Copper-Chrome-Arsenate Wood Preservatives: A Study of the Influence of Composition on Leachability
The results of experiments indicate that, at a metallic copper content of 20 to 25 percent, the chromium-arsenic ratio can be adjusted to obtain a formula of minimum leaching. By […]

Decomposition of methylisothiocyanate in Douglas-fir heartwood
Decomposition of the wood fumigant methylisothiocyanate (MIT) was studied in blocks of Douglas-fir heartwood. Decomposition was influenced by wood moisture content (MC), with decomposition rates estimated at 0.2, 0.9, and […]
