Propolis and organosilanes in wood protection. Part I: FTIR analysis and biological tests

Abstract

Propolis and organosilanes in wood protection. Part I: FTIR analysis and biological tests. The paper presents the preliminary results of chemical and biological analyses of wood treated with a formulation based on ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) and organosilicon compounds (methyltrimethoxysilane – MTMOS, vinyltrimethoxysilane – VTMOS). The results of biological test indicate the potential fungistatic properties of above mentioned formulation against C. puteana. The durability of the chemical bonds between wood and protecting system was confirmed by the chemical analysis using FTIR spectroscopy.
