Glass Beads for Shot Peening and Cleaning of Surfaces
For long time, wood processing has not benefited from modern blasting techniques with abrasive materials. However, at the present moment, glass beads are successfully used for polishing and finishing surfaces in wood industry. In Romania, important companies that act on the abrasives market have understood the importance and the efficiency of glass beads in polishing wood surfaces, and therefore, made available a wide range of glass beads for sale. Whether we are talking about freshly processed wood, recovered wood (which is becoming more and more appreciated) or the maintenance of machinery and equipment, the solutions that involve glass beads blasting present a number of major advantages.

This is the time for timber
If the 17th century was the age of stone, the 18th was the peak of brick building, and the 20th was built on concrete, then the 21st century, according to Alex de Rijke, should mark "the time for timber". The director of London-based architecture firm dRMM, believes that products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) - a wood panel product made from gluing layers of solid-sawn lumber together - are on course to disrupt the building industry forever.

How wonderdful the petrified wood can be
Glen Rose, Texas is a place where the prehistoric and the modern are visibly intertwined. One hundred and fifteen million years ago, the area was a lush, marshy expanse teeming with dinosaurs. Trees were also plentiful - and many of them were gradually turned into a type of fossil known as petrified wood. Resourceful citizens in Glen Rose also turned the wood into a major export. After all, there`s always been a demand for it.

Nanowood - a new type of insulator
The research lab behind the creation of see-through wood has developed a new type of material that could be used as a cheaper, stronger and more environmentally friendly insulator. They`re calling it nanowood and it insulates better than Styrofoam and silica aerogels. To make the material, the researchers took wood and stripped away two of its natural components - lignin, which makes it brown and rigid, and hemicellulose.

Good prediction on Biomass
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has released the March edition of its Short-Term Energy Outlook, predicting that non-hydropower renewables will provide 10 percent of U.S. electricity generation in 2018 and nearly 11 percent in 2019, up from less than 10 percent in 2017. Wood biomass is expected to be used to generate 120,000 MWh per day of electricity this year, increasing to 121,000 MWh per day next year.

The charm of painted wood floors
When it comes to staying on budget in a renovation, one`s mind doesn`t exactly leap to paint. Painted wood floors are shockingly cost-effective, considering how positively luxe and unexpected they can look. All the charm of the original hardwood is maintained, but with a totally fresh, modern spin. Paint quality matters when it comes to painted wood floors.

Balsa wood - the balance between softness and sturdiness
Striking just the right balance between softness and sturdiness, balsa wood is a choice material for crafting anything from model airplanes to full-size wind turbine blades. Scientists in the United States and China have opened up a new realm of possibilities for balsa by hijacking its natural structure with chemical and physical treatments to transform it into a "wood carbon sponge" capable of enduring repeated compression and other extreme mechanical conditions.

Press Release: The most significat innovations in forest technology over the past 10 years
Traction aid winches constitute one of the most significant innovations in forest technology over the last ten years. As a valuable tool used for forest work on slopes, they are indispensable for the protection of the soils and in terms of sustainability and under economic aspects. For companies from the German-speaking area, the winches have developed to become a real export hit. Traction aid winches will therefore make a subject of discussion at INTERFORST in Munich from July 18 to 22, 2018, both at the exhibitors` booths and within the framework of the Special Show of the Board of Trustees for Forestry Work and Technology.

US softwood lumber demand will reach record-hights by 2030
US consumption of softwood lumber is likely to reach record-highs by 2030, resulting in export opportunities for sawmills in Europe and Latin America, according to a new study from ForestEdge and Wood Resources International. Higher lumber demand from all end-use sectors in the US in the coming years will result in continued expansion of sawmill capacity in the US South and increased imports from overseas, while Western Canada will reduce its shipments to the US market. A newly released study forecasts that US softwood lumber demand will grow at an annual rate of 2.3% through 2030, which will be higher than the reports projection of real GDP.

Future Suppliers of Softwood Lumber to the US Market
A Multi-Client Study by ForestEdge LLC and Wood Resources International LLC presented the supply and demand outlook 2017-2030. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how future US demand for softwood lumber will be met as the supply dynamics of North America change and off-shore supply and production economics evolve over the next decade. The United States is the world`s largest consumer and importer of softwood lumber and it is forecasted that wood consumption will increase in the future.
