The most popular building material is wood. It has been used since ancient times, not only for the construction of houses, but also for the manufacture of ships, household items and various other products. At the same time, it should be noted that the technology of wood processing has not changed much since those times, although new tools and materials have appeared that can greatly simplify this process.
However, most modern people are not engaged in the manufacture of wood products, but this does not mean that they do not purchase them for their needs. In this case, the question usually arises, how to impregnate the tree. This is due to the fact that most of these products are designs that require further processing, especially protection from moisture or various pests.
Treat wood before using it for its intended purpose, so that the finished product does not absorb moisture during operation, which will lead to distortion and quick failure. There are also impregnations for wood, which include antibacterial components that prevent the appearance of mold and mildew.
Twenty years agofor these purposes, they used ordinary drying oil, which coped well with the task. However, it dried for quite a long time, had a characteristic smell and stuck to hands. It should also be noted that this tool cannot penetrate deeply into the structure of the processed material, which means that such protection is superficial.
Modern wood impregnations are highly absorbent. They penetrate the material to a depth of several centimeters, which makes such processing better and more reliable. At the same time, they dry quite quickly and do not stick to hands.
Unlike drying oil, modern wood impregnations have good priming properties. They adhere well to paint, and some crafters prefer to add a little dye directly into them. Thus, the product is painted a couple of centimeters inside, which, with minor damage during operation, helps to avoid visible scratches and even cracks.
Wood is used for various purposes and under different climatic conditions. Therefore, each individual product should be subjected to its own processing. Usually, modern wood impregnations have universal properties, but there are specialized materials that have special properties designed for specific conditions. For example, able to withstand s alt water, fireproof, highly resistant to pests, and even decorative (giving the tree an antique look). Before purchasing this or that impregnation, you shouldcarefully study the instructions for it. In it you can also learn about the method of applying liquid to wood, and about what temperature regime should be observed until it dries completely.
Thus, modern impregnations have significantly surpassed the previously used drying oil. They are reliable, high quality and easy to use.
