Definitions

  • the present invention is related generally to the field of wood preservatives and wood flame retardants, and more particularly to such compositions which comprise micronized boron compounds.
  • Wood and other cellulose based products exposed in an outdoor environment are biodegradable, primarily through attack by microorganisms and insects. As a result, they will decay, weaken in strength, and discolor.
  • Microorganisms causing wood deterioration include brown rots such as Postia placenta, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Coniophora souna , white rots such as Irpex lacteus and Trametes versicolor , dry rots such as Serpula lacrymans and Meruliporia incrassata and soft rots such as Cephalosporium, Acremonium , and Chaetomium .
  • Insects which can destroy wood include termites, beetles, ants, bees, wasps, etc.
  • Wood preservatives are used for preserving wood and other cellulose-based materials, such as paper, particleboard, textiles, rope, etc., against organisms responsible for the deterioration of wood.
  • Wood is also subject to destruction or degradation through other destructive agencies.
  • wood is generally highly flammable, which can limit its usefulness in applications involving high temperatures or proximity of flames or flammable materials.
  • Boron compounds have been widely used to provide wood with broad spectrum protection against most wood destroying organisms, such as fungi, termites, ants, bees, beetles, etc.
  • Boron compounds, particularly inorganic compounds are also known to have a flame retardant effect.
  • An advantage of boron compounds over other wood preservatives and flame retardants is their low mammalian toxicity and minimal environmental impact.
  • boron-containing wood preservative systems such as copper-chromium-boron (CCB) and copper-boric acid-azole (CBA).
  • CB copper-chromium-boron
  • CBA copper-boric acid-azole
  • a major limitation of these commercially available preservatives is that the boron compounds readily leach from wood when exposed to environmental moisture, resulting in a diminished bioefficacy, especially over extended time periods.
  • many efforts have been directed by researchers in the wood preservation area to fix the boron in the treated wood.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,821,631 discloses a two step treatment process for preventing leaching of boron compounds from wood. Wood is treated with an alkali silicate solution followed by treatment with an alkali borate solution. It is thought that the silicate and borate forms a borate-silicate polymer within the wood substrate, imparting leach resistance to wood treated with boron compounds. However, due to the incompatibility of the silicate and borate solutions, this method is likely to create a cross contamination problem in commercial wood treating plants. In addition, the two-step treating process is expensive and time consuming.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,896,908 discloses a leach resistant borate preservative containing borate, copper or zinc, and organic acids.
  • Aqueous ammonia-based solutions have been widely used to solubilize metal borates, such as copper borate, zinc borate and calcium borate in an attempt to fix borates in wood.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,823 describes a boron fixation method which includes dissolving copper borate or zinc borate in ammonia or other volatile agents. When the boron containing formulation is impregnated into wood, the volatile agents evaporate, leaving water-insoluble copper or zinc borate residue on the interstices of the wood.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,194,827 discloses a boron wood preservative containing an aqueous ammoniacal solution of copper or zinc borate. Similarly U.S. Pat. No.
  • 2,573,253 discloses a process for treating wood with a solution of copper borate in ammonia.
  • current processes generally require the dissolution of the boron compound in a solvent, usually ammonia, which can be difficult and dangerous to work with due to its noxious fumes.
  • existing wood preservatives can also contain other types of biocides, such as organic biocides.
  • organic biocides have limited water-solubility. Therefore, solubilizing agents, surfactants and wetting agents are often added to either solubilize or form emulsions of the organic biocide to formulate a product that is suitable for the treatment of wood or other cellulosic substrates.
  • solubilizing agents, surfactants, and wetting agents are costly and the use of these products can result in enhanced leaching of the biocides when the treated material comes into contact with moisture, giving rise to field performance problems and environmental issues.
  • Such enhanced leaching is considered to be the result of the solubilizing agents, surfactants and wetting agents which remain in the wood after treatment.
  • a few inorganic boron compounds such as for example, zinc borate, have been employed as flame retardants in wood applications.
  • the compounds have been used by as a powder incorporated into a matrix.
  • the boron compound is incorporated into plastic by blending a polymer material with boron compounds.
  • zinc borate is mixed with wood particles, chips fibers or sawdust and a glue or adhesive matrix to form a wood composite product such as, for example Oriented Stand Board (OSB), or particle board.
  • OSB Oriented Stand Board
  • a boron compound-containing glue or adhesive matrix is used to join wood plys or veneers together (so-called “glue-line” use) to form plywood.

