Abstract
The invention is a method of perfusing a material, such as wood, with a chemical composition that is insoluble in a given first fluid under supercritical conditions. A cosolvent is mixed with the first solvent to provide adequate solubility at supercritical conditions for the chemical composition. The method is useful for uniformly impregnating otherwise difficulty permeable materials. Impregnation of lumber or structural timbers with a preservative would be a typical use of the method.
