The effect of temperature on the rate of fixation of an alkyl ammonium compound (AAC) wood preservative
IRG/WP 3293
P Vinden
The rate of fixation of an alkyl ammonium compound wood preservative was measured by soaking samples of wood wool in various preparations of the preservative for arbitrary times followed by immediate leaching in water. The wood wool was then analysed for residual preservative. The results indicated that fixation was very rapid and increased at higher temperatures.
