BORON GEL, PASTE, RODS - treatment to kill and prevent insect and Dry Rot attack

 

1. BORON ULTRA GEL 20 - Surface Applied Gel - no odour

A 20% active clear Gel ideal for end grain and bearing area treatment of beams and joists. Also useful for medium to heavy active infestations of insect attack and treatment of new timbers for use in vulnerable areas (e.g. skirting boards).

2. BORON ULTRA PASTE - Deep Injected Treatment - no odour

A unique SUPER STRENGTH paste using a special blend of technical grade glycols as carriers. It can be injected into timber, with the advantage of supplying a highly concentrated mobile preservative which will spread even at low moisture content levels. Simple to apply with a standard skeleton gun; more effective to use because of the higher available level of active content, which allows the use of smaller (8mm, rather than 10mm) and/or fewer drill holes.

3. BORON RODS - Solid Rods for placing in holes as a reservoir - no odour

These solid rods of HIGH STRENGTH Boron 173 are used to protect timbers which are constantly or occasionally damp: external joinery, wall plates, embedded beam ends, posts etc. They can also be used in conjunction with BORON ULTRA 78 paste, to act as a long term reservoir (Standard Sizes - 8mm x 24mm and 8mm x 65mm).

4. DRY ROT PAINT - Special Emulsion Coating - low odour (non Boron)

A specially treated preservative biocidal emulsion paint designed to prevent the surface spread of Dry rot. Ideal for timber and masonry in the treatment of adjacent areas, to provide visual lasting evidence of treatment. It prevents surface spread of strands and mycelium.

Some Site photographs showing how Dry Rot can spread - often in hidden places below or between floors.
