Liquid Wood Preservatives

  • Chapter
Conservation of Wood Artifacts

Part of the book series: Natural Science in Archaeology ((ARCHAEOLOGY))

Abstract

Wood preservation encompasses all measures designed to permanently prevent the damage or destruction of wood and wood-based materials by insects, fungi, marine borers, or bacteria. These measures may be preventive or a control of an active attack. Preventive measures include regulation of environmental factors, construction details in buildings, and chemical treatments. Control measures include structural, physical, and chemical treatments. Among the measures relating to building technology are selection of resistant wood species and detailing to protect wood from moisture accumulation and the effects of the weather. Physical methods to preserve wood include the application of heat, cold, and electromagnetic waves such as microwaves and gamma rays. Chemical preservative methods entail the use of preservatives or fumigants.
