✦ Synopsis

Five wood biocides, (pentachlorophenol, copper-8-hydroxyquinolate, copper naphthenate, zinc naphthenate and tributyl tin oxide combined with lindane) were assessed for their ability to preserve softwood in a tropical environment. Biocide -treated wood blocks were exposed at the Joint Tropical Science Unit (JTSU), Innisfail, Queensland, Australia. Only samples treated with copper naphthenate showed consistently lower levels of biodeterioration when compared with untreated control specimens.
