Does the strength of the wood change during the process?

Increasing hardness of the wood

Acetylation causes no significant change in the strength of wood.

Hardness, however, is increased by up to 10%, unlike thermal modification where strength is typically reduced by 15-25%. This differs from most other treatments and modifications which typically adversely affect strength and brittleness.
