Results of the resistance of acetylated wood against marine borers at three Italian sites after five years of sea immersion
2022 - IRG/WP 22-10994
The aim of this research was the determination of resistance of acetylated wood against marine decay in use class 5 (EN 335) in temperate sea waters. The resistance of acetylated Pinus radiata (radiate pine) in solid and medium density fibreboard (MDF) panels is compared with that of the untreated Scots pine, radiata pine and other untreated wood of European species such as Fagus sylvatica (Europe...

Discrimination of five commercial wood preservatives by handheld near-infrared spectrometers and Multivariate Data Analysis
2022 - IRG/WP 22-20686
Nowadays, the recycling potential of wood waste is still limited, because of a lack of reliable lack of a reliable and fast device allowing the discrimination of preservative-treated wood that contains organic or/and inorganic contaminants. The purpose of this study was to set up a methodology, based on a SCiO low-cost handheld NIR spectrometer, and multivariate data analysis (MDA). Spectra was ob...

Acetylation of pine wood in Uruguay
2022 - IRG/WP 22-40927
As a renewable material, wood is susceptible to decay by biologic (fungi, insects) and non biologic (water, radiation, mechanical wear, etc) agents. Such agents are controlled by using wood species of high natural durability, or by protecting the wood through drying, construction design, or the application of preservatives. The latter method has been and still is the most used in Uruguay, usually ...

Ultrasound as an alternative treatment in wood protection
2023 - IRG/WP 23-40973
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Nickle 1970 is probably the most important nematode of the pine, affecting coniferous forest masses, and that has forced the European Union to take measures to prevent its propagation. In sawmills, wood is currently subjected to heat treatment in accordance with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15 2019). This standard contemplates three ...

Enhancing UV resistance and decay resistance of wood by nanoparticle dispersed linseed oil nanoemulsion
2024 - IRG/WP 24-20706
Enhancing increasing demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective wood coatings and preservatives has led to the development of water-borne formulations and use of non-toxic and natural materials such as vegetable oils and waxes. The aim of this study was to improve the UV resistance and decay resistance of wood by nanomaterial dispersed linseed oil emulsions. Highly stable nanoemulsions of linseed ...
