Abstract

This  study was conducted to provide basic information  on the treatment of some wood species using a copper bichromated boron (CCB).  The specimens  were treated with CCB for 2 hours  in a 150 psi of full cell process.  The treated and untreated wood samples were tested against marine borers for 4, 8 and 12  months.  The results indicated that full cell process with CCB were able  to prevent marine borers  attack. Untreated  wood  specimens were susceptible to marine borers attack, except Iara (Metrosiderospetiolata Kds.) and kandole  (Diploknema oligomera HJ.L.).  The attacking borers  are Martesia striata Linn of the Pholadidae   family, Teredo bartschi Clapp.,  Dicyathifer manni Wright and Bankia  cieba Clench.  of the Teredinidae family. However, crustaceans   were found clinging to the wood specimens when they were taken from the sea. These crustaceans belongs to Sphaeromatidae family.

Abstract

Recently, timber  estate or plantation forest plays an important role on wooden based industries.  However, the  plantation timber  quality is relatively low.  Some treatments  have been developed to improve  its low quality, such as preservation with CCB (Chromate Copper Boron) and impregnation with plastic compounds. This study is to compare the durability of timber treated with  plastic and CCB,  non-treated from plantation forest timber  as well  as from natural  forest. The plantation timber  studied were  jeungjing  (Paraserianthes falcataria), damar  (Agathis sp.), pinus  (Pinus merkusii), and rubberwood (Hevea brasilliensis). Non-treated timbers that usually used for marine construction were ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri), jati/teak  (Tectona grandis), laban (Vitex pubescens) and merbau  (Instia bijuga). After  6 and 12 months,  the results showed that CCB  preserved  timber  were  more durable  than plastic  impregnated timber  and non- treated timber. Wood samples were mostly attacked by marine borer organisms from the family of  Pholadidae  and Teredinidae. The experiment results revealed the possibility of using those plantation forest timber species for marine construction purposes.
