SAFETY MATTERS
Rio Tinto Borax Boron D.O.T.
based products versus the alternatives - Permethrin and Cypermethrin
based products:
1. True Borax Insecticide
Rio Tinto Borax manufacture
many chemicals based on the Element Boron, but only one is deemed suitable
and thus Licensed in the UK and Europe for use as an insecticide and
fungicide - D.O.T. These letters stand for its chemical name - Disodium
Octaborate Tetrahydrate - also know internationally as Polybor and Timbor.
Source - Rio
Tinto Borax
If someone offers you a much
cheaper product it is probably NOT genuine D.O.T. or it has been diluted
with other chemicals.
The most likely substitute
at low cost is called Disodium Tetraborate Decahydrate
- legitimately used as a component of Soap!
So, accept no substitutes
for 100% Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate - available in our Boron Ultra
12 products.

2. Toxin free 100%
Borax
Rio Tinto Borax supply Disodium
Octaborate Tetrahydrate as a pure white powder.
If someone offers you other
cheaper products they are most likely to contain Permethrin or Cypermethrin
- check the label.
Permethrin and Cypermethrin
are brain toxins and highly toxic, especially to cats and fish. They
kill all insects - good and bad. Boron Ultra 12 does not.

3. Natural woodworm
cure

Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, which in turn is refined from naturally
occurring Rasorite and the mineral Tincal.

If someone offers you other
types of woodworm treatment they are most likely to contain man made
Permethrin or Cypermethrin - check the label.
Permethrin and Cypermethrin
are synthetic Pyrethrums and highly toxic - especially to cats and fish.

4. Water based,
solvent free
Boron Ultra 12 is made from
Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, which naturally dissolves in water.
Other types of woodworm treatment
usually contain man made Permethrin or Cypermethrin - they do not dissolve
in water, so require 'emulsions' and 'micro emulsions' in order to be
used as water based woodworm treatments. These emulsifiers are additional
chemicals that can create unpleasant odours and have surprising side
effects.
For example, if you apply
an insecticide that uses a 'micro emulsion' in its formulation to modern
roofing lining fabrics the material will lose its water repellence,
allowing snow and rain to penetrate.
These additional chemicals
can also affect carpets and underlay - Boron Ultra 12 in water does
not. You can re-lay as soon as the surfaces are dry.
So, accept no substitutes
for 100% natural Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate without micro emulsion
- available in our Boron Ultra 12 products.

5. Kind to carpets
and pets
Boron Ultra 12 is made from
Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, which has no effect on carpets, underlay
or cushion floor.
Boron Ultra 12 gives off
no vapour, so is safe for animals as soon as it is dry.
Not so with woodworm treatments
which contain man made Permethrin or Cypermethrin - they give off a
vapour, both from the active ingredient and the emulsifiers.
Such chemicals are highly
toxic to some animals, particularly cats.

6. Lasts a lifetime
Boron Ultra 12 is made from
Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate then dissolved in water and once dried
into timbers indoors lasts indefinitely. Only prolonged immersion in
water can remove it.
Boron Ultra 12 gives off
no vapour, so it simply stays where you want it - in the wood.
Not so with woodworm treatments
which contain man made Permethrin or Cypermethrin - they give off a
vapour, both from the active ingredient and the emulsifiers.
So they gradually disappear
from the wood, with the vapour being present in your building until
the chemical has all gone.
So, accept no substitutes
for 100% natural Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate without micro emulsion
- available in our Boron Ultra 12 products.
