Properties of thermal modified wood of Pinus pinaster, Pinus radiata and Pinus sylvestris from Galicia, Spain
2024 - IRG/WP 24-30800
This paper provides the results of a research about the properties of thermal modified wood of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.), radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) from Galicia, Spain, thermal treated in the industrial vacuum-heat autoclave plant of FINSA group in Galicia, Spain. These three pine wood species are used in different solid products but due the...

Natural weathering of modified pine and Eucalyptus woods by surface charring
2024 - IRG/WP 24-30801
Within various wood modification techniques, surface charring is anticipated to extend the lifespan of wooden components in building facades; however, visual deterioration of charred cladding materials has become a notable concern. This study, conducted through international collaboration, aimed to assess the resistance of bio-based facade materials to weathering in the Turkish climate. The natura...

Levels of chromated copper arsenate in aged radiata pine vineyard posts
2024 - IRG/WP 24-50389
At the Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life, Australia a cooperative project is underway with Forest and Wood Products Australia, supported by a consortium of timber producers, chemical suppliers and timber users to identify alternative pathways for treated timber and EWP’s. Under this initiative, we are focusing on establishing the current and forecasting future volumes of treated timbe...

Enzyme activities of Bursaphlenchus xylophilus and associated bacteria
2025 - IRG/WP 25-11057
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus or the pine wood nematode (PWN) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease, a destructive disease that affects coniferous masses. B. xylophilus causes severe economic, environmental, and social damage. The establishment of the disease depends on the ability of the PWN to degrade the lignocellulolytic material. Therefore, the study of enzymes able to hydrolyze these compone...

mpact of Fence Post Footings on Wood Post Durability
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41025
Residential wood fence posts may be dug directly into the ground, secured to a metal spike that goes into the ground, or secured to a concrete footing with a metal boot. It was hypothesised that by keeping wood posts out of the ground both spikes and boot attachments would increase protection against decay and termites and extend the service life of the post. After 9-years of exposure in Kincardin...

Evaluation of Fungicide Transfer to Fruit Stored in Bins Constructed from Anti-Sapstain Treated Radiata Pine
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50417
This study investigates the potential transfer of fungicides to apples stored in bins made from wood treated with the anti-sapstain fungicides Antiblu® CC, containing carbendazim and chlorothalonil, and Antiblu® 375, containing oxine copper as an active ingredient. The analysis examines residues of chlorothalonil, carbendazim, and copper in apples exposed in mini-bins made from anti-sapstain tre...
