Abstract
This communication deals with the effect of dual preservative treatment techniques
using a water borne preservative (Copper- chrome-arsenic) followed by an oil borne preservative
(creosote) on Mangifera indica, commonly used in the construction of traditional
fishing craft. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of dual preservative treated timber
showed better retention of residual strength after exposure to marine conditions, compared
to timber treated with copper-chrome-arsenic composition and creosote separately.
