Treatment of wood with high-quality antiseptics can significantly increase its life.

They are intended to effectively protect the wooden structures from mold, rot and destruction, as well as to increase operational characteristics.

This is suitable for specially designed formulations that meet the basic safety requirements.

Wood protection begins with the choice of a suitable antiseptic agent.

Types of antiseptics and composition

Modern antiseptics classifies the composition, appointment and use area.

Depending on the main components that were used to produce protective agents, impregnation for wood can be divided into the following types:

• Water-soluble;
• Oil;
• Organic;
• Combined.

Water soluble

The impregnation on a water-soluble basis is intended for carrying out the prevention of wood processing of various types. Wood antiseptic is used to protect surfaces that are not exposed to water.

The following ingredients are applied to the production of water-soluble antiseptics:

• Sodium siliconfluoride;
• Sodium fluoride;
• BBK 3 (Boric Acid and Bura).

Oil

The most popular and in demand type of antiseptic, which is used to protect wooden structures from high moisture. The basis of such agents make up oil - anthracene, shale or coal.

Antiseptic for wood gives a dark rich shade tree.

It does not dissolve in water, but has an increased flammability ratio and a strong oil smell, so used exclusively for external work.

Organic

The impregnation of an organic type is not so in demand and often used to protect the outer wooden structures.

An antiseptic for wood of this type creates a thin protective film on the surface treated, improving the moisture-absorbing and adhesive characteristics of the wood.

The disadvantages include the possibility of staining surfaces into a green color and an increase in their porosity.

In addition, similar means negatively affect the elements of the metal, contributing to the development of corrosion processes.

Combined

Such antiseptic compositions successfully combine the performance characteristics of other types.

Depending on the purpose, special protection of wood is divided into two categories:

By area of \u200b\u200buse, the antiseptic for wood is divided into two categories:

1. For internal works. The impregnation of this type is used to protect structures and elements intended for indoor rooms. Therefore, it is absolutely harmless and does not have a strong smell. It is important to remember that for each type of room it is necessary to select the corresponding antiseptic agent.
2. For outdoor work. This category includes antiseptic impregnations and finishing agents intended for processing outdoor wood surfaces. They are distinguished by wear resistance and resistance to aggressive impact. Formulations for outdoor use have a specific sharp odor, resistant to elevated moisture, low temperatures and ultraviolet. They are better not to use for internal works.

Choosing a better antiseptic

Effective wood protection depends on which antiseptic was selected. To select suitable antiseptic compositions for wood, it is important to take into account some factors:

• Manufacturer;
• Structure;
• Purpose and area of \u200b\u200buse;
• Species of wood;
• Consumption per sq.m.;
• Influence on the human body;
• Quality certificates;
• Cost.

A reliable antiseptic for wood should have a high toxicity indicator in relation to mold, fungus and malicious microorganisms.

An indicator of protecting ability is no less important. So wood protection may not be effective, average efficiency, efficient and high efficiency.

Ready drug must fully comply with the degree of wood damage. In accordance with this characteristic, the antiseptic can be used for pure, not infected, having a slight infection and highly infected wooden surfaces.

Impregnation for internal work should have a corresponding sanitary conclusion about full harmlessness for indoor use. Preparations for external work should differ in high levels of resistance to low temperatures and ultraviolet radiation.

What antiseptic drug is considered high-quality? The one that is well applied to the surface and compatible with any paintwork material.

Before buying, you should carefully read the instructions for use and check the shelf life of the drug.

It is worth abandoning the acquisition of antiseptics of unknown manufacturers with the lack of necessary quality certificates, because the high cost is not always a quality indicator.

Antiseptic with their own hands

A protective antiseptic agent for wood can be prepared independently, which will be released much cheaper by purchased analogues. Most often, homemade antiseptic compositions are prepared from iron vapor and sodium fluoride.

Vitriolic

In the bulk plastic container, pour out 100 g of iron vigor and 10 g of mangartee. Add 20 liters of water and stir carefully. The finished composition is applied to the treated surface with a bruster or roller.

Sodium

For the preparation of the antiseptic, 25 kg of sodium fluoride and 400 liters of water will be required.

It is better to apply the mixture to the wooden surface by the method of airless staining. After drying, the wood is thoroughly polished with a petal circle and is treated with finish protective impregnations - oil, varnish or wax.

The difference between homemade and factory antiseptic preparations is only in the components that are used for their production.

The finished factory impregnation is more efficient due to the high content of organic components. It is toxic for the human body and animal, therefore should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

The compositions prepared with their own hands are less practical and effective, while saving money. Home biosoff is available in cooking, eco-friendly and safe for humans. To determine which antiseptic will be the best, it is worth considering all the conditions for its use.

Proper wood treatment with antiseptic

The technique of treating surfaces made of wood is quite simple, but, nevertheless, it is important to remember about safety measures when working with chemicals of this type.

For work, special protective clothing, mask, rubber gloves and impregnation for wood will be required.

1. The surface is thoroughly cleaned from the old coating, garbage and dust. Next, wood is processed by soft detergents and is dry.
2. The antiseptic mixture is applied to damaged areas using a brush or roller. The following layers are applied 2-3 hours after complete drying of the first layer. Full drying of the processed surfaces can last from 3 days to 2 weeks.
3. All wood processing work is better to spend at a temperature of +5 (for organic, oil and combined compositions) and at +10 (for water-soluble). Air humidity is at least 85%.
4. To destroy insects, it is better to use alcohol compositions that are poured into the holes made by pests with a special syringe. Next, the surface is processed by the selected antiseptic.

Repeated protection of wood by antiseptics is carried out in the case of the appearance of chips, cracks and changes in the color of the surface.

