DRYING OF SOFT- AND HARDWOODS IN OIL UNDER VACUUM
Plant oils have significantly higher thermal conductivity than air, thus conducting heat more effectively to the surface and into wood. Although known for long time, drying in oil under vacuum …
FUNGAL DECAY RESISTANCE AND LEACHABILITY OF RAPESEED OIL BASED EMULSION-TREATED WOOD
Vacuum dried Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) roundwood and sapwood blocks were impregnated with different emulsions based on rapeseed oil with boron compounds and rapeseed oil with Tanalith E. The impregnation …
Wood durability enhancement by acetylation and impregnation with vegetable oil
Wood is used as construction material because it’s strength and aesthetical properties from time immemorial. The shortages in wood application are bio-deterioration and swelling or shrinkage in variable humidity conditions. …
Wood modification efficiency evaluation with cyclic hydrothermal treatment
The decrease of water sorption is one of objectives of wood acetylation (Ac) with acetic anhydride (AA). The water absorption in acetylated wood might be decreased with rapeseed (Brassica napus) …
