Influence of Norway Spruce and European Larch Heartwood Ring-Width on Extractive Content and Durability
Norway spruce and European larch wood are among the most important species for construction applications in central Europe. In order to assess the influence of the ring-widths and presence of the extractives on the performance of these wood species against wood decays fungi, Soxlet extracted and…

Vpliv izbranih okoljskih dejavnikov na dinamiko vlaženja bukovine
Beech is one of the most important tree species in Slovenia. Unfortunately, there is much more beech wood incremented annually than consumed. Thus, it is of great importance to develop new applications for use of beech wood. One of the possible solutions is use of beech in outdoor applications…

Influence of Artificial and Natural Weathering on the Moisture Dynamic of Wood
Wood that is used in outdoor applications is frequently exposed to weathering and is thus prone to fungal degradation. Ways to prevent fungal degradation include keeping the wood dry. The majority of hydrophobic and wood modification systems have been tested only on freshly treated wood. Little…

Copper Leaching from Copper-ethanolamine Treated Wood: Comparison of Field Test Studies and Laboratory Standard Procedures
Copper-based compounds are some of the most important biocides for the protection of wood in heavy duty applications. In the past, copper was combined with chromium compounds to reduce copper leaching, but a recent generation of copper-based preservatives uses ethanolamine as a fixative. To…

Inorganic pollutants in used windows
Although the circular economy and use of secondary raw materials are becoming increasingly important, recycled wood is currently still very poorly utilised, with most used to produce energy. One potential sources of recycled wood is old wooden windows. Many wooden windows are now being replaced due…

Povezava med razkrojenostjo bukovine in globino prodora igle Pilodyn 6J
Assessment of white rot decay is one of the most important issues for appropriate treatment of infested wooden commodities, particularly damaged constructions. Pilodyn is a well-established tool for assessing density of several commercially important plantation species, therefore we were interested…

Performance of Native and Copper-Ethanolamine-Treated Wood Exposed to Seawater at Port of Koper, Slovenia
The application of wood in seawater is one of the most challenging. Impregnated wood is exposed to leaching and to various marine borers, Limnoria sp. and Teredo sp. being the most important ones. The present research investigated the durability of pine wood impregnated with copper-amine based…

Influence of Artificial and Natural Weathering on the Hydrophobicity and Surface Properties of Wood
The use of wood in outdoor, above-ground applications is increasing in Europe. To further increase wood usage, more information related to service life and maintenance costs must be provided. Water exclusion efficacy (WEE) is one of the most important factors influencing service life and strongly…

Vpliv podnebnih sprememb na dinamiko glivnega razkroja lesa v Sloveniji
The intensity of fungal decay depends mainly on wood species, temperature and precipitation events. To estimate the planned service life of wood and to determine the maintenance intervals of wooden buildings, it is necessary to assess how wood behaves in a given environment. There are a variety of…

Tehnična in estetska življenjska doba lesa
In outdoor applications wood is exposed to biotic and abiotic degradation factors. These processes are essential for carbon circulation. However, if wood is used in commercial applications, these processes need to be slowed down as much as possible. When wood is degraded, it has to be replaced. In…

Influence of Polyethylene and Oxidized Polyethylene Wax Emulsions on Leaching Dynamics of Boric Acid from Impregnated Spruce Wood
Boron biocides belong to the most frequently used ingredients of commercial wood preservatives. They are very effective fungicides and insecticides, but they do not react with wood and thus leach from it in wet applications. This fact signifi cantly limits use of boron compounds in the field of…

Properties of blue-stained wood
Discoloration of wood is frequently caused by blue-stain fungi. Among them Aureobasidium pullulans and Sclerophoma pithyophila are reported as the most important staining organism. In previous researches, it was generally considered that blue-stain fungi do not influence mechanical properties…
