As a common biochemical buffer, BICINE buffer plays an important role in life science experiments such as enzyme reactions and electrophoresis analysis. However, the application of this compound is not limited to the laboratory. In the field of wood conservation, BICINE is demonstrating unique value by providing new solutions for wood treatment processes. Today, let's explore BICINE's cross-border journey from the laboratory to building materials, witnessing how science builds innovative bridges between different fields.

The buffering performance of BICINE

BICINE (N, N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) glycine) is a zwitterionic buffer with a pKa value of 8.3, suitable for working under conditions close to physiological pH. In biochemical research, it is often used in protein purification, enzymatic experiments, and other scenarios that require a stable pH environment. This stable buffering ability stems from its molecular structure containing both carboxyl and amino groups, which can effectively resist pH changes. In addition to its buffering function, BICINE can also form stable complexes with various metal ions, which is beneficial for maintaining the activity of metalloenzymes in biochemical analysis. It is these chemical properties that lay the foundation for their application in the field of wood treatment.

BICIEN - A New Choice of Wood Impregnating Agent

When used as a wood impregnating agent, BICINE mainly plays the following role: metal ion stabilization: In anti-corrosion systems containing copper, zinc and other metals, BICINE can form soluble complexes with metal ions to improve the stability of metal components in the impregnating solution. This helps the preservative to penetrate evenly into the interior of the wood, avoiding premature precipitation of metal ions during the treatment process.

The role of BICINE buffer

PH adjustment function: During the process of wood impregnation, the stability of pH value will affect the activity of preservatives and the structure of wood fibers. The buffering capacity of BICINE can maintain the pH of the treatment solution within an appropriate range, which not only protects the wood substrate but also ensures the effective use of preservatives. Environmentally friendly features: Compared with traditional preservatives, BICINE itself has lower toxicity and better biodegradability, meeting modern environmental requirements. It can be used in conjunction with environmentally friendly anti-corrosion ingredients to reduce the environmental impact of the treatment process.

Actual application performance of BICINED

In practical applications, the addition of BICINE wood impregnating agent shows multiple advantages. Research has shown that in treatment systems containing BICINE, the penetration depth of anti-corrosion components in wood is increased and their distribution is more uniform. This helps to enhance the long-term anti-corrosion performance of wood, especially under outdoor use conditions. For certain types of wood that are difficult to process, such as high-density hardwood, the addition of BICINE can improve the permeability of the treatment solution. Its buffering effect can also reduce the discoloration of wood caused by pH changes and maintain the natural appearance of the wood.
