While heat treatment (according to ISPM 15) hardly changes the moisture content of the wood, drying, also known as KD treatment (kiln drying), significantly reduces the moisture content.
As a rule, all these terms refer to the same thing – the drying of wood.
Almost every KD treatment meets the requirements of an HT treatment.
After KD treatment, the wood may have a maximum residual moisture content of 20%.
Drying is the only way to reliably protect wooden packaging materials from mould and/or blue stain.
No, KD goods are not subject to any labelling requirements.
Of course, the goods can be stamped with an IPPC stamp upon request.
Our crates are always made from KD material.
KD goods are not automatically stamped with an IPPC stamp.
Chamber-dried wooden packaging materials are lighter than fresh or heat-treated ones.
Drying takes significantly longer than heat treatment.
