Southern yellow pine (SYP) was impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde (MF) or melamine-ammeline-formaldehyde (MAF) resins. The dimensional stability, strength properties, weathering, fire resistance and chemical resistance of the impregnated wood were examined. The wood treated with two commercial MF resins or with a synthesized MAF resin exhibited greatly enhanced dimensional stability, fire resistance and resistance to weathering. The chemical resistance increased moderately.
