Strong Track Record in Organic Active Ingredients Janssen Preservation & Material Protection research and development in wood preservation began over 25 years ago. We are known worldwide for the successful introduction of azoles and insect growth regulators ( IGR s ) in the wood preservation industry. Our compounds are also co-formulated with other organic active ingredients or with metal compounds. These combinations allow us to minimize the levels of active ingredients in the treatment products, by providing a wider spectrum of coverage against wood attacking organisms. This low retention approach helps to ensure competitiveness and additional reduction of the potential environmental impact of the treatments. Extensive knowledge in formulation chemistry and versatile production facilities enable us to supply our actives in forms optimised for their incorporation in solvent or water based treatment products. A wide range of wood preservatives in the worldwide market today are formulated based on our portfolio.
