Fire retardant cellulose preservative treatment process

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising, in order, the steps of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., spraying said preservative on the cellulose material, impregnating the cellulose material with said preservative, cooling said sprayed cellulose material to a temperature of about 112° F., and subsequently immersing said cooled cellulose material in sodium bicarbonate.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising, in order, the steps of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., immersing the cellulose material in said heated preservative, impregnating the cellulose material with said preservative, cooling said immersed cellulose material to a temperature of about 112° F. and subsequently spraying sodium bicarbonate on said cooled cellulose material.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising, in order, the steps of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., immersing the cellulose material in said heated preservative, impregnating the cellulose material with said preservative, cooling said immersed cellulose material to a temperature of about 112° F. and subsequently immersing said cooled cellulose material in sodium bicarbonate.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising, in order, the steps of drawing a vacuum of approximately 27 inches of mercury on the cellulose material, applying a cellulose preservative to the cellulose material under a pressure of about 250 pounds per square inch, impregnating the cellulose material with said preservative, applying sodium bicarbonate under a pressure of about 250 pounds per square inch to the cellulose material, and drying the cellulose material.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising the steps, in order, of drawing a vacuum of approximately 27 inches of mercury on the cellulose material, applying a cellulose preservative to the cellulose material under a pressure of about 250 pounds per square inch, impregnating the cellulose material with said preservative, and exposing the cellulose material to carbon dioxide gas.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising the steps, in order, of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., impregnating the cellulose material with said heated preservative, cooling said impregnated cellulose material to about 112° F., and subsequently processing said cooled cellulose material with sodium bicarbonate.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising, in order, the steps of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., diffusing within the cellulose material said heated preservative, cooling said diffused cellulose material to about 112° F. and exposing said cooled and diffused cellulose material to carbon dioxide gas.

A method for producing a preserved and fire retardant wood product comprising, in order, the steps of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., diffusing within the wood product said heated preservative, cooling said diffused wood product to about 112° F., applying to said cooled wood product sodium bicarbonate, applying a comminuted protein to said cooled and processed wood product, and pressing said comminuted powder into said processed wood product.

A method for producing a wood product from wood fragments comprising, in order, the steps of processing the wood fragments to establish fire and wood preservative protection therefore, applying a comminuted protein to said processed wood fragments and pressing said comminuted protein and said processed wood fragments together to form the wood product.

A wood product comprising cellulose material, a preservative to protect the wood product from deterioration diffused within the cellulose material, a fire retardant to suppress combustion for the wood product and comminuted protein to bind the cellulose material to form the wood product.

A method for protecting cellulose material comprising the steps, in order, of heating a cellulose preservative to about 180° F., diffusing said heated preservative within the cellulose material, cooling said diffused cellulose material to about 112° F., and processing said cellulose material with sodium bicarbonate, said processing being selected from steps consisting of spraying, immersing, applying vacuum and applying pressure to said diffused and processed cellulose material.

A method for producing a wood product from wood materials comprising the steps of applying a comminuted protein substance to the wood materials, and pressing the wood materials and said protein substance into the wood product.

A wood product comprising wood materials, and a comminuted protein adhesive for binding the wood materials into the wood product.

A cellulose material preservative process comprising the steps, in order, of applying the preservative to the cellulose material at a pressure of not more than about 250 pounds per square inch, reducing the preservative pressure to not less than about 140 pounds per square inch, and increasing, subsequently, the preservative pressure to not more than about 250 pounds per square inch.
