Creator:

Gezer, Engin Derya, Michael, Judd H., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.

Abstract:

Although boron has many advantages as a wood preservative, this chemical performs poorly in leaching exposures. In this study, we investigated the potential for decreasing the leachability of boron preservatives with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Southern pine (Pinus spp.) test samples impregnated with combinations of sodium borate or boric acid and...