The main destructive factors that reduce the strength and visual value of the tree include, damage to microorganisms (mushrooms) and. All negative impacts are interconnected between themselves and are most intensively proceeding with high humidity. To increase the stability of wood to the destructive effect of the environment, an integrated approach is used, which consists in reducing and impregnation with chemical reagents.

The use of antiseptic compositions prevents the appearance of collections and bugs, and accelerates the process of restoring the structure of the product after complex cleaning or repair. Applied tools are independent or factory manufacturing. Factory mixtures are considered to be the most effective and usually contain substances of organic origin. They are more toxic for the body and require strict compliance with recommendations for use.

The compositions prepared with their own hands are often no less effective, but they cost significantly cheaper. The complexity of the preparation of antiseptics for tree processing is low. It is important to use the means of protecting hands and face (gloves and masks), as you have to deal with a large amount of substances. The composition of the solution depends on the purposes that are placed before the protection of wood, and the methods of its use.

Are bituminous and salt mixtures safe?

Part of the compositions for antiseptic impregnation is used for deep wood protection, beaten in the ground. More sparing action have mixes for processing external surfaces of the house or arbor, as well as interior decoration.

Antiseptics for the most effective protection are non-aqueous mixtures based on spent engine oil or bitumen. The advantages of such compositions:

• a viscous coating of heavy petroleum products effectively protects the product from the penetration of moisture and oxygen;
• anaerobic medium protected by bitumen tree stops the development of bacteria and mushrooms, destroying the already existing colonies of microorganisms;
• in the treated bitumen or oil, the trees can not appear insects. For their existence, only weakened (entitled) wood and the absence of harmfulness for any organism of resins and hydrocarbons is necessary.

Processed by heavy petroleum products (often with the addition of substances of the coke-chemical nature), the tree does not deteriorate in the earth for years. It is enough to recall the telegraph poles that stand for decades without a hint of rotting.

Disadvantages of preparation and use of resin (bitumen) and oil mixtures:

• toxicity of components;
• easy flammability with improper preparation;
• high groin of compositions that are almost impossible to be removed when entering clothes;
• unpleasant odor;
• the inability to use due to unpleasant odor and toxicity indoors.

Traditional mixtures for wood processing are aqueous solutions of salts - sodium fluoride and copper sulfate or iron sulfate. Their low concentrations are used to cover the outer and inner parts of wooden structures and finishing items. More rich compositions help protect the swelled piles or boards.

The advantages of salt aqueous solutions:

• less toxicity than non-aqueous impregnation. The greatest danger represents only copper sulfate (copper sulphate) capable of cause severe poisoning when swallowing;
• simplicity and cooking safety. Heating the mixture on open fire is not more dangerous than the usual campfire breeding;
• easy in transportation. Bitumen or oil is more difficult to transport to the place of use, and the salts are easily transported at any distances.

The disadvantages of aqueous antiseptics include:

• a smaller degree of wood protection than non-aqueous viscous mixtures;
• the ability to wash water after use;
• the need to apply insulating coatings to secure effect.

All protective drugs should be applied on the territory of the household economy with caution, especially during the harvest. Contacts of fetus substances can lead to poisoning, so work on the preparation and application of the antiseptic means should be carefully thought out.

Tree impregnation: main components and cooking process

Wood Treatment Bitumen

The drug includes not only bitumen, but also a dilute - diesel fuel or gasoline. The bitumen containing the diem will have a long time to stick and will have time to impregnate the treated surface. The use of gasoline accelerates the hardening time and is useful for temporary restrictions on work.

Diluents for bitumen are sold at gas stations, and spent oil can be purchased at maintenance stations. Bitumen is bought in construction stores or on construction sites. The officially sold bitumen is more viscous and is well packaged, which improves its transportation.

Buying and using gasoline, use only a metal container. Static electricity from polymer containers can cause fire and burns .

In addition to the source components, it is necessary to have:

• capacity for heating bitumen;
• device (stops) for fixing the container above the bone or burner;
• metal stirrer.

The process of preparing bitumen composition is as follows:

1. bitumen is poured into a metal container and set over the alleged source of open fire;
2. turn on the burner or burn the fire, gradually increasing heating;
3. heated bitumen until a complete dilution, periodically stirring for dissolving lumps;
4. fire extinguishes after bringing bitumen to a weakly visual state and assign the container with it to the side;
5. small portions add a solvent, controlling its splashing due to heating. Gasoline will actively evaporate, so you should wait until the mixture is cool.

The proportions of bitumen and diluent depend on the initial state of the bitumen. The main criterion is the foundation of the final mixture in the liquid state at room temperature. The content of diesel fuel or gasoline is usually about 20-30% of the total mass, but it may vary depending on the nature of the viscous component.

If the heating bitumen is fast, then the mixture can foam and fire through the edge of the container directly on fire. This is due to the presence in the water bitumen. Slow heating will stop this process and allow water to quietly throw out.

The cooking time of the bitumen preparation takes several hours. Depending on the amount of work, you can cope in two hours or spend all day. The resulting mixture is a viscous mass, which has high adhesion with any wood surface. Leaving for long-term storage bitumen is not worth it, spending it immediately after cooling and diluted with easier petroleum products.

Cooking the mixture is followed exclusively on the street in order not to imagine harmful couples and do not arrange a random fire. Apply a bitumen antiseptic follows with brushes with long handles. You can also immerse a part of the tree into the container with the solution. After drying, the bituminous layer is very difficult to damage, so products become suitable for instillation into the ground.

