Abstract
Abstract An improvement in the drying of wood which allows drying at an equal or faster than conventional rate with less degrade, fewer stresses, and less total shrinkage, comprising treating the wood prior to drying with a material capable of reducing the interfacial tension at the water-air boundaries in the cell structure of the wood. Preferably the wood is treated with an aqueous solution of a non-volatile surface active agent, such as an alkylarylsulfonate.
