LUMBER AND PLYWOOD  Wood is among the world's most sustainable building materials. In fact, trees' ability to absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen make wood the only building material that has a positive impact on the environment. Treating lumber and plywood used for homes and other structures with borates provides protection from termites - including the voracious Formosan termite - decay fungi, carpenter ants, and wood boring beetles. Lumber and plywood can be treated through a vacuum pressure process, or by diffusion. Pressure-treatment is used most often in North America while other parts of the world rely on diffusion. While both methods are effective, treatment standards may differ according to location. Choose Tim-borŪ Industrial for protecting lumber and plywood. To Learn More:
