Boron Gel

Boron Gel is a unique gel which combines boron with the insecticidal properties of permethrin. The advantage of Boron Gel over conventional timber paste is Its deep penetrating properties, which allows the gel to treat damp timbers (where the death watch beetle is often present). Provided that treated surfaces are protected until dry there is no stipulated re-entry time.

Boron Rods

Boron Rods are cylindrical implants composed entirely of anhydrous boric oxide. They contain the maximum level of borate preservative available in rod form (1kg of Boron Rods yields 1.7kg boric acid when dissolved). It is used as a wood preservative to control wood rotting fungi ( wet rot, dry rot ) and wood boring beetles in new and existing structural and joinery timbers. The preservative is mobilised when exposed to dampness (wood moisture content greater than 35% w/w). Suitable for use in timbers already showing signs of decay. Also beneficial as a preventative treatment in sound dry timbers which may be exposed to moisture (e.g. window, door frames).

If you see any signs of wood rot in your home it is important to Contact a trained professional to assess the damage and type of wood rot in action.
