Sulphur is being tried in Germany as wood
preservative. 1t is applied in molten form. and
as 1t hardens it completely fills the pores. At
moderate temperatures it is unaffected by
water, weak or strong acids, or alkaline solu-
lions. disadvantage is that the sulphur melts
at 1l5o f.. and this makes the treated wood unfit
for PLACES exposed to considerable heat. The
best wood for use with this process is poplar,
the trials of oak and pine having been much
less satisfactory.
