Abstract
Southern yellow pine (SYP) was impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde (MF) or melamine-ammeline-formaldehyde (MAF) resins. The dimensional s tability, strength properties, weathering, fire resistance and chemica l resistance of the impregnated wood were examined. The wood treated w ith two commercial MF resins or with a synthesized MAF resin exhibited greatly enhanced dimensional stability, fire resistance and resistanc e to weathering. The chemical resistance increased moderately.