Preparation of the water mixture and wood processing process with copper vigorous

Salt solutions in water are prepared by dissolving the specified amount of salt in heated water. Heating is needed to increase the speed and completeness of dissolution. There are various proportions to process wood fluoride sodium and iron or copper vitrios:

• for the impregnation of wooden surfaces of household structures, a weak solution of sodium fluoride is used. Its content ranges from 0.5 to 4% (from 50 to 400 g per 10 liters of water), depending on the design destination. Inside the house, it is enough to use less concentrated mixtures, whereas on the street (arbors, benches) is better to use saturated solutions. For visual control of the completeness of applying to the resulting solution, 10 g of potassium permanganate (manganese) is added. The intensive color will not be resistant and will disappear shortly after the surface is coated. Apply the solution is a pulverizer or a wide brush;
• for the processing of blurred posts and structures, sulfate mixtures were used with the content of the target component 10-20% (1-2 kg per 10 liters of water). Such formulations require a particularly thorough drying and prolonged impregnation time to improve the effect of application. The quality of application of the antiseptic is controlled by the degree of coloring of the product, which contributes to the saturated color of the vigorous solution. In the resulting preparation, parts of wood, which will be further subjected to negative external influence.

To prepare the aqueous mixture, you will need a source of hot water, a cooking container and a blade for mixing. The use of the solution after settling makes it possible to load it into the device for splashing, improving the uniformity of the coating and reducing the flow rate of the reagents. You can apply impregnation immediately after cooling. Solutions can be stored a few days before the establishment of suitable weather conditions.

Preparation of aqueous solutions can be held at home or on the street. At home, you need to be especially careful not to shed excess solutions on things or in hard-to-reach slots. The total cooking time antiseptic rarely takes more than an hour.

To avoid errors in the dosage of components, study the characteristics of the wood that is going to process. There are complex approaches to the processing, including cutting of a layer of wood and the coating with lacquer impregnated with surface salts.

Comparison of purchased and self-made antiseptics

The advantages of the solution made by their own hands:

• less cost;
• high efficiency in the case of bituminous or oil composition;
• smaller toxicity;
• the minimum probability of buying falsified products.

Advantages of purchased factory-made drugs:

• the greatest efficiency;
• easy cooking (ready after mixing with water or by a non-aqueous solvent);
• selectivity impact.

The choice of wood processing tools remains for its user. The quality of the resulting wood protection when using self-made impregnation can give up more expensive factory mixtures. To use inside the house it is advisable to buy a complex tool that will not only have an antiseptic, but also a fire action.

Antiseptics cooked with their own hands are at times cheaper than ready-made commercial compounds and have good efficiency. The scope of such mixtures is not limited to outer operations and includes a number of compositions for use inside the house. The degree of protection can be adjusted to the thickness of the applied impregnation layer and the concentration of its aqueous solution, providing suppressing any effects that destroy the tree.

Today, more and more often, and more often the question arises about the mandatory protection of the design of the tree. This problem is very topical. After all, wooden houses, buildings do not lose their relevance. The tree at the beginning of the 21st century remains 1st from the running materials in the construction of structures, although the modern market offers the attention of buyers a variety of modern building materials. The builders of individual buildings prefer the tree. The reason is that the tree is very pleasant and comfortable material. It goes by itself, a person is comfortable in aura of natural material. Natural conditions for well-being are favorable.

No first year attempts are being made to extend the service life. Man Impacting the ages of its housing from the fire elements, fearing preventing the rotting of wood. The protection of structures made of wood can be achieved using cosmetic paint mixes and specialized impregnation-flames, and antiseptic drugs. Fungus, humidity, mold, worms will not be harmful to wooden structures, if they are pre-coated with protective substances.

Buying material for the impregnation of a wooden structure you need to rely on the following criteria:

• determine the unreliability of what degree and type;
• that in one way or another is the most dangerous (moisture or fire);
• we define the tree of wood

Mandatory postulate - Proper drying and preparation of sawn timber. And also evaluate the degree of popularity. For example, a protective staining procedure will be in advance. Also in advance will check for compatibility of selected varnishes and paints with such means as glue and lime.

We focus with terms, during which work will go. We consider additional manipulations on the preservation of the tree. What varnishes and paints will apply. Must with the wooden structures from external factors can be using various compositions. So the physical qualities and properties of wood are preserved.

Paintings can be divided into 2 classes:

1. Special purpose - to protect the tree.
2. Cosmetic destination - finishing.

Paints - homogeneous synthesis of dyes dissolved in binding mixtures capable of forming a protective film on the painted plane. It is better to paint with a thin layer using rollers, brushes or a spray gun. In the course of drying, the process of formation of the coating is underway. This coating matte, there is a porous or film. Just this coating and protects the surface from the chemicals, sun rays, moisture. If the goal is to protect the facade of buildings, the positive effect will be possible only when taking into account the surface features and operating conditions. For this reason, the release of multifunctional paints for painting facade is worked out, and still developed tools for finishing and processing.

Today, decorative materials are produced with protective qualities. In terms of decor, most protective products are impeccable.

So, varnishes and paints, which cover the surfaces of the tree, are divided into items:

1. Substances with specialized protective qualities.
2. Coloring substances with cosmetic and protective qualities.
3. Lucky with protection properties and scenery.
4. Toning properties.

Materials with specific protective qualities are used if necessary to protect the surface from harmful environmental factors. They are divided into a group of anti-epims and antiseptics.

Release special chemical. The compositions with antimicrobial properties gave a huge push in the sphere of construction of wood structures. These substances are referred to as antiseptics.

With their help, it is possible to protect wood 100% of grindness, mold, fungi, bacteria.

Advantages of applying antiseptics:

• Wooden structure will not eaten insects.
• You can not fear the appearance of blue.
• Cracks also rarely appear after coating by antiseptics.
• The treated surface serves as the basis for painting in the future.

