N2  - Susceptibility of rubber wood to fungal and insect attack limits its wider utilisation. Rubber wood is very permeable and it does not pose any problem for diffusion of chemicals into the wood. This study found that immersing 25 mm thick material in a 10;boric acid equivalent solution containing 0.5;sodium pentachlorophenoxide for 40 minutes gave adequate loading of chemicals even at ambient temperature of about 30 degree C. It was found that increasing the immersion time does not increase the loading of chemicals appreciably
