Chestnut tannin-furfurylic resins for wood preservation: influence of the proportion of tannins as a copolymer
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30816
Tannin, which is present in all plants, is the most abundant polyphenol globally and can be extracted using water or organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol and methanol. Tannins are classified into two categories: condensed tannins (catechin-based polymers) and hydrolysable tannins (sugar esters with galloyl units). Previous studies have demonstrated its potential as a raw material for modifyin...

Modification of Beech Wood by Furfurylation with Chestnut (Castanea sativa) or Acacia (Acacia mearnsii) Tannins for Protection Against Subterranean Termites
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30832
Environmental concerns about tropical deforestation have emphasised the need to source wood from sustainably managed forests. At the same time, competition from alternative materials has amplified the demand for high-quality wood-based products that meet contemporary expectations. To date, most preservative treatments have involved impregnating wood with biocides, often derived from petrochemicals...

Valorisation of bark extractives for wood and plant protection: the Extrabark project
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50415
The Extrabark project is an Interreg collaborative project between Lorraine in France, Wallonia in Belgium, the Saarland in Germany and Luxembourg. The objectives of the project are to develop a complete value chain of valorisation of bark generated by wood industry via the utilization of extracts or molecules for the protection of plants and wood material as a bio-sourced alternative to petrochem...
