Heat treatment is one of the services we provide to our customers. It is a process that involves the use of heating to extreme temperatures to achieve the desired result of hardening the material.

The ISPM 15 standard is performed by heating the wood packaging material in a schedule that attains a minimum core temperature of 56° C (133° F) for at least 30 minutes.

Your heat-treated wood products will be clearly marked with the “HT” stamp required for international export under ISPM 15 regulations, and you will receive the appropriate documentation to ship or sell your products.
