Chapter 7 - Treatment processes of bamboo
2010 - IRG/WP 07-10635-07
For adequate penetration and retention of preservatives in woody
bamboos at green, dry, solid and sliced conditions different possible
and applied treatment processes have been described along with
their classifications. The treated bamboo can be used as building
materials; the sufficient treatability ensures its long-term best
utilization at ground contact and indoor. All the processes descr...

Chapter 8 - Episode of bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-08
In this chapter 7 (seven) poems entitled “The Bamboo’s Preface”,
“The Bamboo’s Interim”, “The Fast Growing Grass”, “The Wild
Grasses”, “The Bamboo’s Episode”, “The Bamboo’s Outlook”, “The
Commitment” have been composed based on the habit, nature,
introduction, properties, values, outlooks, importance, uses and
melodies of bamboos in Asia. The conservation a...

Chapter 10 - Preservation of muli bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-10
Environmentally and economically very important mulibamboo
(Melocanna baccifera) grown in Bangladesh was fond to be easily
pressure treatable with CCA-C at green and air dry conditions. The
green and air-dried bamboo treated at same treating conditions and
concentration showed 110 per cent (2.10-times) higher retention in
air-dried bamboo than green one. Adequate lower retention
equivalent t...

Chapter 11 - Preservation of talla bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-11
Researches revealed that the talla bamboo (Bambusa tulda Roxb.))
in Bangladesh could be full-cell pressure treated with CCA in green
and dry conditions. The dry bamboo gives higher loading
absorptions than green one when impregnated at same treating
conditions. Also higher absorptions are obtained at nodes rather
than internodes. Adequate penetration and retention results for
ground and wate...

Chapter 12 - Treatment Groups of Bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-12
Study on distribution of CCA in three major bamboo species in
Bangladesh, full-cell pressure treated at green and dry conditions
revealed two treatment groups and some treating principles. Higher
adequate treatment for ground and water contact use is only
possible by treating problematic bamboo species pre-kiln dried up to
half of its FSP and non-problematic species pre-dried up to FSP
(20% ...

Chapter 13 - Slow fixation of CCA-treated bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-13
Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) leachability tests on full-cell
pressure impregnated (with 2-3% CCA solution) and slow dried (six
months air-drying under cover) bamboo block of three major
bamboo species of Bangladesh revealed initial insignificant leaching
of CCA within first week and no leaching in next week. Use of low
concentration of CCA, release of particle form of CCA due to
exposure ...

Chapter 14 - Accelerated fixation of CCA-treated bamboo
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-14
Chromated copper arsenate type C (CCA-C) fixation study on
impregnated (with adequate w/v 6% CCA solution) then boiled,
oven-dried, normal, air-dried and steamed bamboo slices of airdried
borakbamboo (Bambusa balcooa Roxb.) of Bangladesh,
revealed almost complete fixation in steamed (accelerated fixation)
and air-dried (3 weeks, slow fixation) bamboo slices compared to
moderate to low fixati...

Chapter 15 - Glossary of essential terms
2007 - IRG/WP 07-10635-15
The object of this glossary is to make available to the persons, students and
others interested in treated bamboo and also in the Science and Technology of
Bamboo, a standard set of definitions (defined by AWPA 1996, USDA 1987,
Mullins and McKnight 1981, different literatures cited herein and by the
Author) of those terms used commonly in the bamboo preserving industry/forest

Performance of boron diffused wood products used indoors for 144 months in Bangladesh
2012 - IRG/WP 12-30581
In this service performance study of boron diffused hardwoods, boron in the form of boric acid (H3BO3) was applied separately through paste and through wet cloth. The born diffused woods were kept indoors for 144-months in Bangladesh to ascertain the performance of treated wood against wood destroying insects. The new easy application processes of cost effectual boric acid have been found effectiv...

Performance superiority of CCA-C treated wooden jetty poles and piles used for 30 years in Bangladesh against marine borers
2012 - IRG/WP 12-30582
Observational study along with previous investigation and records revealed that chromated copper arsenate type C (CCA-C) impregnated southern pine poles and piles of jetty constructed in most vulnerable brackish water in Bangladesh are stable and resistant to attack of all types of marine borers after 30 years of use. It is evident from the service records of other construction materials that CCA-...

Environmental safeness of 60% and 72% concentrated CCA-C solution and paste for wood treatment
2012 - IRG/WP 12-50284
In this study 30-years practical and observational experience of the present author about using of 72% concentrated CCA-C paste for preparing treating solutions and for treating wooden poles, anchor logs and cross arms has revealed that the 60% concentrated CCA-C solution is superior to the 72% concentrated CCA-C paste regarding solubility, homogeneity, cleanliness, treatability, sludge formation,...
