Artificial weathering as an aid to assessing the effectiveness of chemicals for preventing blue stain in service - a co-operative study

IRG/WP 2215

A F Bravery, D J Dickinson

The paper reports co-operative studies carried out within Working Group II of the International Research Group on Wood Preservation to assess the effects of different artificial weathering systems on the performance of fungicides to control blue-stain in service. It has been shown that Atlas, Xenotest and Marr equipments operated according to particular standard schedules can give essentially the same results for 5 of 6 fungicides tested.
