Influence of Copper Content and Ligand Type from the Precursor Solution Used forCopper-dialkyl-dithio-carbamate (CDDC) Treatment of Wood
Copper dimethyl(diethyl) dithiocarbamate (CDDC) has been tested and proven to be an effective wood preservative. The following study was performed in order to understand the influence of copper content, ethanolamine type used in the Cu-precursor and the kind of alkyl dithiocarbamate ligand on the structure, crystallinity, penetration and bioefficiency of the CDDC. X-ray diffraction (XRD), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), leaching
