Abstract
Abstract In a wood treating process wherein wood is impregnated with a halogenated solvent solution containing a wood preservative and an antiblooming additive and excess solvent is vaporized from the impregnated wood and condensed for return to the used impregnation solution, the depleted solution is restored to its original composition for recycle to the process by addition of a concentrate of the preservative and antiblooming additive in the solvent. Preferred components of the treating solution and the concentrate are pentachlorophenol, a glycol or glycol derivative, and a relatively low boiling chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride.
