Remarks
Checking for pinewood nematode, none found. The KD-19 lumber is heat treated at 170F (77C) for 5 hours, which is more stringent than the international requirements for lumber heat treatment of 56C for 30 minutes to control the nematode pest. The wood pallets were used to transport plastic resin to China.
