In some contexts, especially in Australia, H2 treatments which also use boron (but with a higher retention level and sometimes in combination with other chemicals) are often used as a standard for internal framing. However, for H1, boron is the core chemical used to protect against borers. | In some contexts, especially in Australia, H2 treatments which also use boron (but with a higher retention level and sometimes in combination with other chemicals) are often used as a standard for internal framing.
