Abstract: This study reported the effects of post-treatment processing of ammonical copper lignin complex A treated wood on subsequent retention level of preservative and copper content. Wrapping for 96 hours gave the best protection to wood in ground contact for 36 months, followed by steaming at 50 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
