-boring pests and all forms of wet and dry rot.
First, all softwood is tested for moisture content, because excess moisture prevents absorption of the preservative. All timber with more than 30% moisture content is kiln dried. This drying process is essential to ensure deep penetration, the unique benefit of Jakcure. The preservative is then forced by vacuum/pressure through the outside sapwood deep into the heartwood, where it forms an insoluble compound giving permanent protection against rot and insect attack. At least 50% more preservative is pumped into the timber than is required by British and European standards.
