The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preimpregnation ofthermally modified wood (TMW) with paraffin wax emulsion (WE), which was loadedwith disodium octoborate tetrahydrate (DOT). The improvements of physical,mechanical, and biological properties of WE DOT -TMW was in focus. Thethermal modification (TM) was conducted at 220°C for 4 h. The equilibriummoisture content (EMC), water absorption, volumetric swelling, bending strength,mold and termite resistance of WE DOT -TMW were determined. The boronleaching data were also determined, while the borate was analyzed by Inductivelycoupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), followed by the modelfitting according to a pseudo-second order differential model. The resultsindicate that WE DOT  improved water repellency, dimensional stability,bending strength as well as the mold and termite resistance ofWE DOT -TMW. The boron leaching of WE DOT -TMW was reducedcompared with DOT-TMW due to the hydrophobic effect of WE. The pseudo-secondorder differential model describes accurately the boron leaching process fromWE DOT -TMW.
