Abstract

A method of treating building materials with boron and boron treated building materials. The method involves introducing boron during manufacture of the building materials in the form of a water soluble copper-borate complex. The copper-borate complex enables a wider range of glues and adhesives to be used, is slower to leach out, and provides enhanced fungicidal properties.
