Anti-sapstain efficacy of borates against Aureobasidium pullulans
Boric acid, TIM-BOR?, borax, and zinc borate control the surface growth of Aureobasidium-pullulans on wood when evaluated as a dip treatment in laboratory tests. The effectiveness of the first three […]

Application of radio-frequency heating to utility poles. part 2. accelerated fixation of chromated copper arsenate
The use of radio-frequency (RF) heating at atmospheric pressure to accelerate the fixation of chromated copper arsenate (CCA) in roundwood was investigated. This was done using the hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) […]

Application of the Logistic Function to Toxicity Testing of Wood Preservatives
A series of red pine sapwood samples treated with various concentrations of pentachlorophenol deposited from toluene was subjected to soil-block test using T. trabea as wood destroying fungus. Data was […]

Assaying Penta-Treated Wood By Means of Diazo Compounds
Pentachlorophenol is highly toxic to fungi and insects and is widely used as a wood preservative. The light color of the compound, however, makes qualitative assay of the treatment difficult. […]

Attempts to Modify the Weathering of Redwood
There seems to be increasing public awareness of the limitations of clear film-forming finishes in exterior applications on redwood. The most desirable natural finish, then, is none at all. However, […]

Automatic Respiration Analysis of the Fungitoxic Potential of Wood Preservatives, Including An Oxathiin
The fully automated gas-chromatographic method for measuring respiration-threshold retentions (RTR) for wood preservatives is described. The RTR method is more sensitive to fungal attack than is the normal weight-loss method […]

Basidiomycete colonization of Douglas-fir poles after polyborate treatments
A variety of Basidiomycetes colonize air-seasoning Douglas-fir poles, and their presence raises concerns about the potential survival of decay fungi throughout the treatment process. We investigated the ability of polyborates […]
