Abstract
The permanence properties (leaching, water absorption, evaporation) and the biological effectiveness (protection against termite and fungal attack) of medium temperature creosote and high temperature creosote, and of creosote/waxy oil mixture were investigated. The high temperature creosote outperformed the medium temperature creosote in respect of leachability, but the latter was superior regarding Performance against termite and fungal attack. The creosote/waxy oil mixture (70 per cent medium temperature creosote, plus 30 per cent waxy oil) proved to be more effective against termite attack, but especially against fungal attack, and showed reduced leaching, when compared with the pure creosotes.
