Abstract: A multi-functional aqueous protective treatment for wood substrates. The treatment comprises an aqueous solution of a zirconyl compound and incorporated bio-active constituents, providing protection against bio-degradation of wood and against degradation of aesthetic value of applied wood coatings by spontaneous staining and also protects against termites or other “in-depth” bio-degradation factors.

Abstract: A process of treating wood to reduce the tannin staining of coatings subsequently applied includes the steps of providing a solution of a zirconyl compound in a carrier liquid such as water, applying the solution to a wood surface, and, drying the solution. The pore structure of the wood is modified or sealed so that staining of coating compositions applied subsequently over the surface is reduced. The process is particularly beneficial in cases where the coating composition a clear or a light-colored latex paint, especially white. The preferred zirconyl compound is zirconyl acetate. The treating solution may be modified by addition thereto of a lanthanide compound, especially cerium, to provide UV light protection to a substrate and further by one or more metal cations to impart mildewicidal activity to the composition.
