GebrauchsmusterUtility model Wachsverfestigung von ThermoholzWax solidification of thermowood

Nach dem Stand der Technik werden hauptsächlich in Europa seit Jahrzehnten zunehmend natürliche Laub- und Nadelhölzer einer Hochtemperaturbehandlung bei ca. 2000C über mehrere Stunden unterzogen, wobei es irrelevant ist, ob bei dem Prozeß Schutzgas, Vakuum oder Druck mit eingesetzt wird.According to the state of the art, mainly in Europe, natural hardwoods and softwoods have been increasingly subjected to high-temperature treatment at approx. 200 ° C for several hours for decades, whereby it is irrelevant whether protective gas, vacuum or pressure is used in the process.

Die Gründe für die zunehmende Bedeutung des sog. Thermoholzes sindThe reasons for the increasing importance of so-called thermowood are

1. Färb- und Strukturänderung einheimischer Hölzer wie Birke, Ahorn, Esche, Fichte u.a.m. mit dem Ziel, die Attraktivität der tropischen Hölzer zu erreichen, auch um Raubbau entgegenzuwirken.1. Changing the colour and structure of native woods such as birch, maple, ash, spruce, etc. with the aim of achieving the attractiveness of tropical woods and also to counteract overexploitation.

2. Verbesserung der mechanischen Werte.2. Improvement of mechanical values.

3. Geringere Formänderung durch Feuchte.3. Less deformation due to moisture.

4. Verringerung der Fäulnis- und Schimmelanfälligkeit.4. Reducing susceptibility to rot and mold.

5. Vermeidung des Einsatzes schwermetallischer Chemikalien wie bei der Kesseldruckimprägnierung. 5. Avoid the use of heavy metal chemicals such as those used in pressure impregnation.

Diese Ziele können weitgehend erreicht werden.These goals can largely be achieved.

Allerdings ergeben sich auch Nachteile, hauptsächlich in der Versprödung. Auch bei der Wetterbeständigkeit ist keine signifikante Verbesserung zu beobachten.However, there are also disadvantages, mainly in terms of embrittlement. There is also no significant improvement in weather resistance.

Es fehlt nicht an Versuchen, diese Nachteile zu kompensieren, z.B. durch thermische Drucköltränkung. Langfristig wird jedes flüssige Öl zu Feststoffen oxidieren, also sind Veränderungen zu erwarten.There is no lack of attempts to compensate for these disadvantages, e.g. by thermal pressure oil impregnation. In the long term, any liquid oil will oxidize to solids, so changes are to be expected.

Die Anwendung von Polyethylenglycol ( PEG ) ist langwierig, unsicher und wenig effektiv.The use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) is lengthy, unsafe and ineffective.

Die Verfüllung von Holz mit Acrylharzen ( PMMA) ergibt schwere Werkstoffe, die nur noch wenig Holzeigenschaften aufweisen.Filling wood with acrylic resins (PMMA) results in heavy materials that have only few of the properties of wood.

Diese Problematik ist einfach und effektiver durch die nachfolgende patentfähige Methode lösbar, bei der heißes Wachs als Tränkmedium eingesetzt wird.This problem can be solved simply and effectively by the following patentable method, in which hot wax is used as an impregnation medium.

Vorteilhaft kann das so durchgeführt werden, daß am Ende einer Thermobehandlung das noch ca. 2000C heiße, völlig trockene Holz in ein heißes, dünnflüssiges Wachsbad für ca. 15-30 Minuten getaucht wird.This can be done advantageously by immersing the completely dry wood, which is still at a temperature of around 200 ° C, in a hot, thin wax bath for around 15-30 minutes at the end of a thermal treatment.

Ob zusätzlich Vakuum oder Druck angewandt wird, hängt von den Ansprüchen ab.Whether additional vacuum or pressure is used depends on the requirements.

Die Qualität solcherart Wachstränkung von Thermoholz ist schon bei der einfachsten Behandlung hinsichtlich Langzeit-Wetterbeständigkeit, Festigkeit, Wasserstabilität, Bearbeitbarkeit und Ästhetik allen anderen Tränkverfahren weit überlegen. Dies ist leicht erklärbar in den grundsätzlichen Materialeigenschaften von Wachsen. Bekannt sind Bildstöcke, Totenmasken usw., die Jahrhunderte ohne wesentliche Einbußen überdauert haben. Den hohen Ansprüchen spezieller Holzanwendungen z.B. im Instrumentenbau gerecht zu werden, sollen vorzugsweise „holzharte" reine PE-Wach se, bei 2000C niederviskose Formulierungen und Schmelzpunkten 1300C z.B. Luwax AH der Fa. Tenside (BASF) verwendet werden.The quality of this type of wax impregnation of thermowood is far superior to all other impregnation methods, even with the simplest treatment, in terms of long-term weather resistance, strength, water stability, workability and aesthetics. This is easily explained by the basic material properties of waxes. Wayside shrines, death masks, etc. are well known to have survived for centuries without significant deterioration. To meet the high demands of special wood applications, e.g. in instrument making, "wood-hard" pure PE waxes, low-viscosity formulations at 200 ° C and melting points of 130 ° C, e.g. Luwax AH from Tenside (BASF), should preferably be used.

Erwähnenswert bei der erfindungsgemäßen Präparation sindWorth mentioning in the preparation according to the invention are

das überraschend gute Klangverhaltenthe surprisingly good sound performance

die exzellente Bearbeitbarkeitthe excellent workability

und der Selbstpoliereffektand the self-polishing effect

Letzteres erlaubt den Einsatz so behandelter Hölzer ohne jegliche weitere Oberflächenbehandlung über schätzungsweise Jahrzehnte oder Jahrhunderte.The latter allows the use of wood treated in this way without any further surface treatment for what are estimated to be decades or centuries.

Begründet kann das werden, daß bei der Wachstränkung keinerlei z.B. durch Oxidation veränderbare flüchtige Bestandteile eingebracht werden.This can be justified by the fact that no volatile components that can be changed, for example by oxidation, are introduced during the wax impregnation.

Insbesondere überraschend für den M usikinstrumentenbauer ist, daß mindestens bei der drucklosen Behandlung vermutlich durch die Abkühlungskontraktion mikroskopisch feine Poren entstehen, die eine gewünschte Feuchteaufnahme z.B. von Kondenswasser erlauben ohne störende Quellung.What is particularly surprising for the musical instrument maker is that, at least during pressureless treatment, microscopically fine pores are probably created by the cooling contraction, which allow the desired moisture absorption, e.g. from condensation, without disturbing swelling.

Sollten die Vorstellungen der Verfärbungen bei den Präparationen nicht befriedigen, ist es einfach und sicher, die Farbtöne dauerhaft zu korrigieren durch Zugabe wachslöslicher Farbstoffe zum Tränkwachs.If the discoloration during preparation is not satisfactory, it is easy and safe to permanently correct the color tones by adding wax-soluble dyes to the impregnating wax.

Die Wachse sind preisgünstig, die Anwendung einfach, ohne toxische Spuren und 100 % recycelbar.The waxes are inexpensive, easy to use, have no toxic traces and are 100% recyclable.
