Wood treatment by paraffin impregnation - preliminary research

Pinus pinaster wood was impregnated with paraffin to different levels using a hot-cold process with the hot step at 170-180 ºC and 2-4h. Weight gain, density, equilibrium moisture and dimensional stability (ASE) at 35% and 65% relative humidity and termite durability against Reticulitermes grassei (...
