Since 2007, Viance, LLC has been a global leader in advanced wood treatment technologies, specializing in wood biocides and protection chemicals that enhance the performance and durability of wood products across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The company pioneered DCOI-based preservatives, launching Ecolife® for residential markets in 2008 and developing the first oil-borne DCOI preservative for infrastructure applications like utility poles and railroad ties in 2018.
Viance's comprehensive line of pressure-impregnated wood preservatives and fire-retardant formulations are building-code compliant and suitable for diverse applications including decks, structural framing, marine uses, and railroad infrastructure. As a Platinum Sponsor of the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA), Viance's treated wood solutions are standardized through AWPA's ANSI-accredited peer-review process and listed in the annually updated AWPA Book of Standards.
Viance has been innovating advanced wood protection solutions for over 30 years, developing technologies that improve the performance and durability of wood products.
D-Blaze® was developed as a fire retardant for treated wood for interior use. D-Blaze, a water-based fire retardant is effective at slowing down the spread of fire and smoke. D-Blaze does not off-gas and does not emit VOCs to the air that could cause harm.
Stabilizers and water repellents proved to add benefits that extend the life of wood by resisting the effects of sun and weather extremes. Wood stays straighter, repels water, and checking is significantly reduced.
Arsenic-free preservative Preserve® ACQ was developed as a new wood preservative for residential uses.
Viance received the EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for the active ingredient, DCOI used in Sea-Nine® marine antifoulants, the same active ingredient in Ecolife® stabilized treated wood, UltraPole® NXT wood utility poles and UltraArm NXT wood crossarms.
AuraLast® was developed for Jeld-Wen and is capable of fully treating the wood used for window components to the core unlike other products/processes that only treat the surface of the wood.
Ecolife® was developed as the first non-metallic, residential wood preservative for above ground use.
Ecolife® (EL2) is now a one-pack formulation with the combined stabilizer and water repellent components to make it easier for treaters. The Ecolife One Pack provides an emulsified formulation so that treaters can deliver consistent results for long-term performance.
A fluorescent dye tracer to use with a UV light was developed to determine penetration of colorless, non-metallic preservatives in softwood species.
DesignWood® in-cylinder colorants for treated wood provide color that lasts up to three times longer than other in-cylinder colorants on the market and outlasts cedar and redwood color.
Preserve® CA-C One Pack formulation was developed to make it easier for treaters to treat wood without having to mix separate components. The new formulation improved treatability and enhanced product consistency.
D-Blaze® was the first FRTW product to earn UL's GreenGuard Gold certification for low emissions. This also qualified D-Blaze for the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and the LEED building rating system, making D-Blaze a preferred fire retardant product acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare facilities.
UP-23, an oil-borne wood preservative formulation based on the active ingredient DCOI, was registered with the EPA. UP-23 treated wood marketed as UltraPole® NXT became a game changer for wood utility pole infrastructural applications. DCOI is the first, new, oil-borne industrial wood preservative introduced in decades. UP-23 is intended for the treatment of southern pine wood species in the Southeast and Eastern US.
Viance successfully registered UP-50 with the EPA for the treatment of western species wood poles. UP-50 like its cousin UP-23, is based on the active ingredient DCOI.
EPA approves UltraPole® NXT UP-23 Gen 3 formulation for use in SYP poles.
Viance develops UltraTie with DCOI, an environmentally advanced preservative system for wood railroad crossties.
All Viance wood treatment solutions meet American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) standards for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial use.
Our innovative, non-metallic preservative system delivers the natural beauty of real wood with enhanced weather resistance. Ideal for above-ground applications (6+ inches), Ecolife-treated wood requires no sealing for up to three years after installation, saving time and maintenance costs.
Treated with our proprietary oil-borne DCOI preservative for utility poles and crossarms. This environmentally advanced solution uses less energy, water, and fossil fuels to produce while offering low ecotoxicity, minimal odor, easy climbing, and flexible end-of-life disposal options.
With over 20 years of field-tested performance, the Preserve family (CA-C, CA-B, and Preserve Plus) delivers exceptional decay and termite protection. Preserve Plus adds pressure-treated water repellent protection deep into the wood core.
Interior-rated fire retardant treated wood (FRTW) compliant with building codes. Features UL FR-S listing, extremely low smoke rating, and the industry's first 50-year limited warranty for FRTW products.
Pressure-treated lumber and plywood protected with DOT (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate). TimberSaver 40 combines DOT with advanced termiticide for comprehensive protection against all termite species.
