Borate will leach out only while wood is exposed to flowing liquid water and the moisture content is above fibre saturation (averages around 27% moisture content, although this number varies depending on wood species). This can occur when the wood has extended contact with rainwater or very heavy condensation. Moist air, even at 100% relative humidity, does not cause loss of borate.
