Fungal decay resistance of wood reacted with phosphorus pentoxide-amine system
Resistance of wood reacted in situ with phosphorus
pentoxide-amine to the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum
trabeum and white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor was
examined. Wood reacted with either octyl, tribromo, or
nitro derivatives were more resistant to both fungi.
Threshold retention values of phosphoramide-reacted
wood to white-rot fungus T. versicolor ranged from 2.9
to 13.3 mmol, while these for brown-rot fungus G. trabeum
ranged from 8.1 to 19.2 mmol. Wood reacted with
phosphoramide tested to be more resistant to white-rot
than brown-rot attack.
