One of primary uses of coconut wood is for building construction. Coconut timber is suitable for housing components like trusses, purlins, joists, doors, window frames and jalousies. This beautiful grain and attractive natural appearance also can be promising material for furniture, handicrafts, etc. But this coconut wood also has insolvent. It is not good enough to use as a main structure of the house because it is easily attack by termites unless it is treated.

       We have a good technique for this insolvent, it calls soaking wood. We have our own treatment tank and expert operator. Our technique is by using Borax and Boric acid through the wood with pressure tank and water as conversion aspect. Borax and boric acid solution has penetrated to the whole area of coconut woods. Whether is a beam or pole,  “Why Borax and Boric?”…. these chemical additions are practically nontoxic to birds, mammals, and friendly to environment in accurate constituent. It is relatively nontoxic to bees and plants. Relatively high concentrations of boron compounds are toxic to insects, and borax is used for insect control in some cases.

       Treated Coconut wood has proven to be comparable to conventional wood in terms of durability, sturdiness, and versatility often at considerable lower cost. The use of coconut wood as a substitute material for building construction could bring down the cost of housing unit. This is because its cost is half or a little more than half the price of conventional wood. “Those technique may use to another softwood, rubber wood for an example”.
