Properties :

Down to its depth of penetration, the product removes the nutrients from the wood which are sought out by harmful insects. It simultaneously makes the wood non-identifiable to the latter, in such a way that following the treatment, the insects can no longer recognise the wood as a source of food. By a physical process of wood mineralisation or hardening, Wood Bliss® High-C protects wood against harmful parasites. This has no harmful effect on living organisms. Does not contain any biocides or fungicides. The combination of Wood Bliss® and Wood Bliss® High-C is a flame-retardant treatment for timber in accordance with the standard EN 13501.

Type of finishing :

After treatment, a fine whitish deposit may appear. This is a sign that the product is effective

(crystallisation). To improve the finish of visible wood, remove the crystalline layer.

After a few months, the wood colour will lighten completely. Resinous woods will remain

very light in colour.

Health and environmental benefits :

Wood Bliss® High-C is a natural, non-toxic treatment for damaged wood. It contains no toxicologically dubious components (as confirmed by the engineering firm Zörner and the Lafu laboratory: chemical and microbiological analysis working for independent, neutral companies).

Galtane's Wood Bliss® High-C ensures a high level of protection for human and animal health and the environment (see composition of Wood Bliss®). With Wood Bliss®, Galtane is helping to combat the destruction of ecosystems. For over 35 years of development, we have believed that a healthy ecosystem serves as a link between humans and the economy. We are fighting against the destruction of animal and plant species. 

To create healthy atmospheres in buildings, nature works with us and we work with it. We support regenerative economic models.

Additional details

Good to know

Warning : Due to its high alkalinity,acidic woods (e.g.oak, chestnut, Douglasfir, etc.) maydis colour slightly or significantly. Test on a small area first !

For colourless treatment (parquet flooring, furniture, frames,etc.) please see HM16 ref.4010.

Which product to choose between HM16®, Wood Bliss® and Wood Bliss® High-C?

The question to ask is: ‘Is it important to retain the colour of the wood?’

If so, then opt for HM16®. HM16® is a preventive and curative solution targeting only

woodworm. Woodworm are xylophagous or wood-boring insects that make flight holes of

approx. 1 mm in diameter. Xylophagous or wood-boring insects are often found in

furniture and flooring. HM16® does not discolour the wood.

If not, then opt for Wood Bliss®. Wood Bliss® offers a full range of applications.

In case of a repeat infestation or treatment against house longhorn beetle, inject Wood

Bliss® High-C into the wood.

In the case of dry rot, a wood-destroying fungi, finish the treatment with a coat of Wood

Bliss® High-C. This includes the new joists installed into the brickwork. Particular

attention must be paid to end-grained wood: the cut ends.

Preparing the substrate :

As soon as you acquire the product, you are deemed suitably qualified to use the said

product.

Depending on the type of item to be treated, please check that the product is suitable for

the intended use.

The items of wood (planed or not) must be in healthy condition: absorbant, clean, dry, not

greasy, brushed and dusted; remove any bark, friable and woodworm damaged parts, water-

repellant substances and sawdust which would prevent Wood Bliss® High-C from

penetrating into the wood.

Wear gloves and eye protection. Protect metallic and glazed surfaces (windows, spectacles,

etc.), natural stone, aluminium, lacquered surfaces, flooring, etc. In case of splashes,

immediately rinse with plenty of water. Risk of irreversible stains. These marks can

nevertheless be removed from glass by cleaning it with a wet sponge and a clay stone

cleaner. Repeat the process, if necessary.

How to apply :

Shake the product before and during use. Apply the product with a brush or roller at 12 hr

intervals, and if necessary, using a spray gun (pressure of 50-60 bar). Do not apply below

5 °C. Do not stick the treated pieces of wood to each other.

Impregnate all the wood surfaces, including the cut ends (no planing after treatment).

Maintenance tips for cleaning :

Maintenance:

- Mineralized wood does not require any specific maintenance to maintain its protection.

- In the event of wear and tear (e.g. cracks, blows to the wood, mechanical erosion, prolonged exposure to aggressive agents), a check and additional surface application may be considered.

Frequently asked questions

Find out more

What are wood insects?

Xylophagous or wood-boring insects find life-sustaining nutrients in wood by degrading cellulose, lignin or starch. At

this stage, the insect is only a xylophagous or wood-boring larva. This larva will live in the wood for a period of 1-5

years, even up to 10 years. It then metamorphoses into an adult insect, emerges from the wood through flight holes

and no longer nourishes itself, but instead reproduces by laying eggs (40-100) in the fissures of the wood. The adult

insect only lives approx. 20 days.

The majority of insects found in timber belong to the Coleoptera order (woodworm, house longhorn beetles) or

Isoptera order (termites). In the wood, the house longhorn beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus) forms flight holes of approx.

0.5 cm, whereas the woodworm forms flight holes of 1-2 mm.

What are wood fungi?

Wood infested with Serpula lacrymans, commonly referred as a lignivorous fungus or dry rot, presents a major risk of

structural damage. This type of fungus is one of the most destructive in terms of wood decomposition in buildings.

Dry rot, a wood-destroying fungus, lives on water, minerals, and organic matter like wood. Dry rot (Serpula lacrymans)

can be found on damp wood and it acidifies it. Through an enzymatic process, dry rot will decompose the wood for

nourishment.
