Fungus cellar and stake tests with tall oil derivatives. Progress Report after 5 years' testing

IRG/WP 3442

J Jermer, Ö Bergman, T Nilsson

Two derivatives of tall oils have been tested for five years in fungus cellar and stake tests. The samples were relatively quickly attacked on the surface by decay fungi, mainly soft rot, but the decay has progressed very slowly. The performance of the stakes in the tests has so far been equivalent or even better than some CCA preservatives and creosote.
