bamboo canes. Binding the bamboo together or to separate and store them in tanks
or in running water one of the main part. While the storage of bamboo in the tank
necessary to change the water weekly, this will prevent the growth of bacteria that can
cause unpleasant odor and discoloration of bamboo. It is necessary to use loadings
for full immersion of bamboo in water. Bamboo should be immersed in water with
times, after extraction, it is worth using further chemical treatment. Bamboo should
be immersed for at least 3–4 weeks. Bamboo that has been leached for 3 months
or more may become stained in the epidermis. This will reduce its physical and
mechanical properties (Schröder, November 14, 2012).
For green bamboo, apply heat treatment, most of the moisture remains inside the
canes. The dried bamboo is subjected to boron treatment. Therefore, some finished
bamboo products are initially more sensitive to molding. However, if you load an
ocean freight container with bamboo in a tropical environment where a long transport
time takes 30 days or more and ship to an environment where the temperature is
much cooler, the cargo may fall under the phenomenon known as “cargo sweat” or
“container rain". Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause condensation inside
the container, which causes spore growth and the appearance of mold (Schröder,
November 16, 2012).
The bamboo which people use in construction cannot be picked up correctly, or is
prone to improper handling, many people don’t use any treatment, so the construction
of their buildings can collapse in just a couple of years, because of that bamboo is still
considered as a poor man’s material. The countries that account for the majority of
bamboo are not sufficiently informed about professional treatment. Not all methods
that they use provide good results, this leads to the destruction of the construction of
bamboo. For protection it is worth using chemical preservatives, they provide good
protection even under adverse conditions (Schröder, November 30, 2014).
Chemicals can provide short-term and long-term protection. The selection of
chemicals as protection for bamboo must be made very carefully, as this can affect the
environment. Due to Schröder (November 13, 2012) there is non-fixed preservatives
and preservatives of the fixing type, they help to prevent the occurrence of termites
and mold and protects against the appearance of fungi.
Non-fixed type of protection consists of boron salts. Boron salts are added to
water, bamboo is soaked in this water, after the water evaporates and leaves the
salts inside the bamboo. This method is not toxic; it can be used for products that
contact with food. Another method of non-preservatives is Boric Acid and Borax its
commonly used methods of preserving bamboo and environmentally friendly. Boric
Acid Borax is dissolved in water, after it can be sprayed onto the material, bamboo
can be immersed or impregnated with this substance (Panday and Suneel 2007).
Preservatives of the fixing type, its type of protection consist of mixtures of
different salts in a certain quantitative ratio, when interacting with each other, they
become chemically fixed.
One of the preservatives methods is Copper-Chromium-Arsenic (CCA) provides
protection for 50 years or more, the use of such a composition is desirable in the
open air, since arsenic is a poison and a carcinogen, but the use in small quantities
does not affect human health. Another method is Copper-Chrome-Boron (CCB) it
