Definitions
- the present invention relates to the method according to the preamble of Claim 1 for protecting wood against decay, molding and similar non-desirable reactions caused by microorganisms.
- the invention also relates to a method for improving the water repellence of wood, a product prepared by the method, and its use advantageously for wood preservation and for improving the dimensional stability of wood.
- Brown-rot fungi remove cellulose and hemicellulose from wood and white-rot fungi additionally use the lignin components of wood. Brown rot is characterized by rapid deterioration of the strength properties of wood already at an early stage of decay, before changes observable by the bare eye. For this reason, among others, brown-rot fungi are in the boreal climate zones the worst destroyers of wood and wood structures, causing annually losses of thousands of millions of Finnish marks.
- Wood is protected chemically against microbes which damage wood.
- Conventional preservatives can roughly be divided into three main categories: 1) water-based impregnants; 2) oil-based impregnants; and 3) creosote oil.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of prior art and to provide a novel method for protecting timber, such as sawn timber, wood composites such as plywood, chipboards and fiberboards. and similar lignocellulose-based products against rotting, molding and similar decay and damage reactions caused by microorganisms.
- the penetration of water into the wood structure can be limited by treating the wood with water-repellent compounds.
- the invention uses compounds such as siloxane derivatives, acid anhydride derivatives containing a hydrophobic carbon chain, or fluoroalkyl polymers, which are capable at least in part of penetrating also into the cell wall structure of wood and of preventing interaction between hydroxyl groups and water. It would appear that the hydrophobification compound binds covalently or polymerizes with the reactive compounds of the cell wall of a lignocellulose- based material, whereupon there forms in the surface structures of the material a water- repellent film which prevents the penetration of water molecules into the macrostructure of the lignocellulose-based material.
- the present invention aims at controlling the moisture content of lignocellulose-based materials in such a manner that the transfer of ambient moisture into the wood cell wall is prevented. It has been observed, unexpectedly, that a very good wood preservation effect is achieved by combining such a hydrophobification treatment with the above-mentioned wood preservation using a complexing agent as the active component (as a fungicide-like agent).
- the moisture content of the wood material is crucially important for the growth and propagation of microorganisms. Decay fungi require relatively high moisture contents in the substrate, water at minimum 30 % of the dry weight of the wood. This moisture content causes saturation of wood cell walls with water and the formation of a free water film in the cell cavity. The prevention of the transfer of water into the cell wall leads to a situation in which the moisture requirements of decay fungi are not fulfilled, and the growth and propagation of fungi are not possible. At the same time, hydrophobification agents are surprisingly effective in binding complexing agents to wood.
- the wood preservative composition according to the invention for its part is characterized in what is stated in the characterizing part of Claim 9, and the method according to the invention for controlling the moisture content of a lignocellulose-based material is characterized in what is stated in the characterizing part of Claim 1 1.
- the method according to the invention is suited for all lignocellulose-based products (e.g. sawn timber, plywood, chipboards, and various wood composites).
- the method according to the invention is used in a treatment combination aimed at improving the biologic efficacy of the treatment (e.g. EDTA + hydrophobification treatment).
- the hydrophobification treatment is also suited for decreasing the amount of fungicides (e.g. conventional impregnant + hydrophobification treatment).
- a lignocellulose-based material can be treated by various pressure impregnation methods, application and spraying methods, and immersion methods.
- the compound improving water repellence penetrates into the cell wall and becomes there unwashable or difficult to wash out (a compound which either forms covalent bonds or is polymerizable). Furthermore, the compound is preferably emulsifiable in water.
- Figure 1 depicts the contact angles of water as a function of time on wood surfaces (surface parallel to the radius) treated with chelator-siloxane combination solutions
- Figure 2 depicts, with the help of a bar diagram, the differences in the dry volumes of the wood specimens before and after impregnation
- Figure 3 depicts, in the form of a bar diagram, the effect of compounds improving water repellence on the dimensional stability of wood

