An antiseptic for wood is a special tool for processing wood, used in order to destroy microorganisms that can cause wood decomposition, as well as to protect it from other adverse effects during operation. The sphere of use of antiseptics, as a rule, is the construction, manufacture of furniture and some other types of production. The intensity of wood processing with an antiseptic solution depends on the area of its alleged use.
There are two main groups of antiseptic solutions: for the prevention and treatment of wood.
Preventive agent is treated even before the start of work. Antiseptic must be selected depending on the type of wood used. The primer and painting of wooden building materials is carried out only after careful impregnation with an antiseptic.
Therapeutic antiseptic is a more radical agent. Its action is aimed at combating the existing problem: if the wood is already damaged by insects or due to other external influences. In some cases, therapeutic antiseptics can be used for preventive purposes: in particular, if the tree is operated in severe climatic conditions at high humidity or strong temperature fluctuations.
Antiseptics for a deep penetration tree: options
When choosing an antiseptic agent, it is important to take into account the features of the wood used: for example, for coniferous and deciduous rocks, various types of solutions are necessary.
There are also antiseptics for a deep penetration tree. The effect of such impregnation is as follows: the solution penetrates into wood fibers per 1-2 cm depth and has a bactericidal effect on the material.
Deep exposure antiseptics differ depending on the raw materials from which they are produced:
Organic. Are made on the basis of natural oils (anthracite, creosot). Such funds are toxic and are used, as a rule, in industrial conditions.
Combined. They are produced by connecting several chemically aggressive substances that dissolve gasoline and kerosene. Such antiseptics require compliance with special safety rules when using.
Water -based products. Applied for prevention and shown for processing of wood indoors. They are the most environmentally friendly of all existing types of antiseptic solutions and can be produced in various forms, including in the form of dry powder.
For a tree, which is intended for operation in conditions with special indicators of humidity and temperature, it is necessary exclusively factory processing.
Types of antiseptics for wood and their features
Currently, manufacturers offer a wide range of antiseptic agents for internal and external wood:
film -forming compounds – are used to protect wood products from moisture and subsequent deformation. As a rule, such antiseptic solutions are environmentally friendly and can be used in rooms;
bleaches. Ensure the preservation of the original color of wood, which is exposed to ultraviolet rays and atmospheric precipitation;
Fire protection products-thanks to a special composition, are able to effectively withstand the processes of fire and decomposition due to the effects of microorganisms.
Tree of wood with an antiseptic
Regardless of the type of antiseptic you used, there are universal rules for their use, which must be observed not only in order to ensure the highest quality result, but also the safety in the work of work.
Antiseptic solution should only be applied to clean and dry wood. Thus, before using the product, you should first prepare a wooden surface (if necessary, you can use a scraper and even a solvent).
It is advisable to start processing a tree with the most damaged areas. Work with an antiseptic should be carried out at a temperature of five degrees of heat, if the product has an organic or combined nature. For water -soluble agents, the temperature should be at least ten degrees of heat. Air humidity should be at least 80%.
The antiseptic for wood is most conveniently applied to the surface with a brush, roller or spray (depending on the form of release of the product).
