- W2550163540 abstract "In the mid 1990s, FPInnovations - Forintek Division initiated a study of the termite resistance of borate-treated lumber above ground, protected from rain in Canada, Japan and Hawaii. The material included hemlock and amabilis fir lumber treated with disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Reference materials included Hinoki in Japan ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) treated Douglas-fir in Hawaii and western red cedar in Canada. The samples were evaluated annually for termite attack. In Canada all of the treated material was found to be performing equally well, with some pieces showing residual signs of early superficial feeding or cosmetic damage. Attack was moderate on untreated controls. Similar results were found in Japan with the exception of 2% borate shell treatments with DDAC in which two samples were rated as moderately or severely attacked. In Hawaii, where termite attack was more severe 2% and 3% BAE (boric acid equivalent) borate through treatments and ACZA performed better than the others. After ten years, the tests in Japan and Hawaii were terminated. The Hawaii samples, which had suffered the most attack, were examined by Forintek’s CT scanner to determine the extent of internal damage not detectable by a visual rating. This revealed that the 3% through borate treatments contained the least termite damage and 2% through borate treatments had negligible attack. The borate treated pieces returned from Hawaii were also subjected to measurements of compression stiffness at seven points along their length. Results showed that the stiffness of any specimen was similar along its length. Only the 2% shell treated samples showed statistically significantly lower stiffness than the 3% through treated samples which had no internal damage. Five borate-treated dodai from each group from Hawaii and Japan were destructively sectioned for analysis of residual borate. Generally, the amount of borate retained was less on the outer surfaces (top, sides, and bottom). There did not appear to be a correlation between the treatment type and the percentage of borate retained, nor between the rating given the piece for decay and the percent of borate retained. In summary, ten-year results of field exposure in Hawaii and Japan, in relatively aggressive termite feeding situations, support the conclusion that borate treatments can provide long-term protection from destructive termite attack to structural lumber. A 2% BAE through-treatment performed better than CCA treated hem-fir in Japan and Hawaii. Plantation-grown Hinoki" @default.
