The influence of formulation on the behaviour of LOSP's during industrial impregnation of spruce

IRG/WP 3387

L D A Saunders, D M Zuvencko

Evidence is presented that the comparative behaviour of two LOSP formulations during impregnation treatment of spruce cannot be predicted purely on the basis of their physical characteristics (viscosity, surface tension and contact angle) nor on the extent of their 'passive' penetration into pine sapwood.
