Part 5/6:
Following the modification treatment, a physical densification or compression step is executed. This crucial stage allows the cellulose fibers in the wood to align more closely, significantly enhancing the overall strength and stiffness of the material.
Finishing Touches
Finally, the processed wood undergoes resizing, polishing, and sealing to produce the finished product: Metalwood. The results of this comprehensive manufacturing process yield a material that is 20 times stronger and 15 times stiffer than the raw wood from which it was derived.
