RESISTÊNCIA DA MADEIRA MODIFICADA TERMICAMENTE DE <i>Eucalyptus grandis</i> W. Hill ex Maiden AO TÉRMITA DE MADEIRA SECA <i>Cryptotermes </i>sp.

Abstract: There are currently in operation five major European industrial processes for wood thermal modification. They improve wood's dimensional stability and decay resistance, but are not efficient against termites attack. In fact, there is little research about the effect of thermal modification on wood resistance to termites, whether subterranean or dry-wood termites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Brazilian process of thermal modification (VAP HolzSysteme ® ) on the resistance of Eucalyptu… Show more

“…Those dried boards were then submitted to the heat treatment process in the TWBrazil company by using the VAP HolzSysteme ® method, which consists in the heat application at high temperatures (140 and 160 °C) through saturated steam, with efficient oxygen elimination in order to obtain the Thermally Modified Timber (TMT) product, as described by Batista et al (2016).…”

“…Thermal treatment of wood emerged in European countries in the 1920s and have shown beneficial effects of the exposure of timber to temperatures close to 200 °C in dry or vapourised environments, with or without the use of nitrogen (Rapp & Sailer 2001, Metsä-Kortelainen et al 2006. In Brazil, the earliest studies of thermal treatment were conducted in the mid-1980s and the main method used commercially was the VAP HolzSysteme® (Batista et al 2015(Batista et al , 2016. Changes in the wood chemical constituents improve biological resistance by reducing hemicellulose content, hygroscopicity and generating new toxic extractives (Sivrikaya et al 2015).…”

“…Intensity of the treatment that is characterised by thermal degradation (mass loss) is strongly correlated with the biological resistance of thermally modified wood, whereby the intensity of thermal treatment leads to an increase in loss of wood mass and decrease in weight loss by wood-destroying organisms (Candelier et al 2016). However, depending on species of wood and process conditions, some results have reported limited improvement, or even loss of biological resistance, at treatment temperatures below 200 °C (Calonego et al 2010, Batista et al 2016, Candelier et al 2016. This paper was aimed at evaluating the effects of different temperatures of thermal modification (160, 180, 200, 220, and 240 °C) on the decay resistance of thermally modified Corymbia citriodora and Pinus taeda wood against brown-rot and white-rot fungi under laboratory conditions.…”

“…Wood thermally treated can be described as a physical-chemical process that change wood anatomy and wood constituents, such cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and extractives, performing this process under temperature varying between 150 and 280 °C on controlled atmosphere, which can be vacuum, steam or under heated oil (Batista et al, 2016b;Lee et al, 2018;Wikberg and Maunu, 2004), and for a controlled time, improving physical properties reducing shrinkage, permeability and hygroscopicity, increasing dimensional stability (Barboutis and Kamperido, 2019;Batista et al, 2018;Ribeiro et al, 2019). Otherwise, with wood constituents degradation, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, mechanical properties are reduced proportionally with thermal treatment (Chen et al, 2016;Kariz et al, 2016;Kubovský et al, 2020;Lahtela and Kärki, 2014).…”
