'Boron' is a generic term (more correctly used for the Element Boron) applied to a range of Boron Compounds known as Borates and sold under the names D.O.T., Timbor, Tim Bor and Borax, all made by the company U. S. Borax, of '20 Mule Team Train' fame.

WOOD PRESERVATIVE AND BIOCIDE SAFETY

Wear the correct safety equipment and keep unprotected people and animals out of the treated area for the statutory period given on the label.

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 treated surfaces: babies, young children, asthmatics, pregnant women or those vulnerable due to ill health.

PROPOSED BORON RECLASSIFICATION - ongoing action by Rio Tinto Borax

Borax are currently appealing against the European reclassification of some Borates. We will advise you when we have a definitive ruling for the UK from the UK Authority, the HSE. Many of our Products will be unaffected. If they are reclassified, a warning label will only indicate a hazard to pregnant women if they chose to eat a significant quantity of high concentration Borate, an unlikely risk in our Industry. Long term testing of Borate Miners' health shows no related health hazards.
