Keeping wood greenest: Maximizing the unique benefits of preserved wood through end-of-life planning to realize carbon sequestration and a circular economy
2024 - IRG/WP 24-50387
While competitive fuels and different energy sources are a main driver of current difficulties with using end-of-life wood products for fuel, that is a potentially smaller problem than the rapidly changing carbon footprints of competitive materials, which can potentially be smaller than wood, if the wrong decisions are made at the end of life by users and waste generators. While users have several...

Characterization of zinc borate synthesized in laboratory and scaled-up study
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20730
The organic nature of wood makes it vulnerable to both abiotic and biotic degradation. Impregnation with chemical products is a widely used method for wood protection. Inorganic borates exhibit a unique combination of properties that make them particularly effective for this purpose: they are insecticidal, fungicidal, and flame-retardant. In this study, ammoniacal zinc borate synthesized in labora...

Effect of biodiesel-containing solvents on the performance of Copper Naphthenate and Pentachlorophenol: 118-month assessment and depletion analysis
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41022
Solvent systems are incredibly important in determining the performance of oilborne wood preservative systems and they can cause early failures in commodities treated with an otherwise effective preservative system. It is important to assess new solvent performance with oilborne preservative systems to ensure these systems continue to function with the changes. One solvent/preservative combination...
