Anticorrosive wood is not suitable for use in all situations: Anticorrosive wood is not suitable for use in all situations. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to clarify what the wood is used for, such as furniture, floors, trails, fences, wooden bridges, and house structures, especially whether it is in contact with food and feed, and then it can be judged whether anticorrosive wood should be used. For example, if you want to make or buy a Ming-style wooden bed for the bedroom, there is no need to use anticorrosive wood, unless it is wood that is particularly prone to decay and insect infestation.
Let me give you an example of an anticorrosive wood that should be used but was not used: A real estate developer in Beijing used wooden boards for exterior walls (decoration) and treated them with tung oil. As a result, it did not take long for the building to be used. Later, anticorrosive wood was used, and the problem was solved. Let me give you another example of an anticorrosive wood that should not be used but was used: Some people in Guangdong use rubber wood as a cutting board for cutting vegetables and meat in the kitchen. Boron compounds and sodium pentachlorophenol are used for anticorrosive treatment of rubber wood. The latter is highly toxic. Long-term use of toxic substances will accumulate in the human body and cause poisoning. Therefore, ordinary wood can be used without anticorrosive treatment.
In simple terms, try not to use wood preservatives on furniture and decorations used indoors, especially on items that come into contact with food and feed, such as food packaging materials, tea boxes, horse feed troughs, pet bowls, etc. Do not use wood preservatives, especially CCA preservatives. For example, beehives cannot use CCA preservatives, but can use antiseptic wood treated with ACQ preservatives, which are highly safe and environmentally friendly.
