The process of acrylic impregnation begins with the wood being treated with a propriety blend of monomers, reactants and fillers under vacuum and intense pressure and then is cured in order to polymerize the entire material. The result is a wood/ polymer composite that is extremely durable, resistant to moisture but maintains the warmth and beauty of the individual wood.
The advantages of acrylic impregnation are: • Wood chemically enhanced. • Densifies wood - making it extremely dent resistant and positively enhancing the natural resonance. • Reacts with wood cell walls to yield resistance to moisture. • Dramatically slows wood movement by slowing or stopping water reaction with wood cell wall. • This process allows wood to be machined and used in environments where other woods and treatment processes have failed. • Takes mother nature's finest and makes it better. As wood reacts with it's environment, it is advantageous for wood game calls to be resistant to moisture. Wood will naturally absorb moisture from its surroundings, expand and gain weight changing the sound characteristics of the call. Acrylic Impregnation impedes the absorption of moisture assuring the hunter and competition caller that the instrument is the same today as yesterday. Field reports indicate that this winning combination of nature and technology yields a more functional game call |
