Abstract/Description: | The susceptibility of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) wood to marine borer attack limits its use for marine purposes. In the present study three types of biocides viz. copper creosote, arsenical creosote and a dual preservative treatment with copper- chrome- arsenic and creosote were selected for comparing their relative efficacy in preventing biodeterioration. The treated panels were exposed at the test site in Cochin harbour. The extent of internal damage through marine borer attack was assessed through visual observations, X-ray photographs and mechanical strength testing. The untreated test panels were destroyed within six months whereas it was found that preservative treatment prevented biodeterioration under marine conditions. This was confirmed by radiographic studies and comparison of compressive stress at maximum force. The service life of this cheaply and easily available timber can be increased to meet the growing demand of timber in the small-scale fisheries sector. |
