Method of treating wood products to improve fire resistance thereof. The method comprises treating wet wood objects with compositions comprising an aqueous solution of bisphosphonate selected from 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid, an alkanol amine, and optionally an alkaline agent, the composition having a pH in the range of 4.0 to 7.0 to impregnate the object with the compositions, and subjecting the object so obtained to drying to achieve aspiration of the pits of the wood object. The method can be used for protecting wood not only against fire but also against mould, rot, blue stain, insect such as termite attacks on wood, dimensional changes, or a combination thereof due to environmental influence.

A synergistic aqueous wood preservative composition comprising a copper compound and penflufen. The copper compounds of the compositions of the invention may be soluble, partially solubilized or micronized particles. The penflufen of the compositions of the invention may be solubilized, emulsified or particulate. The wood preservative compositions of the present invention are surprisingly provided as stable dispersions and confer surprising and unexpected resistance to treated wood and wood products.

A cellulosic material is treated by providing a cellulosic material such as wood or a wood composite, which is impregnated with an aqueous dispersion comprising a polymer, the polymer comprising an olefin-carboxylic acid copolymer. The cellulosic material is then impregnated with a modifying agent, the modifying agent comprising a polyamine having greater than or equal to 2 amine groups. The modifying agent at least partially crosslinks the polymer within the cellulosic material.

A process for producing nano veneers generally involving: placing a veneer to be treated in a vacuum vessel; adding a nano carbon powder and nano silicon dioxide suspension in the vacuum vessel; reducing the pressure in the vessel over a first period of time; increasing the pressure in the vessel; letting the contents of the vessel rest over a second period of time. The veneer may optionally be subjected to ultrasonic treatment, ultraviolet solidification treatment, or subsequent pressurization treatments to obtain the final nano veneer product. As a result, veneer manufactured using embodiments of the present invention will have the advantages of high strength, wear resistance, pollution resistance, acid and alkali resistance, water segregation and decay resistance.
