1.Nordic Pine tree

Nordic pine grows in a long latitude and strong environment, with an extremely slow growth period. This makes the physical properties of wood very excellent: strong, dense and less porosity. This slow growth gives it an extremely strong structure and stability, so it will not be easily deformed in the humid environment and will not be broken or cracked.

2.Characteristic.

Generally, Finnish wood is pale yellow to light brown, with a very uniform distribution of color on the surface of the product, and there is almost no obvious color difference on the surface or black spots. Finnish wood processed intoplayground equipment, the surface is very smooth and burr-free, and will not crack. The anti-corrosion treatment on the surface of the product formed a protective layer on the surface of the product. Therefore, the Finnish wood is particularly suitable for outdoor playgrounds exposed to sunlight, rain and temperature changes. When manufacturing other wooden slides and obstacle courses, the Finnish wood is usually coated with a layer of polyurethane varnish on the surface. This not only brightens the natural grain of the wood, but also improves the surface wear resistance and water resistance, and meets the safe high-frequency use ofchildren's playground equipmentI'm sorry, but it seems there is no text provided for translation.
