"Temper"? Do you perhaps mean "timber"?
In any event, there are lots of chemicals that can be used to help preserve wood. They're generally toxins of some sort that inhibit the growth of decay bacteria and/or make the wood repellent or toxic to larger organisms like insects, though just sealing the wood away from moisture and oxygen can help quite a bit (this is the basic function of laquers, paints, and varnishes).
There are three basic reasons to treat wood with chemicals: to inhibit decay, to prevent insects from eating it, and to make it flame-retardant.
No. Rotting wood is part of a ex-living thing. The bacteria and/or fungi in it, that are causing the deterioration, are living things though.
The decay of organic matter such as leaves is a chemical change.
The most effective wood treatment chemicals for preserving and protecting wooden structures are typically those that contain copper-based compounds, such as copper azole or copper naphthenate, as well as borate-based treatments. These chemicals help prevent decay and insect damage, extending the lifespan of the wood.
Fluoride is the halogen used to prevent tooth decay. It strengthens tooth enamel and helps to protect against acid erosion and cavities.
To prevent wood from rotting, you can apply a wood preservative or sealant to protect it from moisture and decay. Additionally, keeping the wood dry and well-ventilated, and avoiding direct contact with the ground can help prevent rot.
decay
To stop something from rotting we preserve it. Preservation means to stop from rotting.
Some chemicals added to prevent tooth decay are: sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride phosphate, etc.
There are three basic reasons to treat wood with chemicals: to inhibit decay, to prevent insects from eating it, and to make it flame-retardant.
To slow down fruit from rotting, store it in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. Keep fruits separate from each other to prevent the spread of mold or bacteria. Make sure to remove any spoiled or overripe fruit to prevent further decay.
When a potato begins to decay is is time to discard it. Signs of decay include mold, discoloration, rotting etc.
There are several types of decay that can occur in materials, including physical decay (such as wear and tear), chemical decay (such as rusting or corrosion), and biological decay (such as rotting or decomposition).
I think a refrigerator, slows down the process of food rotting as the microorganisms take more time to cause chemical reactions in cold weather.
The wood siding is rotting at the bottom due to prolonged exposure to moisture, which can lead to decay and fungal growth in the wood.
Decay helps in the ecosystem by rotting in the gorund and turning into fertilize for the animals and it also tuns into plants trees and ext.
The decay of biomass means that biomass which is wood or litter is slowly decaying meaning that it is falling to pieces and slowly rotting away.
