Erin Timber OÜ only uses WEI-type C creosote which is the best quality available on the European market. WEI-type C creosote oil is distilled to a higher temperature than the more viscous type-B oil. Approximately 90kg/m3 of oil is then vacuum and pressure impregnated to a depth of 15mm. This will vary with sap content.

The result is:

• greater penetration of oil
• greater retention
• reduced residues
• a reduction in odour

A note on heartwood. Heartwood is the red centre of a post (it is clearly visible in the above photo). It will vary in size. Heartwood is exceptionally difficult to impregnate with chemicals as the cells are resistant to fluid flow. However heartwood will not decay or lose strength as it’s cells contain very little “food” for fungal attack. It is the outer sapwood that should always be fully impregnated to ensure a long lasting ground-contact post.
