Oil and water: from the most natural to the most technological choice

Borma Wachs is always committed to developing products for natural wood treatment that respect the well-being of workers. The emissions of volatile substances during the application of some treatments can be very harmful: it is imperative to work in well-ventilated environments to allow the paints to dry earlier and to minimize the amount of inhaled emissions.
In many cases, optimal ventilation is not possible, and this is where Borma Wachs products for natural wood treatment can make a real difference: the formulation of these products makes them much preferable to traditional treatments , thanks to the targeted research conducted by Borma Wachs over the years. Why work with products that are harmful to health and the environment when Borma Wachs has thought about safer and more ecological alternatives?

Ecology: how to color a piece of furniture with a natural wood treatmentWood treatment products can be harmful to health not only during application, but also after drying. There are cases in which we must make sure that the wooden surfaces we treat are perfectly safe for a long time, for example those that are most in contact with animals, children, fragile or sensitive people. Borma Wachs is committed to the development of specific products for the natural treatment of wood, ensuring safety from application to drying and beyond.
