Advantages of Heat Treatment
Heat treatment, however, requires heat to produce steam. With no adverse health effects or environmental impacts. Instead of using chemicals to sterilize pallets or packaging, heat treatment heats the lumber for at least 30 minutes to reach 132.8 core temperature degrees Fahrenheit. This eliminates pests and pathogens without the risk of chemical treatment fumigation.
