Our Heat Treatment Process

Debarking

The bark is removed from the wood to eliminate potential contaminants and prevent pest infestation.

Heat Treating

The wood is heated in a controlled kiln until it reaches a core temperature of at least 132.8°F (56°C) for a minimum of 30 minutes, effectively sterilizing the material.

Marking & Certification

Each heat-treated product is stamped with our unique ISPM-15 compliance mark, which includes our registered distributor code, certifying it for international shipment.
