Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing durable treated wood, in which durable treated wood is produced by processing wood.

  Timber made of evergreen broad-leaved trees in rainforests such as Ipe and Urin, commonly called hardwood, is often used for structures such as terraces and balconies that are constructed outdoors. While such wood has high durability, it has a problem that it is difficult to process due to its hardness, and is unsuitable for use with high design. In addition, there was a problem that supply was unstable due to the danger of exhaustion due to illegal logging.

  On the other hand, domestic wood such as cedar and cypress has high processability, is suitable for various uses, has excellent weather resistance, and can be supplied continuously. Is being recognized again.

  In order to use such domestic wood for structures, etc., it is necessary to carry out processing to impregnate the wood with antiseptic and ant-preventing ant agents in order to prevent decay by decaying fungi and insect damage by termites. It is essential.

  For example, borate has long been known as a boric acid-based drug having an excellent antiseptic and ant-proofing effect. However, this boric acid-based chemical is easily leached by absorbing moisture inside the wood. Therefore, there is a problem that the effect can be maintained only in a dry environment that does not contact the ground and is not exposed to rain or water, and the application is limited. Moreover, since an active ingredient diffuses into a wood core part with the passage of time, the effect in the surface layer part of the boric acid-based chemicals decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to perform surface treatment periodically, and it takes time and effort for maintenance.

On the other hand, it is known that wood into which a copper-based chemical called ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quarter) is pressure-injected has antiseptic and ant-repellent properties (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
JP 2005-153494 A

  However, it is difficult for copper-based chemicals to penetrate deeply into wood with a high water content. In particular, domestic wood has a problem that copper-based chemicals are difficult to permeate and effects on the core cannot be obtained because they contain more moisture than hard wood. Moreover, since a copper type | system | group chemical | medical agent contains copper, there existed a problem that rust generate | occur | produced.

  Therefore, there has been a demand for a method for producing durable treated wood that maintains antiseptic and ant-proof properties over a long period of time and has excellent applicability.

  The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above points.

<Configuration 1>
The manufacturing method of the durability-treated wood according to the first invention includes a first injection step of pressurizing and injecting a copper-based chemical containing copper into the wood, a second injection step of injecting a boric acid-based chemical into the wood under reduced pressure, And an application step of applying a water repellent agent to the surface of the wood.

<Configuration 2>
The method for producing a durable-treated wood according to the second invention is characterized by including a perforating step for forming pores in the wood and an injecting step for injecting a boric acid-based chemical into the wood under reduced pressure.

  According to the method for producing a durable-treated wood of the present invention, the surface layer portion can be impregnated with a copper-based chemical and the core portion can be impregnated with a boric acid-based chemical. And durable treated wood that can suppress the occurrence of copper rust. Further, moisture absorption from the outside is suppressed by the water repellent treatment agent applied to the surface, so that the leaching of boric acid chemicals can be suppressed, and the antiseptic and ant repellant effects are maintained for a long time. Therefore, durability can be improved even for wood containing a large amount of moisture, and durable treated wood that is rich in workability and can be applied to a wide range of applications is realized.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, a cypress material obtained by processing cypress into a size of width 90 mm × height 90 mm × length 4 m is impregnated with an antiseptic ant agent to produce durable wood.
Japanese cypress is a domestic timber that is abundant in the country and can be supplied continuously, and has the characteristics of high moisture content and high processability.
In this embodiment, cypress is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, cedar or the like can be employed. In the present embodiment, a description will be given by taking a square as an example of the shape of the wood, but the present invention can also be applied to a log or a plate.

  In the present embodiment, ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quarter, product name: Maitrek, manufactured by CSI), which is a copper-based agent, and borate (product name: Tim), which is a boric acid-based agent, are used as agents to be impregnated into cypress wood. -Bor Industrial BORAX).

ACQ contains copper and a quaternary ammonium salt, and is a fixed type antiseptic ant agent that protects wood from corrosion by decaying fungi and insect damage such as termites.
On the other hand, borates, _DOT: a (disodium octaborate tetrahydrate _{Na 2 B 8 O 13 · 4H} 2 O) diffusion type of preservative termite agent composed mainly of.

  In this embodiment, silicon rubber (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) is used as the water repellent treatment agent applied to the surface of the cypress material.

Here, the manufacturing method of the durable process wood which concerns on this invention is demonstrated along the flowchart shown in FIG.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing durable treated wood according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, an insizing process is performed to a cypress material using an insizing processing apparatus (step S1).
An insizing processing apparatus forms many micropores from the upper, lower, left and right outer surfaces over the entire length of the cypress material. In the present embodiment, the insizing processing device forms a minute hole having a depth of about 10 mm.