Requirements for antisepticam

• For antiseptics used to protect wood from the action of biodactors, significantly resistance.
• They should be resistant to moisture, water absorption is also unacceptable.
• Antiseptics must be safe for people's health and health.
• After spraying with antiseptics, the further color should not be problematic.
• The processing of disinfecting agents occurs in the workshops by impregnation inside the container. This protective layer is allowed to apply directly at the construction site.

Operating principle

An antiseptic effect technology is extremely simple. When applied to the wood surface, it seeps deep into 5-7 mm. As a result, a film is formed, warning the destruction of the tree in the future.

But the science of chemistry does not stand still. The materials that not only protect the tree were invented, but also can heal the affected areas.

If the goal is the maximum protection of the construction of wood, then it is reasonable to use the antiseptic on the final steps of processing. That is, after milling, drilling, planing of the product.

Types of foundations

The antiseptic base happens:

• water,
• oil.

A coal resin is counted to an oil basis, diesel fuel. The presence of fluorine mg and zn compounds, copper sulfate, ammonium salts denotes that the antiseptic means based on water. Such mixtures, first dissolving in water, it is necessary to spray on the surface of wood with a brush or a sprayer.

Butter-based antiseptics is optimal than to separate a tree exposed to high humidity, for example, used to protect the foundation, pillars. It is not difficult to deal with such a chemical composition, it is necessary to fill the container. Heat at T \u003d 80 O and place in it wood. The easiest way is that. It is necessary to burn the surface of the tree, that it became dark. The burnt part of the tree will protect the deepened zones from rotting. More details must be closed by rubberoid, polyethylene, resin.

Optimal defense - copper vigor. In 20% solution, it is necessary to immerse the product from wood, withstand the day, and after it is thoroughly dried (month approximately).

Chloroform for wood

Chloroform - excellent protection of wood from worms. The season of use of this chemical is the warm season. Processing passes through stages - 1 time / 2nd. If the surface managed to "eat" a worm, then it is necessary to handle the affected places with a protective mixture.

From mycosis formations we get rid of mechanical. First, the surface spoiled with the fungus is cleaned with the help of scrapers (or other tools), and then it is burned. Then the tools and the affected place is disinfected. To prevent recurrence, the site must be dried, and after smearing an antiseptic on an oil basis.

Table. Comparative table of antiseptics.

Fire protection

How not to twist, but the main minus of all wooden structures is easy flammability and burning. How to make the construction difficult to burn? This is achieved by special compositions for flame retardants, which soak wood. Antipirens also contributes to the fire preserving, which are impregnated by wood.

They consist of acidic solutions and active substances. 2 postulates underlie the reaction: decomposition and melting of fusible materials. They distinguish gas formation that prevent combustion process. Antipirens are introduced into the wood construction by impregnation in large bowls (vessels) or treatment on the surface (for example, brush).

The flame retardant mixtures are not a rack to the abundance of water, it follows from this that, having impregnated wood, it is necessary to turn again to be resistant to moisture varnishes and paints.

By competent use of modern funds, it is possible to achieve reliable protection of its wooden structure from the harmful effects of external factors. And then your home, cottage, the bath will be in good condition.

materials on the topic

The unique improved paint for the Olympic Maximum ® Weather-Ready tree is made according to a special technology that provides the perfect painting of wooden surfaces, even with a strong humidity that can be applied to the surface with almost any weather conditions, and in the heat, and in the cold, and even if the wood Wet. And all this now has become possible in a shorter period of time. Thanks to the unique paint Olympic Maximum ® Weather-Ready, painting a wooden surface will no longer depend on weather conditions and consumers will not have to wait for good weather for painting work. This paint opens up more opportunities in front of you, and you can engage in the painting wooden flooring when it is convenient for you, and not when the weather is allowed.

Fashion on natural materials in the construction, production of products from furniture, finishing the interiors has already become a tradition. And it is wood that continues to remain in the trend due to its environmental and aesthetic properties. But, unlike artificial materials, wooden coatings and structures can deteriorate under the influence of adverse environmental factors such as moisture, direct sunlight.

Natural building materials are always in trend, regardless of innovations in the construction market. This material has incomparable qualities, it is perfectly handling, is durable, but at the same time, it is easy, keeps warm - that a lot is important in modern conditions, it has a pleasant smell.

Wood requires a careful relationship and a serious approach before starting work. This material of capricious and errors do not forgive.

Before starting work with wood, it is customary to carefully treat the compositions of antiseptics, which are in a subsequent design from rotten, fungi, mold, injuries from insects and other things. Modern antiseptics "laid" the function of flame retardants. Antiseptics are used to protect the surface of the color qualities of the color qualities, preserving a natural shade. The antiseptic gives the structure of the tree expressiveness, protects against ultraviolet radiation. But the most important antiseptic impregnation allows the tree to "breathe."

Classification by type

Antiseptic compositions for wood there are many, classified according to the composition:

• Oil
• Water soluble
• Combined compounds
• Organic compositions

Oil compositions are applicable in the area where the level of humidity is increased so that the tree does not spoil the humidity. But this impregnation increases the flammability and has an unpleasant, steady fragrance, which holds for a long time.

In the photo: Oil antiseptic for wood

Compositions based on water-soluble components are suitable for preventive work. With their help, sections of the surface of the tree, which have contact with water are processed. After processing such an antiseptic, wood must dry at least 12 hours so that the tree does not deform or crack. After applying the water-soluble antiseptic, another layer of the lesing antiseptic is applied, which is characterized by decorative properties, gives aesthetics a tree and serves as additional protection.

The organic compositions are suitable for wood processing, both in the inside of the room and in the external one. Such antiseptics are designed to perform hydrophobic and adhesive functions.

