Wood Coatings Based on Liquefied Wood
Background
The existing commercial wood coatings are mainly containing binders based on synthetic resins. Both solvent- or water-borne coatings contain main ingredients made from non-renewable resources and so, their influence on the environment is considerable. Therefore, there is an intensive search for suitable binder alternatives based on renewable resources. Such a potential alternative is also liquefied wood.
Description of the Invention
There are reports and even products for wood bonding, based on liquefied wood, already described in literature. On the other hand, liquefied-wood based coatings for wood are very rarely mentioned and by our best knowledge have not been applied so far in practice. So, development and characterization of liquefied wood-based finishes for wood represent our invention.
Main Advantages
Substitution of wood coatings with synthetic resins as a main ingredient with finishes that contain binders based on renewable biomass.
