- •
We propose a new surface treatment for wood based on natural wax particles.
- •
The developed coating was compared to continuous wax film, lacquer and linseed oil.
- •
The treatment increases the hydrophobicity of the wooden surface.
- •
The ability of the surface to buffer moisture vapor was enhanced by the coating.
