Borate treatment

Borate treatment involves applying a solution containing borate compounds to wood or other surfaces to protect them from decay, fungi, and insects. Borates act as a preservative by penetrating the material, disrupting the biological processes of pests and fungi, thereby preventing damage. This treatment is often used in woodworking, construction, and farm structures, offering an effective and environmentally friendly method to enhance durability and longevity without the need for heavy chemicals. It also provides some resistance to mold and algae growth, extending the life of the treated surfaces.
