Solignum infuses green technology in wood preservation

MANILA, Philippines - Solignum was first introduced in the Philippines over 50 years ago and since then, it has become the most trusted, tried-and- tested wood preservative in the country. Homeowners and homebuilders turn to Solignum to protect homes from the threat of termites, wood boring insects and fungi—all of which destroy homes slowly and silently.

Keeping in mind the need to preserve and protect the environment, Solignum and Jardine Distribution Inc. (JDI) recently launched another product innovation that makes Solignum more environment friendly and convenient to use as it has no irritating smell.

Called Solignum Exterior and Solignum Interior, the most advanced wood preservatives in the market to date, these innovation are both in micro-emulsion formula, which makes the molecules microscopic.  As a result, the active ingredient penetrates through the wood on which they are applied more easily and more deeply. This means even better protection against termites, woodborers and fungi.

The innovative technology behind new Solignum Exterior and Solignum Interior also results in significantly lesser use of more toxic chemicals; instead it uses inert ingredients, which have the least amount of chemicals.

“They are made with ‘green’ technology to ensure minimal impact on the environment. They are designed to provide maximum wood preservation using the least amount of chemical. This makes their use safer in places like resorts, hotels, hospitals, clinics, spas, and establishments for medical tourism,” said  Peachy Tiu, marketing manager of JDI.

With the new, high-tech formulation, Solignum Exterior and Solignum Interior are formulated to last long in providing protection against wood pests.

 “The high-tech and innovative Solignum Exterior and Solignum Interior combine value for money with long-lasting effectiveness. Soiignum is the most trusted wood preservative products in the Philippines for more than 50 years and it will remain so through the next generation. JDI and Solignum will continue their solid partnership in giving unmatched protection for Filipino homes,” Tiu added.

JDI represents a number of local and global companies that provide world-class crop protection and construction chemical products. They are focused on the safe use of these products, providing technical support, and with due consideration of environmental protection.
