  • Influence of montan wax emulsions on leaching dynamics of boric acid from impregnated wood
    Lesar, Boštjan ; Humar, Miha ; Kralj, Polonca, 1976-
    Boron biocides are one of the most frequently used components of commercial wood preservatives. Th ey are very eff ective fungicides and insecticides, but they do not react with wood and thus leach ... from it in wet applications. In order to reduce leaching of boric acid, montan wax emulsion was introduced to the preservative solution. Spruce wood specimens were vacuum impregnated and afterwards leached according to the novel OECD and prCEN/TS 15119-1 procedures. Th ose two methods are non-continuous and are used for estimations of boron leaching from use class II and III applications. The results showed that addition of LGE emulsion does not reduce boron leaching signifi cantly. Despite of the fact that both methods applied are non-continuous, it can be evident, that OECD procedure is much more severe than prCEN/TS 15119-1 one.
