Description

A series of metallic naphthenates were tested for their fungicidal and termiticidal effectiveness in the laboratory. Copper naphthenate peformed better than zinc naphthenate in wood decay control.<BR>In vacuum/soak impregnation treatment [JIS A 9301 (1976)], copper and zinc naphthenates could satisfactorily depress decay fungi at retentions of 0.5 and 1.0 kg/m3 as an elemental metal, respectively [JIS A 9302 (1976) ]. The former chemical proved effective in protecting timber from decay at 2.1kg/m3 even after the recently amended severer leaching schedules [JIS A 9201 (1991)]. When applied to brush treatment, copper naphthenate was effective at 2% Cu and 3%Cu concentrations, respectively after weathering of JWPA Standard 1 (1979) and the severer weathering [amended JWPA Standard 1 (1989) ], while zinc naphthenate did not perform well even at 4%Zn after the new weathering scheme. Noticeable effects of acid values were not shown for copper naphthenates, but for zinc naphthenates in brush application.<BR>As for the termiticidal effects of the test chemicals, copper naphthenate was efficacious at 1% Cu in wood block test [JWPA Standard 11 (1) (1981)] in which pine sapwood blocks treated with the chemicals by brushing were exposed to Formosan subterranean termites for three weeks. Zinc compounds were less effective, and 2%Zn was required to control termite attacks.
