Techniques and products are described for coloring acetylated wood products. An acetylated wood product can be impregnated by a coloring medium within a chamber and the colorant or colorants contained within the coloring medium can be fixed to the acetylated wood product by the application of heat or by application of radio frequency radiation to color any external surface or interior region of the acetylated wood product which has been impregnated by the coloring medium.

A kit of parts is provided, comprising: in one part a) a water-borne stain; and, in another part b) a water-immiscible organic solvent-borne stain, wherein said water-borne stain is essentially free of resin and further contains at least one water-miscible organic solvent. Additionally, a method of coloring a wooden substrate is described, comprising the steps of: a) applying a water-borne stain to a surface of the wooden substrate, wherein the water-borne stain is essentially free of resin and comprises at least one water-miscible organic solvent; and thereafter b) applying a water-immiscible organic solvent-borne stain to said surface.

The invention is a process including the steps of manufacturing of compreg laminated wood and transforming the wood thus obtained to ornamental and utility products, including steps of quality checking, veneer selection, Impregnation of veneer with solution of dye and thermosetting resin, drying in kiln, glue spreading followed by bunching, followed by cooling resulting in creation of slab, followed by trimming & cutting of slabs into strips of small sizes, shaping drawing on the sheet as per the profile required, shaping and profiling by CNC Router Machines, grinding and shaping by expert craftsman to bring out the color patterns, end rounding for smooth edges, grinding using various grits of emery wheels for surface finish, polishing/buffing for mirror like surface finish.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating wood to give it a desirable color that is durable over time, while at the same time rendering the wood resistant to fungal decay and insect attack. The wood may be pressure treated in a two-step process whereby the wood is first treated with a wood preservation composition, and then treated with a composition comprising pigments, or vice versa. Alternatively, the wood may be simultaneously treated with a composition comprising a wood preservative and a composition comprising pigments.

A building panel, including a core, a sublayer arranged above the core, where the sublayer includes at least one paper sheet. The building panel further includes a wood veneer layer arranged above the sublayer. The wood veneer layer includes at least one open structure. The building panel has a bevel arranged at least partly along at least one side portion. A first section of the sublayer is at least partly exposed in said bevel, where a second section of the sublayer is at least partly exposed in said at least one open structure of the wood veneer layer, and where the colour of said first section differs from the colour of said second section.

A process utilizes electron beam generated ionizing radiation or low energy electron irradiation to effect cure of polymerizable stain compositions applied to wood planking. The electron beam ionization process generates sufficient energy to break bonds and generate new cross-links within the polymeric stain composition thus bonding the stain strongly within the pores and surface of the wood planks further creating a durable treatment. The electron beam ionization process simplifies the curing process by eliminating or reducing the need for expensive photoinitiators. Pre-stained wood planking is suitable for exterior decking materials and building panels requiring a combination of color affected and durable finishes, thereby eliminating the need for field installation of pretreatments, stains, coatings and the like. These electron beam cured wood planks take on an assortment of appearances including clear, natural, translucent, and solid hues.
