The latest news from research and development. Protective Modified polyethylene wax and modified polyethylene wax/oxidised paraffin composite wax were used to prevent the degradation of wood surfaces by ultraviolet radiation and liquid water. Test results proved that the composite wax coating showed the best protective effects on the wood surface. The hot wax treatment reduced the UV penetration and enhanced the UV oxidative degradation resistance. Kangren Niu et al., Progress in Organic Coatings, 2021, Vol. 161. ...
