Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of zinc borate(ZB)and sodiumborate/boric acid(SBX)on the physical,mechanical and moldresistant properties of bamboo scrimber bonded with PF, and NaPCP was taken as the control. The results showed that the effects of ZB and SBX on the blue stainresistant efficacy were very poor. Adding ZB and SBX would undermine the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber, but highly improve moldresistant performances of the panels. The reasonable loading levels preventing mildew for ZB and SBX were 0.70% and 0.49%,respectively.
