Abstract: Provided are compositions for improving the water-resistance and dimensional stability of wood and wood products. The compositions comprises wax and oil components, and can be applied as liquid compositions comprising little or no water. Also provided are methods for the application of the compositions to wood.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a radiation curable composition for in-line printing containing magnetic pigments capable of being magnetized to possess permanent magnetic properties after the composition is cured. The composition is cured by an ionizing radiation source, preferably by UV light or electron beam radiation (UV/EB). The present invention is also directed to an in-line process for printing magnetic images on non-magnetic substrate, comprising: pattern applying the above mentioned radiation curable composition on the substrate opposite to a print side, pre-aligning the magnetic pigment particles (if necessary) of the applied composition, curing the composition by ionizing radiation source (UV/EB), magnetizing the cured composition, then finishing the final piece.
