Performance of copper-based wood preservatives in above ground and ground contact tests

IRG/WP 94-30057

A F Preston, K J Archer, L Jin, W Metzner, D Seepe

The relative performance of a range of copper-based wood preservatives was compared using above ground and ground contact procedures. The data, accumulated after several years' testing, show that on an equivalent active ingredient basis, differences in performance of the preservative systems tested can vary quite markedly. The contribution of co-biocides to the overall performance of these copper-based systems is discussed.