Next, as a first injection step, ACQ is injected under pressure into the cypress material using an injection device (step S2).
First, a cypress material subjected to insizing processing is placed in an injection can of an injection device. And the inside of this injection can is exhausted and the cypress material is vented. Subsequently, an ACQ agent that is an ACQ aqueous solution is injected into the injection can, and the cypress material is immersed in the ACQ agent. And the ACQ chemical | medical agent in an injection can is pressurized. With this pressurization, the ACQ agent penetrates into the cypress material. At this time, the ACQ agent penetrates not only to the surface of the cypress material but also to the surface layer portion. Thereafter, the inside of the injection can is depressurized, and the remaining ACQ chemical is discharged.

  When the ACQ pressure injection is completed, the cypress material is taken out from the injection can of the injection device and dried (step S3).

Next, as a drilling process of the second injection process, the cypress material is drilled (step S4).
Over the entire length of the cypress material, pores having a constant depth are formed at regular intervals perpendicularly from one outer surface. In this embodiment, the pores having a diameter of 2.3 mm and a depth of 45 mm are formed in a row at intervals of 300 mm to 450 mm in the longitudinal direction of the cypress material.

And as a 2nd injection | pouring process, a borate is pressure-inject | poured into a hinoki material using an injection | pouring apparatus (step S5).
The cypress material is placed in a pressure-resistant container into which a borate agent that is an aqueous solution of borate is injected, and is immersed in the borate agent. Then, the pressure vessel is carried into an injection can of the injection device. Subsequently, the pressure vessel is depressurized by an injection device, and the cypress material is vented. After that, when the pressure reduction is stopped and the pressure vessel is inhaled and returned to normal pressure, a pressure difference is generated, so that the borate drug is injected into the cypress material under reduced pressure in the pressure vessel. Borate chemicals adhere to the inside of each pore formed in the cypress wood, and this adhered borate chemical is efficiently delivered to the core of the cypress wood as it is sucked into the pressure vessel. Will penetrate. Thereafter, the borate drug remaining in the pressure vessel is discharged.

  When the borate decompression injection is completed, the pressure vessel is taken out of the injection device, the cypress material is taken out, and dried again (step S6).

  And as an application | coating process, a silicon rubber is coated on the surface of a hinoki material (step S7). Thereby, the endurance processing wood is completed.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of durable treated wood.
In the durability-treated wood 10, ACQ is pressure-injected and impregnated in the surface layer portion 10a having a relatively low water content. By this ACQ, invasion of decaying fungi, termites, insects and the like from the surface layer portion 10a is prevented.

  Further, the borate penetrates and is held in the core portion 10b having a high water content. Unlike synthetic insecticides, borate is an inorganic chemical that does not evaporate or decompose, and its toxicity to mammals is weak. Therefore, its antiseptic and antifungal effects are maintained semipermanently without adversely affecting humans and the environment. To do. Further, by performing pressure-injection under reduced pressure, the core portion 10b can be impregnated with borate without dropping off the ACQ impregnated in the surface layer portion 10a. Further, by performing a perforation process prior to the vacuum injection, the borate penetrates into the core portion 10b more quickly and in a large amount. That is, the borate can be efficiently injected into the core portion 10b.

  Furthermore, the surface portion 10c is coated with silicon rubber. Since this silicon rubber suppresses the water absorption rate from the outside to about 1/3, leaching of borate from the core 10b is suppressed. Further, the paintability of the surface portion 10c is increased, and an oily wood protective paint can be applied. Therefore, the application range of the durability-treated wood 10 is expanded.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the properties of wood.
Domestic timbers such as cedar and cypress are rich in resource sustainability and processability, but have a problem of poor durability if left unprocessed. On the other hand, although hardwood is excellent in durability, it is inferior in resource sustainability and processability, and is also unsuitable for the coating treatment of oil-based paints, so the application range is very limited.

  The durability-treated wood 10 of the present embodiment is imparted with antiseptic / anticidal properties to both the surface layer portion 10a and the core portion 10b by using ACQ and borate together, and is contained in ACQ. Copper rust is suppressed. Moreover, since the surface part 10c is coated with silicon rubber, moisture absorption from the outside is suppressed, and antiseptic / anticidal properties are maintained for a long time. Furthermore, this coating improves paintability. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture durable treated wood 10 having excellent durability and workability and capable of being continuously supplied by processing domestic wood.

It is a flowchart which shows the manufacturing method of the durability process wood which concerns on the Example of this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing of durability processing wood. It is explanatory drawing which compares the property of wood.
