A process for pressure-treating wood in which a vacuum is first drawn to remove air from the wood fibers and allow the preservative to be absorbed by the cell walls, after which pressure is applied to force additional preservative into the cell cavities. The full-cell process leaves the maximum amount of preservative in the wood. (Ching, 1995)
