Organic boron compounds having an ability to hydrolyse in use, particularly orthoboric acid esters such as methoxy or ethoxy boranes or the mono or biboranes of glycols such as ethylene or hexylene glycol are used as wood preservatives, the alcohol liberated on hydrolysis or present as a result of manufacture being present as an absorption aid. The technique may particularly be applied to the preservation of wooden railway sleepers. |
