European Regional Development Fund project The specific aim of the Project is hydrothermally modifying aspen and birch wood and choosing the appropriate binders and coatings, to obtain competitive products with a higher added value, essentially upgraded durability properties and wider applicability, which would be attractive for the consumers; to favour the integration of science and production in Latvia’s priority direction – sustainable utilisation of renewable forest resources. The following activities will be carried out in the framework of the Project: The Project’s implementation site - Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, 27 Dzerbenes Str. 27, Riga, LV-1006 (http://www.kki.lv/, koks@edi.lv). The scheduled total project implementation term - 36 months. Project leader- Dr. chem. Bruno Andersons (bruno.andersons@edi.lv). Project open - December 17, 2010. Category of research: commercial study. The activities implemented in the framework of the project have no economic character, because, in compliance with the Regulations No. 752 (07.07.2009), subclause 3.1. of the Cabinet of Ministers, the project corresponds to the following criteria:
Innovative wood and its processing materials with upgraded service properties
(Nr. 2010/0324 2DP/2.1.1.1.0/10/APIA/VIAA/057)
The general aim of the Project is to develop innovative competitive deciduous wood products with upgraded and predictable durability properties, which would strengthen the view of wood as a natural, high-value, promising, competitive and sustainable building material and would favour its wider application in habitat environment..
