Go to Price List and Order Form now For unpainted, unvarnished, bare wood, by brush or using the syringe provided A unique Boron based Gel in glycol, designed to treat timber by brush or by injection. It avoids the hazard problems of many liquid preservatives by using only glycol as a carrier. By brush, apply as one thin coat, allowed to soak in and then wipe to remove any excess with a wet cloth. If injected, apply to each insect hole to refusal and wipe off all excess with a damp cloth or paper. Option - this product can be purchased as part of the Furniture Treatment Kit	Brushing Boron Ultra Gel
2. Injection using Mini Brass Sprayer with Flight Hole Nozzle	No smell or vapour.

This allows you to inject individual holes with a drop of Boron Ultra liquid, a low hazard, zero odour, zero vapour treatment. Wipe off all excess fluid with a damp cloth or paper, to avoid affecting polished surfaces.

What does the enemy look like?

Hole size - 1mm to 2mm in diameter.

Life Cycle - Common furniture beetle, Anobium Punctatum, has a 5 year life cycle, but the adult only lives for a few weeks and cuts the hole you see in order to exit and find a mate. Eggs are laid onto the timber surface or in old holes. The baby grubs bore back in and the cycle repeats.

OTHER NON- FURNITURE TREATMENT SITUATIONS

BORON GEL, PASTE, RODS - treatment to kill Woodworm and Dry Rot attack deep inside timber

1. BORON ULTRA GEL 20 - Surface Applied Gel

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 78 - Deep Injected Treatment

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 to act as a reservoir

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 - Coating

A special 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.

Benefits of Borate based products

* no odour

* non-flammable (actually retards flame spread)

* does not evaporate (stays in the timber or masonry, unlike some other chemicals)

* low mammalian toxicity

* world-wide safety reputation

* kills insects and rots

* 1 hour re-entry time for all three uses of liquids

How to treat Dry Rot
1. Remove the source of moisture, ventilate, control humidity 2. Cut out the decay to sound timber/plaster, if structurally beyond repair 3. Apply Boron Ultra 12 powder in water by spray to timber and masonry, brush on Boron Ultra Gel to end grain and vulnerable surfaces, inject Boron Ultra Paste and insert Boron Ultra Rods to 8-10mm holes drilled to prescribed hole pattern, to surrounding areas at least 300mm in all directions from the limits of the attack and to all timbers at or above 18% moisture content. Go to Price List and Order Form now Boron Ultra Paste injected into a lintol, awaiting plugs
Example
Telegraph and Electricity Poles - these are susceptible to rot after the creosote treatment has diminished, especially in the ground zone, where splits and shakes allow moisture and air into the core. Boron Ultra Paste and Boron Ultra Rods are used in combination to prevent further decay and extend the working life of the poles. Telegraph Pole being drilled to receive Boron Rods and Paste

How to treat Wet Rot
1. Remove the source of moisture, ventilate, control humidity 2. Cut out the decay to sound timber, where structurally weakened beyond repair 3. Apply Boron Ultra Gel to end grain and vulnerable surfaces, Boron Ultra Paste and Boron Ultra Rods to 8-10mm holes drilled to prescribed hole pattern in timbers at or above 18% moisture content. The Log House, wet rot
Example
The Log House, near Lymington - wet rot decay had destroyed a large number of logs on the weather side of this £1.5 million + home, facing Southampton Water. Boron Ultra Paste and Boron Rods were installed in the remaining sound logs to provide long term protection. The Log House, wet rot being dug out

How to treat Woodworm
