Assessment of the biological durability of oil palm trunk modified with 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxy-ethyleneurea (DMDHEU) following subsequent curing at elevated temperatures by Rosli, Siti Nurul Ashikin, Chin, Kit Ling, Lee, Chuan Li, Maminski, Mariusz, Abdullah, Luqman Chuah, Toczylowska-Maminska, Renata

“…High curing temperature (> 180 °C) caused cracks and ruptured the cell walls, exposing the untreated zone of the OPT to biological attack. As a non-biocidal wood modification, homogeneous dispersion of DMDHEU with adequate concentration and curing temperature is important to fully prevent OPT degradation by wood-destroying fungi and termites. …”
