2. Chromated copper arsenate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromated_copper_arsenate

   The EPA recommends wearing gloves when handling CCA-treated wood, wearing goggles and masks when sawing or sanding it, and never burning it. [5] CCA-treated wood should not be used where it may come in contact with food, such as in kitchen tops, cutting boards, or beehives. It should not be exposed to chemicals such as bleaches, acids, soda ...

3. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

   Apart from structural wood preservation measures, there are a number of different chemical preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatment, lumber treatment or pressure treatment) that can extend the life of wood, timber, and their associated products, including engineered wood. These generally increase the durability and resistance ...

4. Plywood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

   Other types of plywoods include fire-retardant, moisture-resistant, wire mesh, sign-grade, and pressure-treated. However, the plywood may be treated with various chemicals to improve the plywood's fireproofing. Each of these products is designed to fill a need in industry. Baltic Birch plywood is a product of an area around the Baltic Sea.

5. Alkaline copper quaternary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_copper_quaternary

   The copper in ACQ treated wood accelerates corrosion of galvanized steel fasteners (such as nails and screws) 10 times or more in comparison with CCA-treated wood. Stainless steel (AISI 316) is not affected. [7] Aluminium and Galvalum fasteners should be avoided. [8] One should use fasteners made of hot-dipped galvanized steel, copper, or ...

6. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

   Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...

7. Acetylated wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylated_wood

   Acetylated wood is a type of modified wood that is produced through a chemical modification process. [1] It produced from a chemical reaction (named as acetylation), involving acetic anhydride and a modification process to make wood highly resistant to biological attacks by fungi and wood-boring insects and durable to environmental conditions.

9. Ammonia fuming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_fuming

   Ammonia fuming is a wood finishing process that darkens wood and brings out the grain pattern. It consists of exposing the wood to fumes from a strong aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide which reacts with the tannins in the wood. The process works best on white oak because of the high tannin content of this wood.
