Controlling biodeterioration of western wood species with over- the-counter wood preservatives

Creator:

Newbill, Mark A.

Abstract:

Over-the-counter (OTC) wood preservatives can provide wood with both a moisture barrier and fungicidal protection against biodeterioration, yet there is little comparative data on the performance of these preservatives. In this study, the potential of various low-toxicity, OTC preservatives was evaluated on five western wood species, western red cedar (Thuja...

Controlling decay fungi in Douglas-fir heartwood with pelletized sodium n-methyldithiocarbamate

Creator:

Sexton, Camille M., Morrell, Jeffrey J., and Newbill, Mark A.

Abstract:

A small block test was used in assessing whether pelletized sodium n-methyldithiocarbamate (NaMDC) would decompose and produce methylisothiocyanate (MITC) and thereby eliminate Antrodia carbonica colonies from Douglas-fir heartwood. Also evaluated were the effects of wood moisture content, dosage, incubation period, pH level, and presence of copper sulfate on percentage of...
