The effects of drying temperatures on the preservative retention and penetration of rubberwood

Rubberwood is highly susceptible to fungus and other bio deteriorating organisms attack. In order to fulfil the demand of rubberwood in wood-based industry, higher quality of rubberwood that is less susceptible to bio deteriorating organisms attack is needed. Proper treatment is needed to increase t...
