Whether in the snowy mountains of Colorado, the rainforests of Chile, the humid subtropics of Asia, or the outback deserts of Australia, CUTEK® powerfully protects wood's natural beauty and extends its service life.
CUTEK® has pioneered the development of specialty pre-coater/in-plant manufacturer products that are cost-effective and machine/user-friendly for over 35 years. We understand machines and coatings and work extensively with pre-oil machine manufacturers and lumber producers to bring added value to your wood products. Work with a company that cares about your bottom line and is highly technical in this field.
Operator and Machine Friendly
CUTEK® oils are fast and easy to use in pre-oiling machines. They are a very low-maintenance machine solution with fast daily start-up and shutdown—there is no need to clean after every run, and cleaning, if required, is simple and easy.
Knowledgeable Staff with Industry Experience
CUTEK® employs staff with expert technical knowledge of the pre-coating and lumber industries and will help ensure your pre-oiling operation is profitable and efficient.
Cost-Effective and Time-Efficient
Wood freshly coated with CUTEK® oils can be installed immediately or wet-stacked for later use, saving time and expensive labor by skipping the need for stickers. CUTEK® oils can also obtain incredibly high coverage rates without compromising efficacy, leading to a lower cost per linear foot compared to many other applications on the market.
CUTEK® is designed to work with all wood and is an excellent match for Western Red and Yellow Cedar. Adding moisture and UV protection to Cedar’s already durable characteristics is a winning combination.
The CUTEK® wood protection system is designed to highlight the natural beauty of wood and make it easy to properly prepare and confidently protect wood in an exterior environment
Product Line

Our protect products increase dimensional stability and long-term protection while enhancing wood’s natural beauty, even in extreme environments.
CUTEK® Extreme: A high-performance wood oil offers powerful stabilizing protection while enhancing wood’s natural beauty. Unlike traditional wood coatings, CUTEK Extreme penetrates deeply into the wood to protect it from the inside out, displacing water for long-term dimensional stability, significantly reducing warping and splitting, and extending the wood’s service life. Importantly, CUTEK Extreme, applied as a clear oil without UV protection, does not form a surface film, ensuring it will not peel or flake. It will let the wood naturally fade and silver over time, preserving its original beauty.
CUTEK® Colortone: Transparent matte finish additive that provides outstanding UV protection. Choose from 18 Colors specifically designed to enhance the natural beauty and color of the wood species or change the color of the wood species.
