Dear Mr. Suroto Munahar,
Bamboo material for speed boat body, resistant to termite and animal attacks.
The traditional way to preserve bamboo can be done by:
Control of cutting time, soaking bamboo in still or flowing water, smoking bamboo,
dipping with lime (CaOH2), roasting bamboo.
Modern preservation of bamboo is done by chemical use : Boron compounds, Zinc
Chloride/Copper Sulphate, NaPCP (Sodium Penta Chloro Phenate), CCA (Copper
Chrome Arsenic) and ACA (Ammoniacal Copper Arsenate), CCB (Copper Chromium
Boron), Carosete/Ter.
Water based preservatives : There are water-based bamboo preservatives that have
permanent properties such as CCB (Coper Chrome Boron) and non-permanent ones
such as Boron-Boric Acid.
