basic specific gravity, moisture content, fiber saturation point, coefficient of swelling, anti-swelling index, anisotropyAbstract
The objective of the research was to evaluate whether the impregnation of wood with boron salts reduces its hygroscopicity and improves its dimensional stability. In samples of small dimensions of wood of Spathodea campanulata, Fraxinus americana and Albizia plurijuga, a hot-cold treatment of boron salts with a concentration of 3% was applied. Hygroscopy tests were carried out and both before and after impregnation with boron salts, the basic density, moisture content, radial, tangential, longitudinal and volumetric hygroexpansions, fiber saturation points, coefficients of hygroexpansion, anti-expansion index and anisotropy ratio were analyzed. After bathing, the hygroscopic characteristics were modified according to the species and directions observed. The treatment improves the dimensional stability of S. campanulata by 63%, of F. americana by 21% and for A. plurijuga by 18%. It is advisable to investigate the influence of anatomical characteristics on the hygroscopic properties of these species.
