In worldwide, the use of chemical pesticides to protect wood has been greatly restricted. recent years, a large number researchers devoted search for natural, safe and non-polluting bioactive compounds from plants as an alternative synthetic organic preservative. Chinese folk, tung oil can be used paint wooden furniture them pests. This study aimed evaluate compositions raw heated their activit...

Abstract The stake test is widely used to evaluate the efficacy of wood preservatives. This monitors deterioration level observed in treated stakes partially inserted into ground. results are conventionally expressed as relationship between levels and exposure periods. preservative compared among groups with different retention based on results; however, there no scientific basis for comparison...

Alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) is a widely used wood preservative. This study evaluated leachate volume generation and contaminant leaching from ACQ-treated lumber during rainfall events in comparison to untreated lumber. The influences of wood preservation with ACQ, lumber size, and weather on leachate generation ratio and contaminant concentrations in wood leachate were investigated with fo...

Recently introduced micronized copper (MC) formulations, consisting of a nanosized fraction of basic copper (Cu) carbonate (CuCO3·Cu(OH)2) nanoparticles (NPs), were introduced to the market for wood protection. Cu NPs may presumably be more effective against wood-destroying fungi than bulk or ionic Cu compounds. In particular, Cu- tolerant wood-destroying fungi may not recognize NPs, which may ...