It has been observed for micronized particles that in most cases at least 10 wt % of the micronized particles present in the wood substrate after impregnation have penetrated to a depth of 0.3 millimeters or greater. In other embodiments, at least 20 or 35 wt % of the micronized particles present inside the wood substrate after treatment have penetrated to a depth of 0.3 mm or greater.

  • Non-biocidal products such as water repellants (such as wax emulsions), colorants, emulsifying agents, dispersants, stabilizers, UV inhibitors, enhancing agents (such as trialkylamine oxides and alkoxylated diamines) and the like may also be added to the composition disclosed herein to enhance the appearance and performance of the resulting treated products.
  • water repellants such as wax emulsions
  • colorants such as wax emulsions
  • emulsifying agents such as dispersants, stabilizers, UV inhibitors
  • enhancing agents such as trialkylamine oxides and alkoxylated diamines
  • trialkylamine oxides which can be used in the compositions of the present invention include those having the following structure:
  • R 1 is a linear or cyclic C 8 to C 40 saturated or unsaturated group and R 2 and R 3 independently are linear C 1 to C 40 saturated or unsaturated groups
  • alkoxylated diamines which can be used in the compositions of the present invention include those having the following structure:
  • n is an integer which can have a value of from 1 to 4;
  • R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, ethyl and phenyl; and a, b and c are integers which can each have values of from 1 to 6, and
  • R 4 is a straight or branched fatty alkyl group of C 8 to C 22 .
  • Wood treated with boron compounds in the dispersion formulation disclosed herein exhibits reduced leaching of the compounds upon exposure of the wood to aqueous conditions such as the environment. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , after three days of exposure, the boric acid preservative leached heavily from wood treated with 1.0% boric acid. However wood treated with a 1.0% micronized zinc borate only leached about 35 wt %. Leaching was evaluated following the procedures described in American Wood Preservers' Association Standard E11-97.
  • Particle size has an effect on penetration of the dispersion formulation into the cellular structure of the wood or other cellulose-based material. Particles with sizes in excess of 30 microns may be filtered by the surface of the wood and thus may not be uniformly distributed within the cell and cell wall. As shown in FIG. 2 , the primary entry and movement of fluids through wood tissue occurs primarily through the tracheids and border pits. Tracheids have a diameter of about thirty microns. Fluids are transferred between wood cells by means of border pits.
  • the overall diameter of the border pit chambers typically varies from a several microns up to thirty microns while, the diameter of the pit openings (via the microfibrils) typically varies from several hundredths of a micron to several microns.
  • FIG. 3 depicts the border pit structure for coniferous woods.
  • Particles having sizes smaller than the pit openings generally have an increased ability to penetrate the wood matrix.
  • increasing weight percent of particles having diameters less that the pit openings generally correlates with increasing degree of penetration and increasing uniformity of particle distribution within the wood.
  • micronized boron compounds and organic biocides used in the dispersion formulation disclosed herein typically do not have appreciable amounts of particles with sizes exceeding 30 microns or the boron compound and/or organic biocide may not effectively penetrate the wood tissue.
  • the particle size of substantially all of the micronized particles used in the dispersion formulation disclosed herein is between 0.001-10 microns. In another embodiment, the particle size of substantially all of the micronized particles is between 0.005 to 1.0 micron. In another embodiment, the particle size of substantially all of the micronized particles is between 0.05 to 10.0 microns. If a more uniform penetration is desired, particle size of substantially all of the micronized particles in the dispersion formulation disclosed herein can be between 0.05-1.0 microns. “Substantially all,” as used above, means greater than 80 wt %. In other embodiments, greater than 85, 90, 95 or 99 wt % of the total particulate in the formulation satisfies the embodiments listed in this paragraph.
  • particle size distributional parameters can affect the uniformity of particle distribution in the wood, as well as the leaching properties of treated wood. It is thus preferable, but not essential, to use particle size distributions which contain relatively few particles with sizes outside the range of 0.001 to 25 microns. It is preferred that no more than 20 weight percent of the particles have diameters which are greater than 25 microns. Because smaller particles have an increased chance of leaching from the wood, it is also preferred that no more than 20 wt % of the particles have diameters under 0.001 microns.
  • greater than 60 wt % of the particles have a diameter in the range of 0.001 to 25 microns. In more preferred embodiments, greater than 80, 85, 90, 95 or 99 wt percent of the particles are in the range of 0.001 to 25 microns.
  • At least 50 wt % of the particles should have diameters which are less than 10 microns. More preferred are particle distributions in which at least 65 wt % of the particles have sizes of less than 10 microns. In additional embodiments, less than 20 wt % of the particles have diameters of less than 1 micron.
