Antifungal and wood preservative efficacy of IPBC is enhanced by α - aminoisobutyric acid
2010 - IRG/WP 10-30544
There is currently a need to reduce the biocide content of wood preservatives, without decreasing efficacy. The nonmetabolised amino acid analogue α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) acts as a translocated inhibitor of mycelial spread in basidiomycete wood decay fungi, although it does not kill the organism. Factorial combinations of AIB with either the azole fungicide tebuconazole, or 3-iodo-2-...

Stabilization of IPBC in wood through the use of organosilicon compounds
2012 - IRG/WP 12-30597
The aim of the research was to increase durability of wood treated with 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC). The study used a blend of silanes. Biological examination against microfungi was performed to determine resistance of Scots pine wood treated with the tested formulations. Chemical analysis by the Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) of water extracts from the leaching per...

Wood treatment with organosilanes – perspective for IPBC stabilization
2014 - IRG/WP 14-30641
The aim of the research was a new model preservative’s antifungal properties evaluation. The formulation contained 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) at the reduced concentration. The IPBC was combined with organosilicon compounds (i.e. alkilosilicones with amino groups or fluorine) for supporting its antifungal properties. Due to the fact, that IPBC can be easily destabilized under the in...

Above ground field testing: results of experiments in Brazil after one year
2015 - IRG/WP 15-30660
After the development of new products they need to be field-tested to assess their efficacy under diverse conditions of climate, comparing them with a preservative with proven efficacy. In some testing sites, decay occurs very slowly. The solution would be to bring these tests to locations that are conducive to biodeterioration, like tropical climates. Tropical sites provide higher temperature and...

Search for an anti-sapstain treatment for fresh radiata pine wood in compliance with European BPD norms: Field Tests
2015 - IRG/WP 15-30673
In response to the impending restrictions on the use of pesticide active ingredients developed to control the staining of fresh wood, as a result of regulation issued in 2009 by the European Union, a project was proposed to test an alternative anti-sapstain treatment that meets both the European restrictions and the performance required for an export-quality radiata pine fresh wood treatment. A se...

Antifungal properties of wood treated with IPBC and organosilicone compounds against Coniophora puteana
2015 - IRG/WP 15-30676
The aim of the research was to increase durability of Scots pine wood treated with 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) through organosilicon compounds. The IPBC was combined with organosilicon compounds (alkylsilane and alkylsilane with amino groups) for supporting its antifungal properties. The mycological examination against Coniophora puteana was performed to determine the resistance of woo...

Performance of 3-iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate (IPBC) in L-joints under tropical conditions
2016 - IRG/WP 16-30688
The ability of 3-iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate (IPBC) to protect wood against fungal decay out of soil contact was evaluated using ponderosa pine L-joints at two exposure sites over a 12 year period. IPBC tended to provide better protection when formulated in an organic solvent and when applied using a double vacuum treatment. Performance also tended to be better when systems contained a water...
