Abstract
An economical treatment schedule, developed at the Kerala Forest Research Institute for boron impregnation of rubber wood, was tested in a commercial wood treatment plant. A pooled mean dry salt retention (DSR) of 12.4 kg/m3 was achieved for rubber wood in green condition with average moisture content of around 70%, using a 6% boric acid equivalent solution. This confirms the success of the schedule for commercial application, as the DSR achieved is much higher than the standard specification of many countries.
