A comprehensive review of copper-based wood preservatives: with a focus on new micronized or dispersed copper systems
2008
Freeman, Mike H. | McIntyre, Craig R.
This paper focuses on the wood preservation aspects of copper based biocides. Included in this review are the following: Above ground and ground contact efficacy, permanence in above ground and ground contact uses, soil and water contact leaching, effects on wood properties and certain fixation aspects of copper systems. Previously unpublished data on the new micronized/dispersed copper based wood preservative systems are also included. These micronized systems now dominate the U.S. residential treated wood market which in turn accounts for roughly 50 percent of global wood preservation usage.
