Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9707946A1] The invention relates to the treatment of timber and particularly to a method of fixing the active termiticide/fungicide component of boric acid within timber to be treated. The method includes chemically reacting the boric acid with a substance that contains an amine group component as a radical and that can solidify through polymerisation, forming the borate form of the substance. This borate form of the substance can then be dissolved in a solvent and applied to timber to be treated, evaporation of the solvent permitting solidification of the borate form of the substance through polymerisation thereof, thereby providing for the active termiticide/fungicide component of the boric acid to be attached to the timber for the protection of the timber.
