Protection of Wood Surfaces with Chromium Trioxide.

Abstract

Wood surfaces treated with hexavalent chromium -- Cr(6+) -- compounds have enhanced resistance to natural weathering properties. This study investigated the natural weathering resistance of wood surfaces treated with aqueous solutions of CrO3 as well as the performance of finishes applied to these treated surfaces. Several treating variables were investigated as well as several wood species. (Author)
