Tie Dual Treatments with TimBor and Creosote or Copper Naphthenate 20 Years Of Exposure In AWPA Hazard Zone 4

摘要

In the spring of 1985, Lonnie H. Williams (USDA Forest Service, Southern Forest Experiment Station) and Terry L. Amburgey (Mississippi State University, MSU) designed a series of tests to determine the utility of borate dip-diffusion treatments in protecting a variety of wooden products.rnOne of these studies conducted at MSU in the summer and fall of 1985 was begun to test the hypothesis that borate dip-diffusion treatments of unseasoned crossties would protect them from decay fungi and insects during air seasoning.
