Abstract

Organic Chemistry

Forestry Sciences

A survey was conducted to determine the use of antistain chemicals by western softwood lumber producers in 2006. Half of those surveyed responded, and 31 percent of the respondents used antistain chemicals. The predominant species treated was Douglas-fir, but no single chemical was widely used. Instead, most mills used custom chemical formulations. The most common application method was by high-pressure spray unit. The results indicate that antistain chemicals remain an important part of the lumber production process due to customer perceptions regarding mold and discoloration.
