The Role of Water Repellents and Chemicals in Controlling Mildew on Wood Exposed Outdoors

Book Description
The natural look of wood siding, and the retention of that look, has become increasingly popular over the past several years. Many new commercial formulations are being offered for use as clear natural wood finishes. A successful finish will retain color, control mold and mildew, and minimize weathering. Some of these formulations contain a chemical as a mildewcide (fungicide, preservative) and/or a water repellent, and some do not. To evaluate several chemicals (alone or in combination with water repellents) as components of natural finish formulations, we dip-treated ponderosa pine sapwood specimens in various formulations and exposed them on test fences in Mississippi, Wisconsin and Washington. Several chemicals were very effective at controlling mildew and maintaining the natural appearance of the exposed wood. Aqueous formulations of chromium salts were the most effective for up to 22 months exposure outdoors. Many chemical formulations in mineral spirits (including water repellents and wood sealers) were effective for 5 to 9 months of exposure, but their effectiveness was reduced with longer exposure. Of all the chemicals evaluated in mineral spirits formulations, only pentachlorophenol and copper naphthenate were found to be effective mildewcides after exposures of greater than 9 months. Their mildewcidal effectiveness was improved with the addition of a simple water repellent (paraffin wax), especially with exposures greater than 9 months. Mildew growth was markedly worse in the warm, humid climate of Mississippi than in Washington or Wisconsin. This means that natural wood finishes for climates similar to Mississippi must contain high concentrations of effective mildewcides for good performance. This paper should be useful to homeowners, architects, builders, and wood finish formulators.

Book Description
Prepared by the Subcommittee on Evaluation, Maintenance, and Upgrading of Timber Structures of the Committee on Wood of the Structural Division of ASCE. This report presents information on technical aspects of inspection, evaluation, reinforcement, repair, and rehabilitation of timber structures. Any structure, regardless of the material from which it is made, may be subject to a review of its ability to perform a specific function or functions. This report reviews factors that influence the serviceability of wood structures, including loadings, duration of loads, temperature, moisture and weathering. Effects of chemicals and fire, as well as insects, fungi, and other organisms that attack wood are also covered. Designing to avoid problems caused by these factors is discussed. Inspection techniques and equipment are described, along with guidelines on where to look and what to look for. A section of evaluation of wood structures includes criteria such as structural analysis, determination of loads, and estimating load carrying capacity.

Languages : en
Pages : 2064
Book Description
This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core concepts of wood applications, quality and life cycle assessment of this important natural resource are presented. The book concludes with a useful compilation of fundamental material parameters and data as well as a glossary of terms in accordance with the most important industry standards. Written and edited by a truly international team of experts from academia, research institutes and industry, thoroughly reviewed by external colleagues, this handbook is well-attuned to educational demands, as well as providing a summary of state-of-the-art research trends and industrial requirements. It is an invaluable resource for all professionals in research and development, and engineers in practise in the field of wood science and technology.
