竹子在使用过程中的保护

竹子是一种优良的多用途材料。随着当前木材的日益短缺，其在建筑方面的用途也越来越广泛。由于竹子的自然抵抗力低，所以在使用过程中对其进行保护以防老化是至关重要的。优先选择的是非化学性的保护措施，但其效果往往有限。在使用防腐剂进行保护时，必须考虑到竹竿组织有限的渗透性、防腐剂的选择和处理方法，以及所产生的环境影响和经济方面的问题。

Protection of bamboo in service

Bamboo culms are an excellent material for countless applications. Their wider use for construction is encouraged by the growing scarcity of timber. Since bamboo has a low natural resistance, protection a-gainst biological degradation is of vital importance for long term service. Protective measures without chemicals are preferable , but often limited in their effectiveness. When using preservatives, the restricted permeability of culm tissue, choice of preservative and treatment method and environmental effects as well as economical aspects have to be considered.
