Durability, Stability and Strength for the Lowest Cost Per Cycle

We import Dipterocarpus genus high-density hardwood species from Southeast Asia and similar species from South America that are all time-tested for superior performance in the kiln stick application. Characteristics include durability, stability, and strength for the lowest cost per cycle of all the various kiln stick materials available. The uses of this type of timber are numerous and varied. Sizable volumes were used as mine guides and shrimp boat keels in early times.

Current utilization is for heavy-duty flooring particularly for boxcar floors and truck van and flatbed decks, as well as outdoor decking around the world. This material is chemical and heat and cold resistant. It is produced as both air dried and kiln dried with a maximum moisture content of 15% with an average weight of 65lbs. per cubic foot.
