Abstract
There is herein described a method for treating lignocellulosic material and lignocellulosic material formed from such a method. More particularly, there is described a method for treating lignocellulosic material which introduces organic material into the lignocellulosic material and which produces a modified lignocellulosic material which has increased strength and is highly durable.

1-27. (canceled)
A method for providing a hardened lignocellulosic material product, said method comprising:
- providing a lignocellulosic material product;
- impregnating the lignocellulosic material product with an aqueous organic-based formulation;
- providing a pressurized environment for the lignocellulosic material product impregnated with the aqueous organic based formulation;
- heating the lignocellulosic material product with the impregnated organic based formulation to thereby cure organic material within the lignocellulosic material product;
- wherein the cured organic material within the lignocellulosic material product increases the strength of the lignocellulosic material product and provides a hardened lignocellulosic material product.