Substones of the selection

The choice of antiseptic task is simple, if you take into account some moments, namely, correlate wood according to its breed:

• Unstable wood species prone to rot. It is birch, aspen, alder, linden and cloth linden.
• Low-resistant, no excessive reliability and durability. This is Elm, Maple, Oak and Beech.
• Mediterranean, resist rotting processes. This is a spruce, fir, cedar and larch swamp.
• Resistant rocks that have proven themselves with durability and reliability, durability and practically lack of rotting. This is pine, oak and larch core, ash.

It is customary to divide the material, depending on how well it takes impregnation:

• Laborized. This is a kernel of ate, oak, birch and ash.
• MiddlePropy. It is maple, oak and linden swolm, pine kernel, aspen.
• Low-populated. This is Birza Collot, Pine and Beech.

Sorting antiseptics

Like the material itself, the antiseptics have a classification relative to their direct destination. Allocate:

Antiseptics containing substances designed to carry out prevention are used at the initial stage of construction in order to process the tree even before it becomes part of the design. In such a material, in two layers, cover wood, while waiting for each layer to absorb and miss. After that, wood is covered with primer, if necessary, painted.

Antiseptics are distributed relative to their destination area. Among them, antiseptics are distinguished:

• For internal work
• For external work

Treatment of wood inside the residential building allows you to find the material with a thin film that resists the evaporation of toxic substances. This is important, since the source material and tenants of the house are protected. Such an antiseptic has perfectly proven itself as a reliable defender, they are distinguished by persistence and do not require annual prevention. The use of antiseptics for internal work provides a clear observance of the placement of the room. So, if the surface of the tree is processed in the room where the humidity is increased and there can be high temperatures, then the antiseptic must comply with these requirements, which can be found in the necessary papers provided by the manufacturer.

In the photo: Antiseptic for internal works

It is important not to save on the antiseptic, in particular for internal work, so as not to twitch the health of people or animals in this room. The impregnation is applied to the carefully polished and purified surface at a temperature of at least +5 C. The composition is light-flammable, so it is important to comply with security techniques. Preventive treatment with an antiseptic composition in rooms with high humidity is needed in three years. If you use an antiseptic, specially intended for such premises, prevention can be "moved" for 6 years.

The re-applying of the antiseptic composition is possible after careful cleaning of the surface from the previous layer, due to the easy grinding of the tree surface.

Wood processing composition

The compositions for the impregnation of wood outdoors are designed for surface outdoors, and therefore, they differ in a sharp smell that leaves after the final drying. Such antiseptics perfectly transfer moisture and radiation of ultraviolet. Can be divided into several subspecies:

• Impregnation. They are intended to penetrate the structure of the tree, destroying fungal formations on their way, mold and livestock.
• Finish coating. It is intended to protect the impregnation from premature weathering.

Both impregnation and finishes are used separately from each other.

Feature antiseptics for wood

The efficiency of using antiseptic compositions, as well as their durability, primarily depends on the observance of some subtleties. Namely, it should be treated with an antiseptic fresh drink of wood in autumn or spring. This is determined by the fact that in the spring in the tree there are active in the way, which means the tree is subject to the appearance of mold and the growth of fungal formations. The material unprepared from the spring, by the summer it can be a trace of rain, together with the rays of the sun, contribute to the fact that wooden fibers dry out, and the tree itself cracks and agitates. Such a tree will not differ in durability.

Antiseptic compounds requires care and clear observance of application technology. Wooden surfaces must be dried and clean. They are pre-treated with a solution of White spirit and a metal scraper. Processing starts from the end, small details, smoothly passing to the transverse intersection.

Working with an antiseptic, take into account the ambient temperature, since for organic compositions, the optimal temperature is +5 from the degree, the water-soluble compositions suffer the temperature of +10 s, with the humidity of the air should be at least 80%.

When choosing Antiseptic, it is important to pay attention to the validity period that can be from 5 to 10 years.

Wooden designs will be connected to the metal fasteners. The antiseptic should not initiate their corrosion, before purchased, it is necessary to find out.

There are antiseptics, designed for "conservation". This means that they can reliably protect the wooden structure at all stages of construction, during transportation and storage of sawn timber. For example, if the material lies with autumn, and the construction will be restored in the spring, the lumber treated with such preservative antiseptic composition will be under reliable protection. In addition, substances in the composition of the antiseptic do not change the original color of the wood, will prevent the growth of fungi and affect other microorganisms. The sawn timber will "breathe", while maintaining positive properties until the moment of use.

Choosing an antiseptic composition, pay attention to some parameters, namely:

• Possible shades. After all, the tree under the action of the antiseptics can change color. Because it is necessary to pay attention to the type of antiseptics when buying. These may be neutral compositions, compositions that give the lacquer surface with a tree or creation compositions.
• Treatment time composition. So, if you need to be superior to creating protection on wood, you need to choose a composition with increased adhesion into the structure of the tree.
• By influence. There are complex compositions, and there are compositions intended in the fight against something one, with fungal formations, against mold damage.

Tips of professionals

Modern sawn timber, of course, not all that are available on sale are processed by antiseptic still at the factory. Such treatment is good, as it is used in autoclaves, which means that the material has durable protection and good quality. It is better to clarify this before purchasing, so that it is not regretting the irreversible processes in the created design.

It is important to note that wood is susceptible to fungi in the first three years of use. It was during this period that it is customary to carefully treat the corresponding compositions. In parallel, after processing, it must be carefully viewed for the presence of neoplasms and other things. When revealing bacterial activity on the surface of the tree, it is necessary to make immediate measures to curb the growth of bacteria, due to the reducing composition of the antiseptic, as well as to limit the contact of the patient lumber from healthy.

The antiseptic composition is applied to any type of tree, but it should be understood that a tree that is characterized by softness will absorb more composition than solid. Accordingly, the difference and consumption of composition. It is also important to take into account that soft trees have resin pockets, which subsequently violate protection due to resin sublishes. The treatment of bitch and pockets is important before applying the antiseptic to the surface of such a tree.

