Effects of mDMDHEU treatment on mold and fungal resistance of Canarium album wood

Studying the effects of concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30% and fixing the curing at temperature 120°C for 8 hours to resist against fungi by characterizing the mass loss rate; the resistance against mold characterized by the discolored area ratio. Although the process of treating Canarium album should increase the resistance against mold, it is trivial. The discolored area ratio of untreated sample is over 85% while the percentage area of the discoloration of treated wood samples with chemical concentrations reached from 78.26 to 45.54%, decreased from 12.74% to 48.44%. The treated Canarium album by mDMDHEU force the increase of the resistance against mold. The mass loss by white rot fungi Trametes corrugate (Pers.) Bress of untreated Canarium album is about 43‐45% while the rate of untreated sample is from 7.36% to 3.63%. Additionally, the mass loss by white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus of untreated Canarium album is about 24‐26% while the rate of untreated sample is from 7.29% to 3.19%. Moreover, the mass loss by brown rod fungi Daedalea quercina (L.) Pers of untreated and treated Canarium album is about 24‐26% and 8.44‐ 8.39%, respectively
