Comparison of Wood Preservatives in Stake Tests.
Abstract
Reported are results on test stakes of southern pine sapwood 2 by 4 by 18 inches in size, treated by pressure and nonpressure processes, in decay and termite exposure in various climates. Also included in some of the tests are smaller pine stakes and those of treated and untreated plywood, modified woods, laminated paper plastic, and pine infected with Trichoderma mold. Preservatives such as coal-tar creosote and petroleum oils containing copper naphthenate, zinc naphthenate, phenyl mercury oleate, and pentachlorophenol have added a few months to 4 years to the life of the untreated stakes. Some waterborne preservatives have provided less protection to the stakes than the standard preservative oils. (Author)
