FASCO-BECK comes with the further development of this innovative product!
The System consists of the F44AC CN15W-PS60A pneumatic nailer and beech wood nails with a length of 40 to 60mm in diameters of 4.7 & 5.3mm. 

The most important asset of this system is that there are no traces of corrosion in the wood!

The revolutionary LIGNOLOC Nails  are made from indigenous beech wood, and boast a tensile strength similar to aluminium nails. 

Their mechanical properties allow the nails to be driven into solid structural timber with the FASCO LignoLoc pneumatic nailer, without any pre-drilling, to form an inseparable bond with the timber. 

The special design of the LignoLoc nail tip and the large amount of heat generated by friction when the nail is driven in cause the lignin of the wooden nail to weld with the surrounding wood to form a substance -to- substance bond.

The phenomenon of lignin welding was established in 1998 and has since been verified by the BECK Fastener Group in collaboration with scientists at Hamburg University by means of UV-scanning of the cell structure. 

LignoLoc is the first ever fireable wooden nail for future- oriented use in industrial production and ecological timber construction (among many other applications). 

KEY BENEFITS
Quick and simple processing with FASCO  pneumatic nailers.
Hardly any water absorption, so no expansion.
High holding power thanks to lignin welding. 
Resistant to fungal infestation.
No streaking or bleeding on the wood.
More environmentally friendly than metal fasteners.
Installed significantly than wood dowels.
No pre-drilling.
No wood glue necessary.
Made of indigenous beech wood.
Better fire protection in wood structure than steel or metal fasteners.
No thermal bridges, so better insulation values.
Tensile strength similar to aluminium nails.
Less tool wear when cutting nailed wooden components subsequently. 

USE IN ENVIRONMETALLY FRIENDLY WOOD PROCESSING

Metal free and made of Wood.

The LignoLoc System from BECK opens up countless applications options for you - whether it be indoors or in areas susceptible to corrosion:

-Interior timber cladding
-Timber facades
-Wooden fences
-Wooden furniture
-Sauna building
-Floors: OSB - und real wood flooring
-Working with reclaimed wood
-Boat building 
-Wooden coffins and many more

-LignoLoc wooden nails can be used in various ways in the production of multilayer solid wooden boards. Depending on the manufacturing process, they are used for fixing the layers temporarily or as a replacement for aluminium nails and wooden dowels, or else they give rise to completely new processing methods. This means time-related advantages and ecological benefits for the industry.

 
Exemplary Ecology
From production to recycling, Lignoloc wood nails have outstanding eco-friendly properties. European beech is a renewable raw material with short transport rootes. 
According to a study by the Nova Institute, the production of a Lignoloc wood nail causes only a quarter of the greenhouse gasses compared to a technically comparable steel nail.
