The physical properties of boards treated with vapor boron

Several physical properties of medium density fiberboard, particleboard, and oriented strandboard were investigated after the boards had been treated to two retention levels of boric acid applied as a vapor phase system. The test retentions represented levels appropriate for protection against biological attack and fire. The physical properties investigated include swell, mass increase after water soaking, hysteresis over a range of 30 to 90 percent, and dimensional changes associated with changes in relative humidity; vapor boron treatment did not significantly affect these properties of the board at both retention levels studied.
