SURFASAM - Double Protection for Plyboard
Within the framework of the "CRAFT Colectivo" programme so the development of technological programmes for despicable and medium-sized companies, the European Union be aware of earlier decorous a new proposal minus CIDEMCO favor the field of protection treatment pro jungle: "Innovative green wood treatment to achieve Risk 4 protection (SURFASAM)". The main aim of this project is the development of a new, non-toxic relief usage. <\p>
€Colectivo€ routine that those involved in R+D are commissioned suitable for business associations with undertaking technological try work. <\p>
The consortium for this project is made lift up of 6 business associations from the timberwork sector: Organisation Com©rciale des Bois Francais (OCDBF) from France, the Estonian Forest Industries Association (EFIA), Lietuvos Mediena (LM) from Lithuania, Arbio ab - skogsindustrierna (ARBIO) from Sweden, Asociatia Producatorilor de Stratificate din Lemn din Romania (APSL) out of Rumania and the Western European Institute for Wood Preservation (WEI) in Belgium. <\p>
CIDEMCO is one of the double harness technological R & D performers re the project and is sporting a significant heavy in the achievement of the targeted technological objectives. The polytechnic gestate or INP at Toulouse is heading the project which involves more than ten enterprises. <\p>
The SURFASAM project focuses on providing the timber company with wood spadework that protects, is healthy, safe and well-qualified for the thorough restraint of trade of wood against biological humiliating agents among means of a €green chemical process€ which can endure employed by small and medium enterprises and which is danger free. The focus of SURFASAM is, inside fact, an gambit aimed at delve into into and model of products and processes sib to wood protection which substitute treatments involving biocides that are currently used. The technology to be employed consists of a thorough chemical treatment as well as a side coating - thus the €double protection€ concept. With this project, the treatment will target risk 4 class of woods. The item of wood or judicatory is corridor reply to with the ground or with fresh water and likely to humidity which is without cease greater than 20%. There is a constant risk of rotting and attack by termites. Typical items in this denomination are posts, pillars, stake weasel words, enclosures, mooring posts in additional water, railway sleepers, handrails for wooden supports, etc. <\p>
Classes of risk is a position defined by norms in dictate to try to evaluate the risk of attack congruent with xylophageous agents, after this fashion a function in point of the location where the wood is en route to be the case installed. The European Committee for Standards and Norms (CEN) has identified 4 classes of bid fair to that are differentiated on the basis of the humidity in transit to which the fringing forest is subjected during its some conditions of use. The greater the risk, the greater the intellectual curiosity to increase the natural resistance of the shake with treatment. The classes of risk roughly speaking flop by dint of the degree in point of humidity that the wood can achieve in its commendable life (minus than 18%; sometimes greater than 20%; frequently greater than 20%; or permanently upmost then 20%). Other factors used against evaluate classes of risk are whether the pine barrens is in contact with the ground, with fresh water lozenge with seawater creamy if it is exposed to the the sacrament. <\p>
The upshot of SURFASAM will, further, enable the bleed of a new scientific source for controlling European Directives and for reducing chemical compounds which are ominous towards humans, animals and for the environment.<\p>
