Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate preservative efficacy for refractory species in field tests. The field tests were set up to evaluate the preservative performance of western hemlock and white spruce preservative-treated to the residential products group C and D of Canadian standard (CSA O80 Series-08) that have been developed for residential use in above-ground and ground-contact conditions, respectively. They were incised and pressure-treated with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) or copper azole (CA). Treated samples for the ground contact stake test and ground proximity test were installed in Jinju, Korea on November 2010 according to AWPA E7-09 and AWPA E18-06, respectively. Each sample has been annually assigned ratings for decay and termite attack, based on AWPA E7 grading system. After six years and five months of exposure, the untreated samples showed decay and particularly severe damage by termite attack but all the preservative-treated samples showed no decay. The results showed that the 5-mm penetration depths may be applicable for the treatment of refractory species. This paper discusses what to consider for the use of refractory species in Korean wood preservation industry from the penetration and retention points of view.

본 연구는 국내야외시험을 통하여 난주입수종의 방부성능을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 난주입수종의 방부처리에 적합하다고 판단되는 캐나다 방부목재 표준규격 CSA O80 Series-08 중 주거용 방부목 그룹 C와 D에 따라 방부 처리된 웨스턴 헴록과 스프루스의 방부성능을 야외시험을 통해 평가하였다. 제조된 샘플들은 자상처리를 실시한 후 alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ)와 copper azole (CA)로 방부처리를 실시하였다. 성능시험용 시편들은 2010년 11월 경남 진주에 조성된 야외시험장에서 AWPA E7-09와 AWPA E18-06 방법에 따라 지접부 및 지상부 성능시험을 수행하였으며 매년 정기점검을 통해 시편들의 부후 및 흰개미 가해상태가 조사되었다. 2017년 3월까지 약 6년 5개월 동안의 국내 야외시험 결과를 살펴보면 무처리 시편에서는 부후와 흰개미 가해가 심하게 발생되었지만 방부처리된 시편에서는 거의 발생하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 국내 목재사용환경에서 5 mm 침윤깊이의 적용가능성을 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 국내목재방부산업에서 난주입수종의 활용을 증가시키기 위해 고려되었으면 하는 부분을 침윤도와 보유량의 관점에서 논의한다.
