HOW PETRIFY WOOD TREATMENT WORKS
PETRIFY is a solvent based formulation. Solvents immediately displace free water when applied to wood. Silicones are water scavengers that penetrate the wood fibers and trigger the release of the internal water. The water is replaced with the cedar oil gel and Silica. This wood treatment protects the wood from the future uptake of water (rain, snow, lawn sprinklers,etc). The cedar oil is encapsulated in the wood and provides perpetual protection from insect and fungal organism attack.
The wood is water resistant from the inside out. Wood fiber without moisture and deposits of silicon represent the early stages of petrified wood. It further performs as a termiticide and a fungicide.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
Onetime. Lifetime. Treatment. The ultimate in wood preservation. This dynamic product triggers the early stages of wood petrification. PETRIFY is a low viscosity penetrant, not a coating. THE ABSENCE OF WATER IS THE ABSENCE OF ISSUES. Prior to treatment with PETRIFY, wood contains two types of water; free water that is harbored in the fiber structure of the wood and bound water which is harbored in the cellular/molecular structure of the wood. PETRIFY is a non-toxic, solvent based formulation that displaces all water when applied to wood. It modifies the molecular make up of the wood, leaving it water, insect, mold and decay resistant from the inside out. Petrify Cedarshield is the wood treatment chosen by ABC Extreme Home Makover!
