Improvement of wood product properties by increased hydrophobicity obtained by the use of silicon compounds

Objective

The new implemented Biocide Products Directive and future restriction of toxic preservatives will reduce the overall use of biocides. The proposed project aims to develop silicon based hydrophobisation treatments in improve wood properties in many respect, such as improved dimensional stability, durability against bio-organisms, applicability of various components to fit-to-purpose end-uses. These treated and hydrophobic components will be safe to handle, environmentally acceptable and are not producing hazardous waste. The expected results are better understanding of preventing mechanisms and promotion of the use of hydrophobisited European grown softwood instead of tropical hardwoods for value-added markets.
