Introduction

The 'Ultra Boron Range' is a new concept in Timber Repair and Treatment. It provides a complete Kit for every situation where timber decay has resulted in Dry rot or other fungal decay and where the residual moisture content of the timber leaves the structure at risk.

Dry rot cannot survive and travel at a moisture content of less than 18% in timber. Elimination of the moisture source has always been the prime objective. The practical reality, especially with structures has been that immediate drying out to below the danger level cannot always be achieved before reinstatement.

This is the basis on which preservative treatments are justified. However, many such treatments are unnecessarily destructive and expensive because they rely on old techniques where cut back is a security for the Treatment Company and the Client.

The 'Ultra Boron Range' approach is different: cut back the minimum to reach structurally sound material and treat the adjacent areas with dual action Boron based preservatives.

These Boron based treatments can be supplemented with a localised preservative paint coating, to provide a NO-GO ZONE, over which Dry rot cannot travel to reach other untreated areas.

Surface Treatment

A unique powder concentrate, ready to dissolve in water, designed to treat timber by brush, spray or MicroBlower. It avoids the hazard problems of many liquid preservatives by using only water as a carrier. It can also be used in most situations to replace most other insecticides, including Permethrin.

Injected/Surface Treatment

A unique SUPER STRENGTH paste using a special blend of technical grade glycols as the carrier. It can be injected into timber, or spread on the concealed surfaces, 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.

Coating

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

Solid Rods

These solid rods 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 (8mm x 24mm and 8mm x 65mm).

Microblower

This unique machine not only replaces conventional spraying but also allows treatment of hidden cavities, voids and behind panelled areas. It can be used to apply BORON ULTRA 12, BORACOL 20, Micro Insecticides, Fungicides or Masonry Solutions. These products are available from Property Repair Systems.
