Lye Hydrogen Peroxide Wood Bleach
"On the Method of Bleaching Wood with Alkali and Hydrogen Peroxide"
The key to the method of whitening wood now lies in the combination of alkali (Lye) and hydrogen peroxide (Hydrogen Peroxide). Alkali is strong in nature and can change with the chromogenic substances in wood; hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation and also helps to bleach.
Use these two to bleach wood, and prepare an appropriate amount of alkali and hydrogen peroxide first. Dissolve the alkali in water in proportion and stir well. This liquid can be the basis for the reaction. Then, slowly add hydrogen peroxide and stir while adding, so that the two are miscible and the reaction is smooth.
Apply the mixture of alkali and hydrogen peroxide to the surface of wood. When applying, it should be evenly, so that the medicine can cover the wood. Or it can be immersed in the liquid to ensure that all sides are in contact with the medicine. Let stand for a while, during which the medicine reacts with the wood pigment, causing the color to fade.
When operating, be cautious. Alkali is corrosive, and hydrogen peroxide is also dangerous, so protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc., is required to prevent damage to hands and eyes. And this process should be done in ventilated places, due to reactions or harmful gases.
When the wood color is as expected, wash it with water to remove residual medicine. In this way, wood is bleached by alkali and hydrogen peroxide to achieve a white state.
