  • Improvement of fungicidal properties and copper fixation of copper-ethanolamine wood preservatives using octanoic acid and boron compounds
    Humar, Miha ; Žlindra, Daniel ; Pohleven, Franc
    Copper ethanolamine preservatives are one of the most important solutions for wood preservation. As copper itself can not ensure sufficient protection against wood destroying organisms we combine it ... with other co-biocides like quaternary ammonium compounds, azoles and/or boron. Influence of different boron compounds and octanoic acid on copper fixation as well as performance of spruce wood impregnated with different copper/ethanolamine/boron based aqueous solutions is described in this paper. Copper fixation was determined according to the modified ENV 1250 (1994) standard method, while performance against Antrodia vaillantii, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Trametes versicolor was tested according to the mini block procedure. The results showed that addition of boron increases copper leaching, but on the contrary improves performance against wood decay fungi. On the other hand, addition of octanoic acid improves copper fixation, and slightly decreases resistance against copper tolerant fungi
