Biological Durability of Acetylated Hornbeam Wood with Soil Contact in Hungary

This test aimed to discover if industrially acetylated hornbeam can tolerate real-field conditions in Hungary, where various microorganisms attack the wood separately or cooperatively. Untreated samples accompanied modified assess degradation capacity of soil. The also focused on weather parameters, Scheffer index, and soil properties. untreated stakes showed insect damage, soft rot decay, white wasp stripping, moss, cracks. All beech broke after 3.5 years, last Scots pine sapwood 6 years. To date, exhibits stronger resistance than hornbeam, beech, sapwood. no decay years exposure, they became dry shortly being taken from Acetylated stake number 7 had superficial brown 18 months, which gradually worsened over Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that this lower acetyl content. It was associated with wood; it a wet pocket part not as permeable achieved grade acetylation.
