[Title] => Technique to remove bamboo covering developed
[Summary] => Ever heard of cutin?
It is the wavy substance found on the surface of bamboo branches and twigs. It inhibits the adhesion of finishing materials.
Those involved in the bamboocraft industry usually exert much effort in manually scraping the hard covering of bamboo branches.
But thanks to a scientific headway achieved by researcher Josefina G. Palisoc of the Los Baños-based -DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), cutin can now be conveniently removed by applying a chemical called disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT).
