- Abstract
In the Colombian Coffee Region, the effectiveness of the chemical preservation of Guadua angustifolia Kunth using the submersion in a boron solution was investigated. Samples between 50 and 60 cm of length with different diameters and wall thickness were used with and without clump-curing. They were submerged in three different boron concentrations with a relation of borax:boric acid of 1:2, using different submersion times (3 to 5 days) and different temperatures (20 to 80 C). The quality of the preservation is controlled significantly by the initial moisture content of a sample, the specific weight, the concentration of the solution, the submersion time, and the temperature of the solution. Mathematical models were created to control the concentration of the solution and for the determination of the retention and the penetration of boron compounds into guadua using the submersion technique.
