Marine exposure trials on two treated timbers used for fabricating catamarans

摘要

Marine exposure trials were conducted on Albizia lebbeck and Tetrameles nudiflora timbers after pressure impregnation with two common wood preservatives viz. copper-chrome-arsenic and copper-chrome-boric. Results of the trials indicate that use of thetwo timber species would yield the envisaged benefits if catamarans are fabricated out of them after due treatment.
