APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Hi-Bor treated wood (including wood dust and wood chips) has the same general appearance and physical
properties as untreated wood. Wood dust consists of finely divided wood particles generated from sawing,
sanding, routing, or chipping solid dimensional lumber or other wood products. Wood chips are similar to
wood dust, but coarser. Treated and/or untreated wood product may have a slight scented odor.
