The present disclosure describes a treated cellulosic material comprising: a cellulosic material having a porous structure defining a plurality of pores, at least a portion of the pores containing a treating agent comprising: a polymer comprising an olefin-carboxylic acid copolymer; and a modifying agent comprising a hydrophobic amine.

A bar element as a construction element includes strips preferably produced from bamboo and is hollow at least in certain regions. The hollow interior is formed at least in certain sections as a hollow fillet achieved by a plastic and/or resin introduced into the bar elements, using a shaped body movable through the interior. Producing bar elements from interconnected strips ensures that although produced from a natural raw material, the bar elements have a reproducible outer cross section. Using a shaped body movable through the interior to produce the inner cross section also ensures a defined inner cross section of the bar elements, with the result that in turn connections between a plurality of bar elements that are defined by suitable connection elements can be formed. In this way, the bar elements make it possible to produce lattice works, grid constructions, frameworks or other desired structures and/or three-dimensional bodies.

An immersion treatment system for treating items, comprising a shipping container, a treatment tank insertable in the shipping container and defining a treatment chamber, an item-receiving receptacle displaceable between a loading/unloading configuration where the item-receiving receptacle extends outside the treatment chamber and a treatment configuration where the item-receiving receptacle is positioned in the treatment chamber, and a lift at least partially insertable in the shipping container and including a receptacle connector assembly. The treatment chamber is being adapted to receive a treatment solution. The item-receiving receptacle is being engageable with the receptacle connector assembly and translatable between the loading/unloading configuration and the treatment configuration. A method for treating items by immersion is also described.

Methods of sealing porous panel products and finishing the sealed porous panel products are described. The methods comprise applying to a porous panel product at least one UV curable coating and curing by UV light the at least one UV curable coating to 50% to 100% cure to produce a sealed porous panel product. The methods further modifying the surface of the sealed porous panel product, for example by etching or embossing, after which the sealed porous panel product may be stained. Due to the claimed process of sealing the porous panel product, any strain may be used, such as water-based or solvent-based stains.

A method of producing a combination structural member and surface coating or covering, and the product so produced. The surface covering is composed of at least two layersan outer layer of vibration oriented polymer granules adhesively bonded together at a density that allows the layer to be highly porous to liquid and such that it presents a non-planar upper surface for enhanced traction, and a bonding/sealing inner layer formed of an aliphatic urethane bonding agentthe bonding/sealing agent producing a liquid impermeable barrier on the structural member. The bonding/sealing layer is applied as an uncured inner layer on the structural member and the polymer granules are then applied onto the bonding/sealing layer.

The present disclosure relates to a wood article and a process for preparing the wood article. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a wood article comprising a wood substrate comprising acidic substances and having at least one major surface; an adhesion promoting layer directly applied on the major surface of the wood substrate; and a Michael Addition curing coating applied on the adhesion promoting layer, wherein the adhesion promoting layer is formed by a composition comprising a functional silane comprising amino and/or imino functional groups; and wherein the Michael Addition curing coating is formed from a two-component curable coating composition.

A wet coating composition useful for coating a cellulosic fiber-based substrate is provided. The composition includes two aqueous emulsions. The first emulsion includes an oxidized paraffin/polyethylene wax and the second emulsion includes an ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer wax, ethylene/acrylic amide copolymer wax, ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylic amide copolymer wax or a mixture thereof. The oxidized paraffin/polyethylene wax has a surface energy less than or equal to 25 mN/m being substantially dispersive energy. The wet coating composition when dried forms a coating having a surface energy ranging from 20 to 60 mN/m being the sum of dispersive and polar energies. A process for treating a cellulosic fiber-based substrate with the wet coating composition, a substrate coated and articles including the coated substrate are also described. The process involves a heating step to allow migration of the coating towards a core of the cellulosic fiber-based substrate.
