The effect of Boric acid/Borax treatment on selected mechanical and combustion properties of poplar laminated veneer lumber.

Th e eff ect of Boric acid/Borax (BA/BX) treatment by spraying method on selected mechanical and combustion properties of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) (15 ply, 2 mm veneer ticknes prdued frm hybrid poplarPopuus Eumericana Canadenss and phenol formaldehyde adhesive were investigated. Th e results showed that modulus of rupture (MOR) and selected combustion properties of LVLs increased with addition of BA/BX.
