Wood becomes stronger when wet, a 'chalk-like wood preservative' containing boric acid.
"Boreit Stick" is a wood preservative that solidifies borate wood preservative DOT (sodium borate decahydrate) into a chalk-like form using special technology. "Borate" has excellent antifungal and termite-repelling effects. However, it has the drawback of being easily soluble in water, which means borate treatment cannot be applied to wood that gets wet. Therefore, the product developed with a reverse approach is "Boreit Stick." When wood containing "Boreit Stick" gets wet, the DOT that dissolves from the "Boreit Stick" slowly spreads according to the moisture contained in the wood. The DOT that spreads within the wood protects it from decay and termite damage. It has been used in public facilities (such as parks and wooden bridges). Over 1,600 "Boreit Sticks" have been treated in the preservation work of the wooden bridge "Tokiwa Bridge" in Kitakyushu.

Meaningless Synthetic Insecticide Treatment Until now, in Japan, when building a wooden house, in most cases, treatment with synthetic insecticides for preservation and termite prevention has been carried out. Since synthetic insecticides derived from pesticides do not have long-lasting effects, re-treatment is necessary every few years. However, properly re-treating incurs a significant economic burden and poses risks to the health of residents and the ecosystem, as well as the global environment. As a result, very few houses are actually re-treated, and the reality is that most wooden houses in Japan are defenseless against decay and termites. Future Preservation and Termite Prevention with "Boric Acid" On the other hand, are you aware that "boric acid," a natural material, has preservation and termite prevention effects? In Europe and the United States, where there are strict regulations on pesticides, boric acid treatment has already become standard. In Japan, with proper knowledge and techniques, safe and secure boric acid measures for preservation and termite prevention can be implemented. Boric acid, being an inorganic substance, does not volatilize and maintains its effectiveness for a long time when treated during construction. It is economically reassuring as it does not require re-treatment. Due to its high safety, it can be applied to all structural materials, and it is effective against the expanding damage caused by the American wood-destroying termite.
