Abstract
The invention relates to treating wood with a wood preservative by applying in one or more recesses made in the wood solid material together with the wood preservative in such a way that the solid material fills up the recesses at least partly, said solid material having a lower water content than the wood treated and exerts a reinforcing effect upon this wood, when it absorbs water and in result expands and/or when a permanent pressure is exerted upon it. Furthermore, the invention relates to products to be used for this treatment, with which by one single act the filling-up of a recess in the wood to be treated and the closing thereof can be effected.
Claims16
A process for treating wood having at least one recess, comprising inserting a wood preservative and a solid material having a lower water content than the wood into at least one recess in the wood so as to at least partially fill and outwardly close the at least one recess, whereby the solid material exerts a reinforcing effect on the wood when water is absorbed by the solid material.
A process according to any one of cliams 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein the wood preservative and solid material are encapsulated in a smashable material and wherein the process further comprises smashing the capsule after insertion of the capsule into the at least one recess.
A product for the treatment of wood comprising an absorbent material having a wood preservative impregnated portion and a wood preservative non-impregnated portion and wherein the wood preservative impregnated portion is separated from the non-impregnated portion by means of a compressible sealing disc.
A product consisting of a capsule of smashable material having at least a wood preservative and a solid material therein.
