A system and method for wood preservation comprises treating wood products via
conventional pressure treating mechanics of sequential vacuum and pressure with
a solution comprising an oligomeric, stoichiometrically balanced blend of primary
and secondary diamines with modified diphenylmethane diisocyanates and a carrier
solvent/reactant. Upon application, the carrier solvent/reactant evaporates, allowing
polymerization of the remaining solution constituents to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic,
elastomeric polyureathane linked copolymer that provides a long-term barrier against
rot, environmental, termite and mold/fungus attack. Complete polymer impregnation
of the wood's interstitial fiber space enables the hydrophobic property of the
polymer to provide a long-time barrier to water penetration. Alternatively, the
polymer may be surface applied to provide both protection and to prevent leaching
out of CCA chemicals in the case of conventionally treated wood. The polymer is
also an effective termiticide.
