Abstract
The present invention provides a paraffin-reinforced wood and a method for manufacturing the same, and more specifically, a paraffin-reinforced wood in which a natural wood is vacuum impregnated with dissolved paraffin and processed, thereby preventing a penetration of moisture into the wood and increasing durability and corrosion resistance of the wood, such that the reinforced wood is very useful as various deck-wood, agricultural wood posts, water wood posts, etc., and a method and apparatus for manufacturing the same.
Claims18
A paraffin-reinforced wood comprising:
- a natural wood from which moisture, organic acid-containing cellulose, and volatile components are removed by drying and vacuum treatment;
- and
- paraffin impregnated into the natural wood,
- wherein the paraffin is impregnated in an entire internal tissue of the natural wood including pores inside the natural wood.
An apparatus for manufacturing a paraffin-reinforced wood, the apparatus comprising:
- a vacuum chamber;
- a paraffin boiler;
- and a vacuum pump,
- wherein the vacuum chamber has an internal space for vacuum impregnating the wood with paraffin and is connected to the vacuum pump,
- the paraffin boiler is connected with an injection line configured to inject a paraffin solution into the vacuum chamber and a discharge line configured to discharge the paraffin solution remaining in the vacuum chamber after the impregnation, and comprises a paraffin heating means configured to liquefy the paraffin by heating to a molten state, and
- the vacuum pump comprises a structure connected to the vacuum pump so as to be operated by adjusting the vacuum state in the vacuum chamber.
