ECOBOR ULTRA GEL 20 - Surface Applied Gel A

and treatment of new timbers for use in vulnerable areas (e.g. skirting boards). How

Boron
Ultra Gel in three sizes - 500cc, 1 litre and 2 litres - no odour, easy to brush.
2.
BORON ULTRA 78 - Deep Injected Treatment A
unique 5% - 40% 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.

spread of Dry rot. Ideal for timber and masonry in the treatment of adjacent areas,

strands and mycelium.
Benefits
of Borax Boron based treatments *
Boron has a world-wide safety reputation - 5% products still require no hazard
warnings * Borates have
ultra low toxicity - about the same as Table Salt *
Boron based preservative kills only wood boring insects - not spiders, birds or
bats * Boron has no odour
- leaves no smell * Borax
does not evaporate - stays in the wood *
Boron Ultra 12 has a 1 hour re-entry time - the lowest for any insecticide *
Borons are non-flammable - they actually act as Flame Retardants

WOOD
PRESERVATIVE AND BIOCIDE SAFETY Use
Wood Preservatives and Biocides safely. Always read the label and product information
Data Sheet before use. Wear
the correct safety equipment and keep unprotected people and animals out of the
treated area for the statutory period given on the label, or until surfaces are
dry, which ever is the longer. All
products have some hazards and the COSHH Regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous
to Health) apply to ALL building repair and construction products that we sell,
even Cement. If in doubt
consult us for free technical help. Take care not to contaminate soil, waterways
or the environment with the product or the waste and packaging. These can be returned
to us for disposal. Avoid
using any type of chemical in your home if any of the following are likely to
come into contact with the spray or treated surfaces: animals, fish, birds, babies,
young children, asthmatics, pregnant women or those vulnerable due to ill health. On-going
European reclassification of Pesticides has resulted in our Borax product having
to carry a warning label (for the first time since 1890) on all products used
at over 5.5% BAE concentration. This label is a warning that if you eat the product
and then became pregnant you might give birth to a slightly underweight baby,
or, if you are a male, suffer a slight reduction in the size of your testes. The
tests, on rats, required them to eat the human equivalent of 18 level teaspoons
full of Borate (DOT) per day for 2 years. We believe that you are unlikely to
do this and the lack of any other negative evidence, despite the severe European
Review process, suggests that this product is very safe indeed. Woodworm
treatment products do not need to even reach the 5% concentration level to be
effective, so are not subject to any additional labelling, because of their unblemished
safety record. See our
Technical section for more information.
