ProFume® pre-shipment treatments of round wood against infestations with bark-breeding beetles - technical improvements
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41017
Since 2018, climate change and temperature shifts associated with this, increased the occurrence of bark-beetle induced calamity wood. Consequently, the significant Ips typographus outbreak in German spruce forests prompted harvesting, thus temporarily increasing timber market supply. This situation made Germany a key player in Europe’s log exports to China. In order to prevent the further sprea...

Durability evaluation of outdoor-exposed CLT treated with various wood presevatives using CT scans
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41035
Methods for wood preservation treatment of large materials such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) are limited. It is unclear which wood preservation treatment methods can effectively protect CLT from rot risk. In this study, accelerated rot tests (fungus cellar test) of CLT treated with the solvent-borne wood preservative by non-pressure treatment, named ‘deep penetration treatment’, were conduc...

Non-destructive methods for field assessment of wood biodeterioration in hardwood trailer decks exposed to tropical environments
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41039
Apitong (Dipterocarpus spp.), an increasingly rare tropical hardwood from the rainforest in Southeast Asia, has long been used as decking materials for open-bed trailers and trucks across North America. As the natural population of Apitong trees steadily declines, there is an urgent need to find sustainable, domestically sourced alternatives for trailer decking. A recent project evaluated the perf...
