| Abstract | A detailed study on arsenical creosote with reference to leaching, corrosion and anti-borer properties was carried out. Results showed that aging had very little effect on the preservative which suggested better fixation of the preservative into the wood. Corrosion of mild steel, galvanised iron, aluminium-magnesium alloy (M57S) and copper panels in the preservative was found to be negligible, Normal creosote and low temperature creosote of Regional Research Laboratory, Hyderabad, both fortified with arsenic trioxide resisted borer damage on wooden panels for a period of over five months in the port of Cochin. The performance of low temperature creosote fortified with arsenic was found to be equally satisfactory when compared to normal creosote fortified in the same manner A loading of 208.6 Kgs/m3 for Haldu (Adina cordifolia) and 138 Kgs/m3 for Mango (Mangifera indica) in the case of normal creosote and 177 Kgs/m3 for Mango in the case of RRL creosote were found to be sufficient for treating the wood. |
