Improved termite resistance of wood by wax impregnation

International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2010
[EN] We investigated the effect of wax-treated and biocide-free wood specimens against three different termite species. A laboratory no-choice test with Reticulitermes banyulensis Clement was carried out in Valencia (Spain) under Mediterranean conditions for eight weeks.

Termite-resistant heartwood. Effect of antioxidants on termite feeding deterrence and mortality

Holzforschung, 2010
Abstract Biocides currently employed to prevent termite damage face environmental and toxicity concerns. We recently proposed that heartwood which is naturally resistant to termites might be due to the extractives having both toxicity and antioxidant properties and we reported that the artificial and benign antioxidant butylated ...

Binderless Particleboard Resistance to Termite Attack

Forest Products Journal, 2012
Abstract Three particleboard types, including urea-formaldehyde (UF), melamine-formaldehyde (MF), and binderless, were made from three wood species, sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), gmelina (Gmelina arborea), and mindi (Melia azedarach). Wood particle sizes of 10 to 20 mesh were manufactured for the 30 by 30 by 0.7-cm (length by width by ...

Blockboard with boron-treated veneers: laboratory decay and termite resistance tests

International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2005
This study is evaluated by measuring the weight loss, and the ability of white- and brown-rot fungi and termites to attack untreated and boron-treated blockboard manufactured using untreated fir (Abies bornmulleriana M.) strips sandwiched between Ekaba (Tetraberlinia bifoliolata Harms.) veneers at final assembly.

Decay and termite resistance of plywood treated with various fire retardants

Building and Environment, 2007
This study evaluated the ability of white and brown rot fungi and termites to decompose fire retardant-treated (FRT) or untreated-plywood by measuring mass loss. Plywood was manufactured using Ekaba (Tetraberlinia bifoliolata Harms.) veneers which were previously treated with either boric acid, borax, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), or di-ammonium ...
