What kind of wood is carbonized wood? It is understood that carbonized wood refers to wood that has been carbonized. Compared with solid wood, the internal nutrients have been destroyed by carbonization, so it is more anti-corrosion, insect-proof, and has better water absorption performance. We all know that solid wood cannot be used outdoors, because it is prone to moisture and cracking, and carbonized wood can be used outdoors, so the appearance of carbonized wood provides more choices for decorative materials in outdoor gardens. What is the difference between carbonized wood and solid wood? Which is better, solid wood or carbonized wood? Let's have a look!
1. What is carbonized wood
Carbonized wood is wood that has been surface carbonized or deeply treated. It is divided into two types. One is deeply carbonized carbonized wood, which is wood treated with high temperature, high pressure, oxygen, and water. There is also a surface carbonized wood, which is grilled with an oxygen torch to make the surface of the wood have a very thin carbonized layer.
2. Which is better between carbonized wood and solid wood
In fact, carbonized wood is solid wood, but carbonized wood is wood treated by 195℃-212℃ high-temperature, high-pressure, oxygen-free and anhydrous carbonization technology. Because its nutrients are destroyed, it has better anti-corrosion and insect-proof functions. If it is used for outdoor flooring, kitchen decoration, and sauna room decoration, it is better to use waterproof and moisture-proof carbonized wood. If it is only used for indoor floor decoration, I think solid wood is enough.
The advantages of carbonized wood
1. Environmental protection
Carbonized wood is made of natural wood. No harmful chemicals are added in the production and processing process, nor does it cause any environmental pollution problems. It is a truly environmentally friendly green building material.
2. Purify the air
The intermediate of activated carbon production has the function of activated carbon, retains the characteristics of high-end wood, and makes it have the function of purifying the air.
3. Strong stability, not easy to crack and deform
After the wood is carbonized, its water-absorbing functional groups are reorganized, so the use performance will be greatly enhanced, the dimensional stability will be improved, and the problems of deformation and cracking will not easily occur during use.
4. Corrosion resistance
The nutrients inside the carbonized wood are destroyed, blocking the nutrient chain necessary for wood decay, making it have anti-corrosion function and prolonging the service life of wood.
5. Degreasing clean, convenient processing
Because the carbonized wood is completely degreasing, the paint application is more convenient, and it is not easy to fall off after brushing the paint. Carbonized wood has good processing performance and can overcome the disadvantages of easy fluff on the surface of the product.
