ADVANCED CHEMISTRY FOR wood performance

Performance Formulation Solutions (PFS) supplies and develops specialized chemical technologies for the lumber and building materials industry. Our solutions are engineered for durability, compliance, and real-world plant conditions.

PFS is an innovative research and development company that specializes in formulating a wide range of high-performance chemistries for wood and engineered wood applications.

From fire retardants and preservatives to water repellents, coatings, moldicides, and custom formulations, our technologies are designed to enhance performance, extend durability, and meet demanding regulatory requirements across a wide range of end-use environments. We do not manufacture wood products.

We develop the chemistry that enables wood to perform to its full capacity.
