Zusammenfassung: | A process for preparing a modified wood comprising the steps of a) resin treatment of solid wood having a moisture content of at least 10%; resin solution comprises phenol formaldehyde, phenol urea formaldehyde, lignin, tannin or a mixture thereof, followed by b) a thermal modification step wherein curing and crosslinking of the resin takes place in an oxygen-free environment where the wood is heated at a temperature of from 160°C to 230°C at atmospheric pressure or at a temperature of from 120°C to 230°C at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure; where the wood is first heated to a consistent temperature throughout the cross section of the wood; followed by a rapid cooling to create a temperature gradient whereby the core of the wood has a higher temperature than the surface. The invention gives a modified wood product having improved properties such as higher stability, surface hardness and biological stability. |
