A Critical and Comprehensive Review of Boron in Wood Preservation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Borates have played an ever-increasing role in the preservation of wood worldwide and especially in the USA since the voluntary cancellation of CCA for residential lumber use patterns in 2004. However, there has not been a review of the efficacy and performance of borates, especially Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, outside of the AWPA Data Package submitted by Nicholas and Preston in 1988 and the Review by Drysdale in the IRG literature in 1994. The purpose of this publication is to have, in one location, the commonly referred to efficacy information on borates in wood preservation.