The next dangerous enemy is insects. Among them are housekeeping beetles, trees and cores, Usachi, who mercilessly eat a wooden structure. The danger of such a living nature is not only in adults, but also in their larvae. A thoroughly treated with an antiseptic design will help to get rid of them, top-coated with a protective layer. And it is better to prevent the appearance of animals - the prophylactic impregnation with antiseptic compositions.

The system approach, according to specialists, will allow to achieve the preservation of the properties of the tree. A timely update of the antiseptic layer will allow you to maintain wooden structures for many years.

If you are an ecology adherent, take care of your health and prefer to use wood as a building material, then in any case you will come across the concept of its protection. After all, wood - living material that is inclined to rot, root and collapse without constant moisture to moisture and nutrients from the depths of the earth.

This will help you with a modern antiseptic for the tree and its varieties, and which one and for what purposes is suitable more - we will tell now.

Why wood antiseptation?

What is antiseptation? It is impregnated wood with various chemicals that can be preserved from the inside. But why such a convenient building material "preserve"? Now we will try to explain.

Interesting fact: wood in its structure is similar to reinforced concrete design. It also consists of "reinforcing" and "concrete" - two main compounds, cellulose and lignin. Cellulose is a polymer, linear structure, but the lignin has a developed multidimensional structure. Lignin, like concrete, has high compressive strength, and cellulose ensures wood flexibility.

That is why, building a house from a tree, it is important to remember that you are working with living material, and all living materials are subject to the laws of nature. In the process of its development, the tree from inorganic compounds form organic, and after the end of its life, the fabric begin to be processed by saprophytes, in the people called fungi.

Mushrooms are powered by extreme wood fibers and convert them again into minerals. At the same time, the mushrooms distinguish special enzymes and makes myceliums with a dispute, for which a certain temperature is needed, oxygen, nutrients and water.

And these mushrooms are divided into two main groups - woodworking and trees.

The first develops only on the wood of natural humidity and give her shade of blue, redness, yellowness or greens, while remaining mainly in the chlorine wood and only occasionally penetrated into the core. Distant when heated is more than 80 ° C, and with their lives of significant influence on the strength of the wood do not provide, because they are not able to destroy Lignin. Therefore, the very presence of a ugly shade of wood is more likely a sign of violation of the transportation and storage of lumber.

But the presence of wood wood mushrooms often testifies to the risk of the fact that the same material is also infected with the trees of the same kind. Even remember that the wood-painting mushrooms are often masked by rot. But just the wood crashing mushrooms are able to destroy the wood completely, converting into Truhu and humus, and this is a natural natural process as you remember.

That is why in the process of production of building material for home it is subjected to the conditions for the development of fungi: a rigid dryer, high temperature, as well as the use of carefully selected chemicals.

Here we are talking about the antispectics:

Types and types of modern antiseptics for wood

Let's figure out a little with the concept of antiseptic. Often, under him, the people imply paintwork material, which will protect wood from biological impact. But in fact, it is an impregnating soil, which impresses the material with a special composition and is called upon to give it additional properties.

This impregnation provides protection from the blue, mold, fungus and minor lovers to swap cellulose. And the deeper the impregnation penetrates into the wood, the more reliable protection it provides.

In modern antiseptic preparations applied Two main types of substances:

• oxidifierswhich destroy the cells of mushrooms.
• fonggicides., as organic and inorganic compounds: salts of heavy metals, copper and derivatives of phenols.

Unlike oxidizing agents, fungicides block the enzymes of mushrooms and prevent their nutrition, in one word, forcing those hungry. And all antiseptics - liquid consistency. This is necessary in order for that to be able to penetrate into the tree as deeply as possible.

Colorlessness vs. Toning: What is rational?

If you are already handling wood with an antiseptic, it will never be the same color as before. Therefore, why would it be purposefully damped to the surface of the tree in the desired shade, which will be successfully combined with the rest of the interior or exterior?

For example, the same manufacturer Tikkurila Releases colorless biocidal antiseptics that are designed for deep penetration inside wood. But those should be additionally protected by water-repellent composition, so that the antiseptic was not washed out over time.

Basically, If you need just processing, without subsequent coloring, any antiseptic is suitable for you.. After all, there are those after which in the future wood should not be covered by another word - it is supplied to the impregnation of sleepers or telegraph pillars.

And in general, the very presence of antiseptics often serves as a certain problem for future paint. Therefore, modern manufacturers offer a comprehensive-color-painted material, which already has universal protection against microorganisms - biocides. Although, like any universal version, such solutions are not always the best result, especially if the lumber was brought problematic.

As for the color itself, you are to maintain a natural shade of wood, choose azure coating. For example, this is released by a well-known firm and is called it. Illumina.. This is a special azure coating that can be used both indoors and outside. It is colorful, and only emphasizes the natural structure of the tree. But from colorless for interior decoration is suitable Azure"OT Belinka.

But consider that the color itself, besides the aesthetic component, it still protects the wood from burnout, and helps more carefully cover the surface with an antiseptic composition, which is not missing a centimeter anywhere. Therefore, so that in the process of wood processing you do not have randomly missed places, add a dye to the solution for a tissue to the solution: about 50 g per 100 liter of solution. Divide the dye in a small amount of water and pour into a cooked solution.

Basis: Water, acrylic or organic?

All modern antiseptics are divided into three main groups: water-based (water-soluble), based on impregnating oil (oily) and based on organic solvents (organic solve). Water soluble antiseptics include fluorid and silicon sodium, ammonium, copper pentachlorophenol, and so on. And to the oily - coal antiseptic, creoshot, anthracene and shale oil.

