Exploring novel additives for colour retention of the treated wood products

在这个OCE VIP I和NSERC Engage项目中，谢尔本木材保护有限公司(SWPL)将与加州大学 多伦多的研究人员开发了一种新的木材处理产品线，目标是装饰市场。这项研究项目将 重点研究加拿大木材中处理化学物质和彩色颜料的渗透和滞留 耐火木材种类及其与最终产品耐久性和紫外线稳定性的相关性。业界学者 团队还将探索玻璃喷砂和端面密封剂作为表面处理工艺 木材材料，用于增强化学和彩色颜料在最终产品中的渗透性和保持性。如果 新的产品线是成功的，它可以显著地帮助保持西南物流及其客户在 巨大的甲板市场。它还将显著提高SWPLs的产能，为安大略省创造20个新的就业机会。这个 由该项目培训的HQP有可能获得处理木材部门的第一手工业经验，并将 接触防腐剂、颜料化学和材料交叉学科领域的前沿科学 科学。

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.
