The treatment of the wood with a reactive silicate which is preferably a carbon silicon halogen combination which replaces some of the molecules or atoms within the cellulose structure with silicon. Here, the hydroxyl (OH) group on some or all of one or more of the cellulose molecules is partially replaced with silicon or an alternative atom or molecule to changes the character of the wood. The process may be modified to insert a preliminary step of adding a reactive agent to be locked into the wood. |
