Describes tests with neoprene, polyvinyl acetate, epoxy,
urea formaldehyde, and casein adhesives. Data are given on
adhesion to wood at different moisture contents, different
wood species (Fitzroya cupressoides, Nothofagus dombeyi,

Particleboards prepared in the Valdivia laboratory were
treated with the insecticides ‘Basileum SI,’ ‘Basileum SPI,’
‘Xyligen CE 5046 TF,’ or ‘Xyligen CE 5021 TF’ (3 treat-
ments each). The boards were then evaluated for tensile
strength perpendicular to surface, bending strength, and
swelling. Tensile strength was reduced, bending strength in-
creased, and swelling was generally unchanged. The treat-
ments were effective against the dry wood termite Kaloter-
mes chilensis.
