Boron is one of nature’s best wood preservatives and is ideal for the protection of many types of wood products. It is economical, easy to use and effective against a very broad range of decay fungi, moulds and insect pests that can infect wood.
arxada offer the industry leading range of boron based wood preservatives for solid wood and timber products used in appearance and structural applications. Our boron wood preservative family of products can be applied by simple dipping processes through to fully automated pressure impregnation processes.
Our Brands Include:
Certain hardwoods including some well-known Eucalyptus species where used as flooring and joinery are susceptible to beetle borers such as Lyctus borer which can affect the appearance and value of these premium timbers.

Treatment of certain hardwoods with boron can result in accumulation of tannin and other dark coloured extractives from the wood in the treatment solution which produces a darkened appearance of wood after treatment. Addition of Brightener™ Solution can clean up discoloured boron treatment preservatives quickly by deactivating those extractives. This results in a fresher and cleaner appearance of the treated wood.
