Abstract
This disclosure relates to a process for manufacturing a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article. The process comprises providing an engineered wood component treated by impregnation with a metal silicate solution, exposing the metal-silicate treated engineered wood component to an adhesive, and bonding multiple units of the metal-silicate treated engineered wood via the adhesive to form a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article. This disclosure also relates to a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article prepared by the processes described herein.
Claims31
A process to manufacture a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article, comprising:
- providing an engineered wood component treated by impregnation with a metal silicate solution,
- exposing the metal-silicate treated engineered wood component to an adhesive, and bonding multiple units of the metal-silicate treated engineered wood component via the adhesive to form a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article.

A process to retrofit an engineered wood manufacturing line to manufacture a flame-retardant, glued engineered wood article, comprising:
- providing an engineered wood manufacturing line that comprises the operation of the steps of:
- forming an engineered wood component,
- optionally drying the engineered wood component,
- exposing the engineered wood component to an adhesive, and bonding multiple units of the engineered wood component via the adhesive;
- and
- incorporating into the engineered wood manufacturing line, prior to the step of exposing the engineered wood component to an adhesive, a step of treating the engineered wood component by impregnation with a metal silicate solution.
