BORON-BASED WOOD PRESERVING
ROD
|
| Description: |
ECO ROD is a solid diffusible boron-based
wood preserving rod for remedial and supplemental treatment that
protects the internal portion of treated wooden poles and timber
structures in service against fungal decay.
The ECO ROD is formulated to penetrate heartwood
and sapwood of timber by means of diffusion. Moisture levels over
20 percent in wood where the chemical rods have been inserted will
start the diffusion process. The treatment controls and provides
supplemental protection against internal fungal decay. The boron-based
active ingredient is safe to use, environmentally acceptable and
is an internationally recognised wood preservative.
