English term or phrase: envelope treatment
Preservation treatments using LOSP (light organic solvent preservatives) which are an envelope treatment are not recommended for outdoor applications (U3) but are acceptable for U3 applications when specified indoors.

LOSP 轻有机溶剂型防腐剂

What is the meaning of envelope treatment? Does it mean exterior treatment or general-purpose treatment?

Chinese translation:表面处理to a certain depth
Explanation:
"Envelope treatment An unbroken envelope of preservative around the piece of sawn timber to the depth specified for each hazard class."

(for certain uses, the envelope should remain unbroken, so recoating may be necessary if the timber is cut or drilled post-treatment. )

Don\'t know. Some treatment methods use heat/pressure to force the chemical into the wood, I think.
