Non-toxic agents against fungal attack of wood material
Scientists at the University of Göttingen developed new anti-fungal agents for the treatment and protection of wood and wood composites. They use amine containing polymers, which work both fungicide and as adhesion mediators between wood and organic polymer layers. In addition have a blocking effect against the penetration of discolouring materials from the wood into varnish or films. These agents are easily applied via coating, dipping, spraying etc.