Also, according to its properties, they are determined in the group of unbearable, hard-on and easily washed. Only oily antiseptics and those that are based on organic solvents, and all other are water-soluble compositions.

To achieve the desired effect in terms of penetration of wood, manufacturers knead antiseptic solutions on alkyd, silicone and acrylic basis:

Solvent-based antiseptics Forms elastic waterproof, but at the same time a vapor-permeable film with good protective properties. Such antiseptics are remarkably suitable for those wooden surfaces that are subject to constant mechanical exposure, as a staircase, railing and terraced flooring. And after applying such an antiseptics, they are then allowed to cover with wear-resistant waterproof varnish.

Water based antiseptics - These are products on an acrylic basis, odorless and solvent. Such and fire and explosion-proof, without problems are applied to wet wood and have excellent properties. The only moment: their color becomes final already after complete drying, and therefore designers do not like to mess with them, because it is impossible to predict the accurate result.

And here silicone considered an antiseptic of a new generationwhich combines the best qualities of previous options. They produce such an antiseptic of silicon, and so does not burn and is not toxic in the fire. Silicone does not decompose with time and biologically neutral, and therefore the composition is also used for interior and wood outside.

Still a couple of important moments. Silicone has excellent water repellent properties, but at the same time "breathes", elastic and stretched-shrinking with wood, while not cracking, in contrast to its analogues. At the same time, in silicone impregnation, the particles are small and penetrate deeply, protecting wood and inside. Also quickly dries, in just 2 hours, because its vapor permeability here is higher than that of antiseptics on an acrylic and alkyd basis. Due to which he serves twice as long.

Application method: immersion or spraying

Antiseptics are also divided by the method of applying them. For example, most often we are talking about only two main ways: superficial, for which you need brushes or hydropult, and deep, when wood is immersed completely in a hot or cold solution.

It depends here much on what kind of breed wood will be processed and what part of it. For example, ripe and I am firewood and wood coniferous rocks are always poorly impregnated with antiseptics under normal conditions, but wonderful - when heated to 95 ° and 100 ° C:

The dry wood is best impregnated with organic or aquatic fluids, but some solutions will be distributed in it with great difficulty, while breaking down and lingering on the surface zone in the form of salt.

But if the wood is preserved in raw form, it is easy to soak water-soluble antiseptics. These are reacted with inner wood moisture. So, the most easily impregnated pine swaths, beech and birch.

Successful selection: how to choose an antiseptic for a specific task?

All modern antiseptics are strictly divided into groups for outdoor or indoor.

Let us explain more. No antiseptic for wood designed for external work is not allowed. apply for interior. Because such contain often toxic substances that are released into the air, and if it is not dangerous in the open air, then in the conditions of a closed room - even very.

And vice versa, cannot be used as an internal impregnation of an antiseptic for outdoor coating. The fact is that inside the house, in warm and secure conditions, wooden surfaces are not experiencing such rigid climatic and operational loads, as in the open sky, and therefore, much longer retain their properties. Move this wooden element into the street, long it will not remain protected.

What to protect the wood immediately after the church?

Separate, the most popular type of antiseptics is to protect the timber in humidity conditions.

For example, if some part of the wooden structure is in the ground, for which the SENEZ Ultra solutions, Nomid 440 or Aqua Color are perfectly suitable. They will need to be applied to a clean dry surface in several layers and give each layer time on drying at least 7 hours.

Next, there are special means for wood natural moisture level. Such antiseptics penetrate deeply and do not wash out over time. And the wood itself acquires a light light greenish tint. These are antiseptics " Sezhen Trans.», « Neomide 460."And" Phystet." Also quite popular antiseptic from Roggeds « Aquatex.", Which is allowed to apply with wood moisture to 40%.

In general, most antiseptics are intended for wood with humidity up to 40%, but water-soluble antiseptics are not used in wood, which has a humidity less than 35%. The fact is that the water-soluble antiseptic requires moisture that is in the thicker of wood. And, if there is no such, then from such antiseptics for a deep penetration tree should not be expected.

But consider that the different breed of wood absorbs the antiseptic is not equally. For example, water absorption in an unprotected surface is 3 times larger than its vapor permeability. Also, the material from pine during the color of the antiseptic can consume a different amount of this material - depending on which part of the wood was processed.

For example, the upper part of it is already impregnated with a resin itself, and therefore the flow rate of the antiseptic will be less than when working with a rounded log. And therefore, when processing an antiseptic, it is important to create inside the fibers of such conditions, where then fungal diseases or small ones will not develop. Such properties can also boast the company Belinka With its product BASE - This is an organic soluble antiseptic on an alkyd basis, which is designed for deep penetration.

Therefore, the most ideal base for antiseptics is a dry wood with a humidity of 20%. It is in it that the ground will penetrate the maximum depth, and further further finish coating. But you will have to tinker with such a type of wood, like a spherical block house or log, in which the upper hemisphere is less susceptible to moisturizing. Those. They seem to resist the penetration of the soil, and it is important to take into account.

What formulations are suitable for processing rafters?

As you know, there is a special scope of construction, where the wood applied is in the indoor room, nor in the open sky is the roof.

In fact, if you built a rafter system correctly, the processing of the rafter by an antiseptic is optional. Why? In theory, such a design does not need protection against fire, moisture or insects. Those, if the design turned out competent, then there will be no more condensate between the rafters than 100 g / m 2, and even those small drops will easily discern from the design. If this condition was not achieved, then the rafters will rot, despite all their protection. Therefore, it is better to take into account all possible risks so that the roof is not "led."

So, by defining which antiseptic for a tree is best for your situation, look at the climate of your area. For example, in a humid terrain, wood suffers more from fungus, and in arid - from bugs-tree-bugs. And if you build a roof, and they are going to treat rafters, then before the start of their mounting, we treat them with an antiseptic disinfecting composition from fungus.

