ABSTRACT:
A method for treating wood to enhance its properties comprising: contacting the wood to be treated with sufficient water dilutable resin in a water miscible solvent and water to deposit said resin in the cell walls of the wood fibers, said resin containing molecules of a size which can enter the free space in said cell walls, and converting the resin in said cell walls to a water insoluble form. The treatment provides wood of improved dimensional stability and resistance to checking on exposure to water. Further improvements in the wood properties can be obtained by depositing additives such as preservatives or fire retardants in the cell walls of the wood and fixing the additives therein with the insolubilized resin.
