jatkokylläpidetyn

Jatkokylläpidetyn is a Finnish term referring to wood that has undergone further impregnation treatment. This process is typically applied to wood that has already received an initial preservation treatment, such as pressure impregnation. The purpose of the secondary treatment, or jatkokylläpidetyn, is to enhance the wood's resistance to decay, fungi, and insects, particularly in demanding conditions or for specific applications.

The additional impregnation often involves different types of chemicals or a higher concentration of the preserving agents compared to the initial treatment. This can be achieved through various methods, including vacuum pressure impregnation, dipping, or brushing. The specific chemicals and application methods are chosen based on the intended use of the wood, its exposure to moisture, and the desired lifespan.

Jatkokylläpidetyn wood is commonly used in outdoor construction, such as for terraces, fences, utility poles, and playground equipment. It is also utilized in marine applications and in areas with high humidity or pest prevalence. The enhanced protection provided by this secondary treatment aims to extend the service life of the timber significantly, reducing the need for premature replacement and maintenance. The term emphasizes a higher level of wood preservation than standard treatments.
