Abstract: This paper reviews and comments on the current preservative treatment methods for woodbased composites, and highlights their characteristics and key points. The methods involved include raw material selection & pretreatment, inprocess treatment and postprocess treatment. As reconstituted engineered products, the most efficient, simple and costeffective method for preserving woodbased composites is inprocess treatment, i.e., to incorporate the preservatives into the products during their manufacture if the preservatives are resincompatible, heatstable and nonvolatile. The selection of preservatives and methods for protecting different woodbased composites must be based on the constituted wood elements, structure, manufacturing process, application of the products and the binders used as well.
