Abstract

See full text

The new methods for treating green wood discuss herein speed up air drying of common green wood, including both softwood and hardwood. This method involves treating and altering the green wood with a base solution, and subjecting the wood to an air drying process. The new methods require less time to dry the green wood to a desired water content. In addition, other additives may be included in the base solution such as miscibility solvent(s), preservative(s), solubilizer(s)/stabilizer(s), chelating agent(s), bonding agent(s), pigment(s), UV protective, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and/or anti-insect chemical(s). The base solution solution may also slow down the wood deterioration caused by physical, chemical and biological sources under ambient conditions.
