Utilization of plasma treatments in the field of wood protection
2021 - IRG/WP 21-40912
Plasma treatments have been used for modification of surfaces of wood and wood-based materials for some decades and solutions were developed to apply it for wood protection. This contribution aims to present the background, introduce the available plasma technology, and to give an overview on the typical applications and benefits....

Performance of a water-borne stain on beech, spruce, MDF and OSB improved by plasma pre-treatment
2020 - IRG/WP 20-40897
Coatings are an important part of wood protection, especially for outdoor applications. In order to provide a good protection, protective coatings need to exhibit good adhesion, mechanical resistance, and weathering resistance. Plasma pre-treatments are an established method to increase the performance of existing coatings including those on wood and wood-based substrates. Moreover, plasma deposit...

Hydrophilization of wood using a FE-DBD air plasma
2020 - IRG/WP 20-40907
One of the goals of surface protection of wood with coatings is to prevent the evolution of moisture in wood, which accelerates its degradation by abiotic and biotic factors. Good wettability of wood is a necessary pre-condition for sufficient protection with water-based coatings. Treatment of wood surface with atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge in configuration with a floating electrode was...

Influence of plasma treatment on the coatability of wood primer with a topcoat for exterior use
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30828
The coatability of oil, or of solvent-borne alkyd resin wood primers with waterborne acrylic finish is the subject of much debate, but not much information can be found in the scientific literature on this topic. The aim of our study was therefore to evaluate the adhesion strength of the waterborne acrylic coating on oiled wood or wood with a solvent-based alkyd primer and to test the recoatabilit...
