borate treatments

Borate treatments involve applying boron-based solutions to wood or other materials to protect them from fungi, insects, and moisture. Borates penetrate deeply into the material, disrupting the biological processes of mold, decay, and pests, thereby enhancing durability and lifespan. They are commonly used in wood preservation, especially before painting or sealing, because they are both effective and environmentally friendly. Borate treatments are also safe to handle and pose minimal health risks when used correctly. Overall, they serve as an effective protective barrier that maintains the integrity of building materials over time.
