Abstract

internal decay douglas-fir remedial treatment boron fluoride
The ability of boron and fluoride to migrate from a boron/fluoride rod was investigated over a 15 year period in Douglas-fir pole sections. Both components readily moved through the wood, but boron tended to be present at higher levels over the test reflecting the much higher boron content of the rods. The overall chemical levels suggested that higher dosages would be needed to more fully protect Douglas-fir poles.
