Library

The ABIS library is a collection of useful reference material relating to buildings and their problems as well as timber pests such as termites.

The library is a combination of material written by ABIS as a result of our own research and practical experience together with useful information gleaned from other authoritative sources.

 

Incompatible Materials

Incompatible Materials such as metals encourage corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when in electrical contact with a different type of metal. Ion migration occurs between the two metals causing one metal to corrode more quickly than it otherwise would; the corrosion of the second metal is retarded even to the point of stopping.
