Exploring novel additives for colour retention of the treated wood products

在这个OCE VIP I和NSERC Engage项目中，Shelburne Wood Protection Ltd.（SWPL）将与University of 多伦多的研究人员开发一个新的处理木材产品线针对甲板市场。该研究项目将 着重研究了加拿大木材的化学处理和着色颜料的渗透和保留 耐火木材品种及其与最终产品耐久性和紫外线稳定性的相关性。行业学术 团队还将探索玻璃喷砂和端部密封剂作为表面预处理工艺， 木质材料，以增强化学品和颜料在最终产品中的渗透和保留。如果 新的产品线是成功的，它可以显着帮助保持SWPL及其客户的竞争优势， 大型装饰市场。它还将大大提高SWPL的生产能力，在安大略创造20个新的就业机会。的 通过该项目培训的HQP有可能获得经处理木材行业的第一手工业经验， 接触防腐剂和颜料化学和材料交叉学科领域的前沿科学 以理工科为重

In this OCE VIP I and NSERC Engage project, Shelburne Wood Protection Ltd. (SWPL) will partner with the University of Toronto's researcher to develop a new treated wood products line targeting the decking market. The research project will be focused on investigation of treatment chemical and colour pigment penetration and retention in lumber of Canadian refractory wood species as well as their correlation with the final product durability and UV stability. The industryacademic team will also explore glass blastering and end sealant as surface pretreatment processes for the wood materials for enhanced chemical and colour pigment penetration and retention in the final products. If the new product line is successful, it can significantly help maintain SWPL and its customers competitive edge in the large decking market. It will also significantly increase SWPLs production capacity, creating 20 new jobs in Ontario. The HQP trained by the project has the potential to gain first hand industrial experience in the treated wood sector and be exposed to leading edge sciences in the cross disciplinary area of preservative and pigment chemistry and material sciences.
