ORIENTED STRAND BOARD


The forest products industry is undergoing a fundamental shift from old-growth forests to short-rotation, plantation forests. As a result, more builders are relying on wood composites like oriented strand board for a wide array of construction materials. Wood composites - like other wood products - must be protected from wood destroying insects and decay fungi. That protection is built in by treating wood composites with zinc borates during the manufacturing process.

Borax supplies Composibor® and Borogard® for protecting wood composites.