  • the present invention also provides a method for preservation of wood.
  • the method comprises the steps of treating wood with composition (treating fluid) comprising a dispersion of micronized boron compound.
  • wood is treated with a composition comprising a dispersion of micronized boron compounds and organic biocides, wherein the organic biocides are soluble or present as micronized particles.
  • greater than 60 wt % of the micronized particles of boron compound and organic biocide are between 0.001 and 25 microns, and in other embodiments, between 0.005 and 10 microns, between 0.05 and 10 microns and between 0.05 and 1.0 microns.
  • the present invention is not limited to applications which involve micronized particles which have been applied to wood as such.
  • the wood preservative effect of micronized particles can be realized by the formation of such particles in situ.
  • in situ it is meant that particle formation takes place on or within the wood.
  • the benefits of the present invention can be realized if particle formation takes place, for example, within the tracheids of the wood to be preserved.
  • particle formation can take place outside of the tracheids, with the subsequent movement of at least some of the particles into the tracheids. Such a movement can be caused by, for example, pressure cycling, such as described in the examples.
  • the micronized particles generally have an average size which is small enough such that the particles in the composition at least partially penetrate wood by particle migration through tracheids and border pits.
  • the present invention also provides a method for preservation of wood.
  • the method comprises the steps of treating wood with a composition (treating fluid) comprising one or more micronized boron compounds.
  • the treating fluid may be applied to wood by impregnation, dipping, soaking, spraying, brushing, or other means well known in the art.
  • vacuum and/or pressure techniques are used to impregnate the wood in accord with this invention, including standard processes such as the “Empty Cell” process, the “Modified Full Cell” process and the “Full Cell” process, and other vacuum and/or pressure processes which are known to those skilled in the art.
  • micronized particles that in most cases, at least 10 wt % of the boron compound present in the wood or wood product substrate after treatment penetrates to a depth of 0.3 mm or greater. In other embodiments, at least 20 or 35 wt % of the micronized particles present in the wood substrate after treatment have penetrated to a depth of 0.3 mm or greater.
  • compositions and methods of the present invention enable the imparting of superior fire retardant properties characteristic of boron compounds to wood and wood products without the need for boron compound-containing glue, adhesive, filler or other matrix.
  • the presence of boron compound inside the wood or wood product substrate can be achieved by impregnating the micronized composition into the wood rather than by fabrication of a composite wood product with a boron-compound-containing matrix.
  • the compositions of the present invention are free of plasticizers glues and other adhesives or fillers found in composite wood products.
  • treatment should not be construed as pertaining only to the application of micronized particles to wood which is to be preserved, but to all methods as a result of which micronized particles are present in the wood, such as, for example, in situ formation of micronized particles.
  • treated wood is only intended to mean wood comprising micronized particles, irrespective of the mode of formation/delivery of the micronized particles.
  • wood which has been treated with micronized preservatives of the present invention is particularly resistant to mold growth.
  • amines and other nitrogenous compounds currently used in preservative compositions serve as an energy source for molds. Because the disclosed preservative compositions are free of amines, wood which has been treated with them may be found to mold to a lesser extent than wood which has been treated with amine-containing compositions and similarly exposed.
  • Wood which has been impregnated with micronized biocidal formulations generally exhibits reduced biocide leaching relative to wood which contains non-micronized biocidal compositions. Without desiring to be bound by theory, it is thought that the ability of a given component to be solvated in an aqueous environment is one of the most important considerations with respect to leaching. All other variables being equal, easily solvated compounds and ions exhibit greater leaching than chemical species which may not have the same ability to be solvated in a given aqueous environment. Thus, the presence of a biocide in micronized form prevents much of the biocide from being in direct contact with the aqueous environment, reducing its ability to be solvated. In environments which are conducive to leaching, the result is reduced leaching.
  • Wood treated with the compositions of the present invention has been observed to have a uniform distribution of micronized particles. This can be observed following the American Wood Preservers' Association (AWPA) Standards A3-04 “Standard Methods for Determining Penetration of Preservatives and Fire Retardants.” It can also be observed via the use of microscopy. For example, when scanning electron microscopy is combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDXA), the presence of, as well as the distribution of the micronized particles can be observed. SEM-EDXA is also useful for determination of the elements present in the micronized particles and therefore, the composition of the particles can be determined. Specific staining methods can be carried out on SEM sections to determine the identity of the composition of the particles.
