Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of quality improvement of wooden articles such as improved preservation of wood through impregnation thereof, and where the impregnation is carried out by the wooden articles being immersed in a bath of hot linseed oil or similar vegetable oil, heated to at least 110°C, whereby the water present in the wood evaporates and diffuses through the wood and the oil while the hot oil simultaneously penetrates into the pores and cavities of the wood, whereupon the wooden articles are taken out of the bath and the oil oozed in is made to cure and thereby to stiffen the wood.
- French patent No. 397,786 disloses a method for drying wood and improving the quality of the wood by immersing said wood into hot linseed oil or similar oils.
- the temperature of the oil must be sufficiently high for the water in the wood to evaporate and the wood to be impregnated with the oil. It is stated that the temperature is conventionally 100-110°C. This method is not quite satisfactory because the wooden articles tend to be distorted at this relatively low impregnation temperature, as is also the case when drying in hot air.
- the method according to the invention is characterised in that during the immersion of the wooden articles, the linseed oil bath has a temperature in the range of 145°-250°C, preferably near 250°C, and that an insecticide and/or fungicide has been added to the linseed oil.
- the linseed oil bath has a temperature in the range of 145°-250°C, preferably near 250°C, and that an insecticide and/or fungicide has been added to the linseed oil.
- the treated wooden articles stand mechanical treatment at higher rates of speed than so far known, as the impregnation oil has a considerable lubricating effect. Furthermore, the surface of the wooden articles better stand painting at a later time. Finally, the method is environmentally more acceptable than the known pressure impregnation where salts are used which may be toxinous.
- An embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterised in that a drier (siccative) is added to the linseed oil used thereby accelerating the curing of the oil.
- a second embodiment of the invention according to the invention is characterised in that colour pigments have been added to the linseed oil used.
- the finished wooden articles get a more attractive appearance, as the colour pigments particularly settle on the surface of the wooden articles.
- the penetration depends on the type of wood, dimension and original place in the stem.
- a further embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterised in that the treated articles are of old (previsously used) wood.
- old apparently worn out wood may find new use, for instance in connection with a restoration, as the wood gets back its old strength, indeed may get stonger than it naturally was.
- the immersion may be carried out for a relatively short period whereby the penetration of the linseed oil in the wooden material takes place to a rather slight depth. Thereby wooden articles of a rather different quality may be obtained.
- the wooden articles may be subjected to a controlled drying (curing process) in heat chamber or autoclave after the impregnation with the hot linseed oil. It is thereby further ensured that the end product is not crooked.
- the linseed bath may have a temperature of 145-250°C, preferably 175-245°C, during the immersion of the wooden articles, which has been found particularly advantageous.
- the linseed bath may have a temperature of 210-240°C, preferably 225-235°C during the immersion of the wooden articles, which is also very advantageous.
- the wooden articles may be kept immersed for at least 10 minutes, preferably 15-45 minutes, whereby a suitable oozing in of oil is obtained.
- the present method is environmentally acceptable because the substances used are degradable and possible residues may be used for other purposes, for instance paint.
- a number of new window frames (500 by 1000 mm) made of pinewood, which were desired to be improved as regards the wood quality were freed of glass and possible hardware.
- the frames were then immersed into a large heated vessel containing linseed oil varnish, i.e. pure linseed oil with drier (siccative) added and an insecticide and fungicide.
- the linseed oil had a temperature of 250°C or slightly below.
- the frames were kept immersed for 10-20 minutes. They were then taken out of the bath and brought to a drying chamber where the air temperature was about 50°C and the air change was uniformly slow.
- the drier (siccative) added to the linseed oil comprised 0.07% lead 0.003% manganese and 0.004% calcium.
- the following naphthanates: 0.3% copper naphthanate and 0.3% zink naphthanate were added as insecticide and fungicide.
- the finished frames displayed a marked improvement of the strength of the wood and the joints between the frame sections of which the individual frame is constructed, proved to be very compact.
- the frames displayed no tendency to warp (crookedness) and were entirely without fungus spores. Furthermore, the frames did not provide intimate soil to the fungus spores.
- a number of wooden articles of pinewood were formed to have dimensions almost corresponding to the dimensions of the worked end products.
- the degree of humidity of the starting articles was around 20%.
- the articles were immersed in a bath of 150°C hot linseed oil and were kept under the surface of the oil for 45 minutes. At the end of this period only signs of the oil sizzling around the articles were seen. The water evaporation had ceased before then.
- the invention may be varied in many ways without thereby deviating from the scope of its idea.
- the time spent by the articles in the linseed bath may thus be extended to several hours. Possibly, the drying time may be extended to more days.
