Technical expertise

Problem solvers in the market

CUTEK® began as a problem solver in the market. We understood that wood is beautiful, however because it is a natural resource, it can have some inherent problems when using it to create lasting structures. The original CUTEK® formula was created to displace water from wood, giving it increased dimensional stability. We have since evolved to create a range of CUTEK® formulas that are tailored to the varying conditions found in different international climates and markets.

CUTEK® is forever anticipating change and need. If someone wants to use wood in a unique way, or in a unique setting, we want to work alongside them, troubleshooting the problem towards an inspired solution.

We have always been, and always will be, champions for the use of wood in the building industry. If you want to use wood, we will help you find a way.

Chemical Lab innovation

We care about your project, no matter how big or small. If your project uses wood, we want to be a part of it.

We are forever dreaming about different ways that wood can be used in the building industry and then imagining wood protection technologies that can help make those dreams a reality. We have an extensive Research and Development program (based in Queensland, Australia), that ensures our wood protection technology is always progressive and insightful, using the best resources and know-how available, to make wood protection products that ACTUALLY WORK.

When new raw materials become available, we test them out to see what they can do. We are interested in new and exciting ways to protect wood, and we want to make sure that our products are always relevant, exceptional and in keeping with the latest in scientific advancement.
