Özet

The preservative treatment of wood was reviewed according to the literature. Wood may be protected from the action of destructive agents -such as fungi, insects, marine organisms, and fire-by preservative treatment (Tsoumis, 1991). In this case, wood preservative chemicals can be impregnated into wood by various processes using a variety of carrier solvents or gases (Eaton and Hale, 1993).

This affects the preservative uptake despite the pressure being applied. Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory treatment of some species of wood a problem facing the timber preservation industry.
