Abatron, Inc. manufactures epoxies for the restoration of wood, concrete, stone, windows, load-bearing walls, columns, dikes, abutments, architectural and other structures. Liquid Wood and WoodEpox have been used to restore various structures and sites across the U.S., including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Building, Washington D.C.; Harvard Law Library, Cambridge, Massachusetts; and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Atlanta, Georgia.
Liquid Wood penetrates deteriorated wood and hardens into a water
resistant, distortion free, high strength mass. The product can
regenerate rotted windowsills, frames, structural and decorative
parts, furniture, boats, columns and floors. It is also a primer
and surface consolidant on rotted and porous surfaces for
subsequent applications of WoodEpox, paints and glues.
WoodEpox is a lightweight structural adhesive putty and wood
replacement compound. It can fill cracks, holes and voids of any
size and replace or add missing or new sections of windows
frames, furniture, sculptures, structural and decorative
components indoors and outdoors. When the shaped WoodEpox is
applied to the intended surface it bonds permanently as it
hardens. It can be sawed, nailed, sanded and machined like wood.
The company aims to find a local partner, ideally a company with experience in the paint, sealant or restoration market, to stock and sell Liquid Wood and WoodEpox on its behalf. Both products are already being sold direct to UK customers.
