For structural bamboo preservation under IS 9096, the recommended preservatives include Coal Tar Creosote (a 50:50 mixture with fuel oil complying with IS 218), Copper-Chrome-Arsenic (CCA) with a component ratio of CuSO4 : As2O3 : Na2Cr2O7 at 3:1:4 (per IS 10013 Part 2), Copper-Chrome-Boron (CCB) following a 1.5:3:4 ratio (per IS 10013 Part 3), Boric Acid-Borax mixtures effective against lyctus borers, and Copper-Zinc salts of naphthenic or abietic acids. Treatment methods vary and include brushing, dipping, vacuum/pressure impregnation, hot and cold cycles, fast fluctuating pressure, and the Boucherie process.
Green bamboo, due to its permeable membranes, responds well to treatments like vacuum/pressure impregnation, the Boucherie process, diffusion, and fast fluctuating pressure techniques, allowing deep preservative penetration and enhanced durability. In contrast, dry bamboo has impermeable surfaces that limit preservative absorption, making surface applications like brushing or dipping less effective and generally not recommended for structural preservation.
IS 9096 specifies that bamboo in direct contact with the ground requires higher preservative concentrations and absorption levels—typically between 8 to 14 kg/m³—due to increased risk of decay and insect attack, using methods such as hot and cold vacuum/pressure treatments or the Boucherie process. Bamboo used in sheltered or covered environments needs lower preservative uptake, generally around 4 to 6 kg/m³, with treatments including hot dipping, steeping, or vacuum/pressure processes to provide adequate protection.
Typical preservative concentrations and absorption rates under IS 9096 vary by use: Copper-Chrome-Boron (CCB) is applied with absorption approximately 6-8 kg/m³ for structural bamboo; Copper-Chrome-Arsenic (CCA) concentrations range to achieve 8-10 kg/m³ absorption for heavy-duty applications; Coal Tar Creosote mixed 50:50 with fuel oil is absorbed at about 10-15 kg/m³ for outdoor uses. Treatment via vacuum/pressure methods generally achieves higher absorption compared to surface treatments.
IS 9096 mandates cutting representative treated bamboo samples weighing roughly 100 grams per 100 kilograms of bamboo for chemical analysis. These samples should be prepared into chips or powder (approximately 10 mm x 2 mm x 1 mm) and thoroughly mixed before testing. Chemical analysis is conducted to confirm preservative retention meets the specified values, following rounding guidelines per IS 2:1960. Sampling and testing ensure adherence to preservative specifications and treatment efficacy.
