Invention Name: LignoArmor-? – Advanced Wood Reinforcement Concept
Category: Building Materials / Coatings / Polymer Chemistry
Overview:
LignoArmor-? is a proprietary, early-stage formulation concept designed to significantly reinforce wood and other lignocellulosic materials. The system is intended to penetrate deeply into the wood structure and form a dense, flexible internal matrix. This composite network aims to improve surface hardness, impact resistance, and durability while maintaining natural elasticity and minimizing brittleness.
Key Target Benefits (Simulated / Conceptual):
Enhanced Hardness: Projected increase of up to 3× compared with untreated wood surfaces.
Flexural Strength Retention: Maintains ?90% of original wood flexibility.
Water & Microbial Resistance: Designed to reduce water absorption and improve decay resistance.
Abrasion & Wear Resistance: Provides superior surface protection for high-traffic or exterior applications.
UV and Fire Resistance Potential: Conceptually stable under UV exposure; may exhibit char-forming behavior under flame.
Intended Applications:
Structural wood reinforcement for residential and commercial construction
Furniture and cabinetry requiring long-term durability
Specialty coatings for outdoor wood, decking, or laminated products
Potential for integration into composite materials
IP Status & Opportunity:
Currently a trade-secret concept; no patents filed
Available for sale or licensing under NDA
Suitable for companies looking to develop, scale, and commercialize a next-generation wood reinforcement product
Transaction Options:
Exclusive sale of formula rights
Joint-development licensing agreement
Royalty-based licensing
Financial information
Looking to sell exclusive rights to the formula.
Market Potential – LignoArmor-?
Target Market:
LignoArmor-? is positioned for the wood reinforcement, coatings, and specialty construction materials markets, including:
Structural and treated lumber (residential, commercial, decking)
Furniture and cabinetry manufacturers
Outdoor wood applications (decks, fences, exterior finishes)
Industrial composites integrating lignocellulosic materials
Global Market Size:
Wood preservatives / coatings market: ~$4.5 billion annually
Specialty wood-hardening chemicals: ~$1.5 billion annually
Composite wood market (structural panels, engineered wood): ~$30 billion annually
Potential Market Penetration:
Conservative early-stage adoption: 0.1–0.5% of the specialty wood-hardening chemicals market ? $1.5–$7.5 million/year potential revenue
Moderate adoption: 1% market penetration ? ~$15 million/year
Aggressive adoption with broader licensing or co-development: 2–3% market share ? $30–$45 million/year
Competitive Positioning:
LignoArmor-?’s concept combines penetration, non-brittle hardening, water and microbial resistance, and UV/fire durability in one treatment
Competes against epoxy hardeners, acetylated wood (Accoya®), polyurethane sealants, and thermally modified wood
Offers potential for higher performance with simpler spray-on application, reducing the need for factory processing
