Abstract
The objective of this project was to evaluate the potential synergistic combinations of environmentally-safe biocides as wood preservatives. Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) was combined with either chlorothalonil (CTN), tribromophenol (TBP) or sodium omadine (NaO) to provide the syntergistic mixtures. A total of five systems were examined; one oil-borne (DDAC:CTN) and four water-borne (oil-in-water emulsions) mixtures, including DDAC:NaO with a water repellant. Wood treated with these preservatives was evaluated in both soil contact and above-ground exposure, with CCA and pentachlorophenol (penta) treated wood used as positive controls. The treated wood was evaluated for both biocide efficacy and depletion. The water-borne DDAC:TBP and DDAC:NaO formulations performed poorly in the field tests and, consequently, are not viable wood preservative systems. However, the addition of a water repellent to the DDAC:NaO system greatly improve the performance in above-ground tests, suggesting that this may be a good preservative for this application. The oil-borne DDAC:CTN formulation is performing very well and may be viable wood preservation system. The water-borne DDAC:CTN formulation is performing moderately well at this time but appears to suffer from excessive CTN leaching; this deficiency probably can be corrected with a modified formulation.
