Abstract
Outdoor and artificial weathering tests were performed on specimens of Scots pine sapwood treated with silanes to achieve water repellent properties. During outdoor weathering, the treatment caused a reduction in (liquid) water uptake but the sorption of moisture (air humidity) was not affected by silane treatment. The water repellent effect of vacuum-pressure treated specimens remained stable over the tested exposure period of one year, as was shown in dipping tests.
