Effects of two kinds of boronbased fungicides on the properties of Bambusa emeiensis bamboo scrimber.

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