- non-desirable reactions of microorganisms is meant in the present applications primarily the damage and decay of wood caused by fungi and molds.
- the decay of wood i.e. a substantial weakening of its strength properties, is mainly attributable to decay fungi, which include, for example, the above-mentioned brown-rot fungi and white-rot fungi.
- Damage i.e. discoloration
- to wood is caused, among others, by the above-mentioned blue- stain fungi and mold fungi.
- the weight loss caused by these is insignificant.
- the invention can be used for protecting timber from the non-desirable reactions of all of the above-mentioned microorganisms
- complexing agent i.e. "chelator”
- chelator a substance capable of binding bi- or trivalent cations into insoluble or soluble complexes.

- metal-binding phenolates or cathecolates such as biologic chelators, siderophores, produced by microorganisms.
- Siderophores are microorganism-produced complexing agents which bind metal ions of the substrate, in particular iron, for the use of the organism. It has been observed that certain siderophores produced by fungi (Trichoderma sp. ) or bacteria (Pseudomonas sp.) have an effect inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms, which is based on a strong affinity of siderophores to the iron in the substrate.

- hydrophobification compounds The action of hydrophobification compounds is based on their molecular structure, wherein there is a hydrophilic end at one end of the molecule and a hydrophobic one at the other.
- the hydrophilic end of the compound favors an aqueous phase (e.g. the hydrophilic OH groups of the wood cell wall) and the hydrophobic end favors an oil phase, i.e. it repels water.

- the amount of a silicon/siloxane compound is within a corresponding range, i.e. approx. 0.1 - 100 kg/m 3 of dry wood.
- Wood or a corresponding lignocellulose-based material can be treated separately with a complexing agent and a hydrophobification agent, either first with a complexing agent and then with a hydrophobification agent, or vice versa, or the material can be treated with solutions of both agents simultaneously. The material may be dried between the treatments.

- the immersion treatment there is used a maximally saturated complexing agent solution, in which case the treatment time in the impregnation step is approx. 1 min - 5 h.
- the time required by the immersion treatment of fresh sawn timber is typically approx. 30 min - 2 h.
- the model compounds tested penetrate the cell wall and form therein, with the reactive compounds of the cell wall, stable combinations which do not washout or which wash out with difficulty.
- a water-repellent film which slows down the penetration of water molecules into the macro-structure of the wood material.
- the lignocellulose-based material has a water-repellent film which entirely or in part prevents the passage of ambient moisture into the wood cell wall.
- the hydrophobification compounds When penetrating into the cell wall, the hydrophobification compounds cause swelling of the cell wall structures and combine with hydrophilic groups therein, whereupon ambient water molecules either will not have room in the cell wall structures or will not find free bonding surfaces.
- the treatments also prevent the wood strength weakening caused by decay fungi.
- the causes of the improved efficacy against decay of the EDTA-siloxane mixture are at present not known precisely. It is possible that the compounds react with each other, forming a complex which retains and also promotes those properties of the treatment required for decay preventing action.

- EDTA Na 2 EDTA (Akzo, Basf)
- the indicator used for water-repellence of a surface is the shape of a drop of water dropped on the surface concerned, i.e. the angle between the drop and the base (contact angle): the greater the angle, the more water-repellent the base.

- the precise dimensions of pine sapwood specimens 21 x 21 x 5 mm were measured oven dry before the impregnations and. further, oven dry after the impregnations.
- Figure 2 shows the differences in the dry volumes of the wood specimens before and after impregnation.
- the dry volume of wood impregnated with water (control) is smaller after the impregnation than before the impregnation, i.e. substances are leached out from the cell wall.
- the interaction of the hydrophilic groups in the cell wall with molecules other than water molecules results in a decrease of bonding sites available to water molecules.
- the improvement of the dimensional stability of wood under the effect of impregnation treatments is an indication of the penetration, into the cell wall of the wood, of the compound used for the impregnation and, to a certain degree, also of its bonding thereto..