Just do not cultivate rafters at once at once several drugs so that they do not react with each other! Among the suitable drugs with antiseptic call "Olympus", "Sezhezh", "Olds" and "Rognd".

Note separately also antiseptics for temporary protection, which are also remarkably suitable for processing rafters. Such are not colored wood, but at the same time they deeply penetrate into it and do not form a solid film.

Basically, such means are protected by lumber in the process of their storage, drying and transportation and their service life is designed for 6 months. For example, such a drug produces a company Senez - Imperatrice..

How to save boards and bars from fungus?

Modern antiseptics are not only good as prevention, but also able to treat material collapic from fungi. Among these, lay out the series from Tikkurila And antiseptic paste Paf-Ls.produced in St. Petersburg. Basically such antiseptics are necessary when there is a real threat that in wet conditions the fungus with infected boards will quickly cover the disputes all the neighboring wooden structures and objects.

According to the rules before purchasing an antiseptic, it is necessary to study the nature of the wood biological damage. You will be surprised, but microbiologists advise every 5 years to take a sample from the wood that you need to handle, and pass on the analysis to reveal, with which biological enemy you have to deal with.

The point is that microorganisms are adapted to a certain composition of the drug, and it makes no sense to apply the same antiseptic from time to time. It is much more rational to apply a new biocide every time so that the microbes do not have time to adapt to it.

If the wood is already amazed, then you should first use special compositions that cause a chemical burn in fungus. But consider that some of these bleachers themselves are strong oxidizing agents, and this leads to a rapid corrosion of samphs nails.

Also pay attention to the color of the wood: when it is amazed, it is painted with a decorated fungus. This part should first whiten, and only then apply a protective coating. Whitening is also useful because thanks to him discloses disguised as a fungus rot, it is only important after the end of whitening washed with wood with water.

Here is an interesting video on this topic:

By the way, it is rare, but still there are still on sale antiseptics without biocides, and they are designed more for toning than protection.

What is suitable for interior rooms?

We also note such a separate series as safe antiseptics for wooden baths and saunas. Here the sawn timber is exposed to not only moisture, but also high temperatures. In such conditions, ordinary drugs will not be effective, and use those that have a sharp smell can not be used. Indeed, in conditions of high temperatures, toxic substances will be released from such processed walls into the air!

That is why for such purposes Tikkurila Released special antiseptics for baths and saunas. In total, three domestic producers took such production, overseas analogues successfully constitute competition "SEZHEZH-SAUN" and "NOMIM 200":

Special antiseptics for baths are distinguished by the fact that deeply penetrate into the wood and form a water-repellent heat-resistant polymer coating with excellent antimicrobial properties. Moreover, such an antiseptic does not change even under the action of high temperatures.

What to choose for processing external walls, arbors and terraces?

Basically, the durability of wood products that are located in the open air will depend on a number of reasons, the main of which will be the location of the house and its orientation relative to the parties to the light.

For example, an antiseptic on the north side of the house will last longer than on the southern, where it gradually collapses under the influence of sunlight. For you, this means that the wooden walls on the open source will need to be processed more often than those hidden in the shade.

There are also special antiseptics for outdoor terraces, arbors and sites on sale. These are specialized formulations that are perfectly withstanding and constant temperature differences, and aggressive atmospheric precipitation. Among these we call the best Pinotex Natural and Pinotex Terrace Oil.

There are also special antiseptics for old and colored sawn timber. It is clear that no composition is quite deeply directly under the layer of paint can not be able to penetrate, so such liquids create on top of simply an additional protective film (although, of course, before starting work, it is still worth removing the old old layer). These are such antiseptics like "Valtti Tehno" or "Homeenpoystoy".

Comparison of brands: What manufacturer to give preference?

If you have already considered antiseptics in any construction supermarket, I probably noticed that different manufacturers still write about their products almost one: the same service life, protective properties from fungus, mold, wood bugs and ultraviolet radiation. Then what to choose?

In fact, modern antiseptics really differ more than the price than the properties listed. Let's highlight the three main price groups:

• Economy-class budget antiseptics are "Aquatex" and "Sezhezh".
• Antiseptics are more expensive - Tikkurila, Belinka. other.
• And finally, professional is DULUX, DCE, TEKNOS, WOODWORKS and similar to them.

It is logical that the more expensive the composition, the more long-term service it is designed. The difference here is essential: budget antiseptics are designed from a year to three, the middle class is from 5 to 6 years, and professional - up to 12 years.

Secrets of the latter that they consist immediately of several components: tinting compositions, soil-impregnation and varnish with a special ultraviolet filter. But the time for applying those will also need more, because everyone needs to be laid separately.

Let's look at some features of popular antiseptics today. So, in preparations for external use " Sezheng»Consumer borats, copper and chromic acid salts, water and other additives:

• Borates are known as one of the oldest disinfectants, but among the modern it is, of course, is not the strongest means.
• Chromic acid is an extremely toxic carcinogen, so right is considered the most acting antiseptic.
• Salts of plastic acid are also toxic and even stronger than chlorine.

That is why any drugs that are designed to handle wood from outside, in no case can be used inside the house due to their toxicity.

Next antiseptic - Hm-11.Compiled by a mixture of copper sulfate with potassium bichromate. This is a cheap, efficient and toxic agent.

And here " Neomid"Contains insecticides to scare insects, there is little dangerous for a person, but does not particularly affect the mold. It contains azoles - special antifungal drugs that stop the development of fungi. Also in " Neomid»Enter bociids in the growth of organisms. I.e " Neomid" differs from " Senezha"The fact that in uses more modern chemistry bordering the pharmacology.
