A method for producing products for treating wood and other cellulose products to improve the flame retardancy, and the insecticidal and fungicidal properties of the products. A calcium borate ore, such as colemanite, is reacted first with an acid such as acetic acid. The reaction products, including calcium in solution, are then treated with ammonia, producing ammonium pentaborate. The resulting composition is applied to the wood or other cellulose products by methods such as pressure, diffusion, or immersion and/or dipping treatment. The products have superior leach resistance to water when compared to conventional treatment compounds.

1. A leach-resistant composition having flame retardant, insecticidal, and fungicidal properties, said composition derived from treating with ammonia the products of an initial reaction between a calcium-containing borate ore and an organic acid selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, formic acid, and mixtures of them, wherein the products of the initial reaction comprise boric acid as a first component and one or more soluble calcium compounds as a second component, to achieve a composition having a pH between 5 and 9. 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the calcium-containing borate ore comprises colemanite, ulexite, pandermite, danburite or datolite, or combinations of them.3. The composition of claim 2, wherein the calcium-containing borate ore comprises colemanite.4. The composition of claim 1, wherein said second component comprises a member selected from the group consisting of calcium acetate salts, calcium formate salts, and mixtures of them.5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the organic acid is acetic acid, and the second component is a calcium acetate salt.6. The composition of claim 1, wherein the reaction between the calcium-containing borate ore and the organic acid is substantially completed prior to the addition of ammonia, and wherein sufficient ammonia is added so that a reaction solution has a pH of 5.5-6.6.7. A composition prepared by reacting colemanite ore and an organic acid selected from the group consisting of acetic acid and formic acid to form a reaction mixture, and post-treatment of said reaction mixture with ammonia to achieve a pH between 5 and 9. 8. The composition of claim 7, wherein said pH is between 5.5 and 6.6.
