Remtox - Rooftek

For the eradication of wood boring insects both hardwoods and softwood to give protection
from fungal decay during the drying out of damp timbers or applied as a precaution against any future decay or infestation. The Remtox Microemulsion range of non-flammable concentrated wood preservatives represents the latest improvement in a long line of product development of "water-based" timber treatments.
Microemulsions, as their name implies, have a much smaller droplet size than emulsion products, which enables them to penetrate timbers more in the manner of solvents with reduced run-off and quicker drying.
When diluted they are virtually odourless and carry no EEC hazard classification symbols. Effective on damp wood, unlike solvents.

SPECIAL PROPERTIES
Penetrates wood like a solvent, so could be used on hardwoods,
as well as softwoods. Effective on damp wood, unlike solvents.

1 HOUR RE-ENTRY
Microemulsions MF9 has been cleared by the Health and Safety Remtox

Executive for re-entry purposes after 1 hour. This is a reduction of 48 hours over other wood preservatives and means that if surfaces are dry
householders and occupiers may re-use treated areas after 1 hour. For the builder it also means that following trades can re-enter areas that much sooner.

PREPARATION
Timbers to be treated should be clean and sound
and the source of any dampness permanently cured.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Being purely insect specific with no mammalian toxicity Flurox is inherently safe to humans, other mammals, fish and birds. Approved for use in Bat Roosts by English Nature.

WHY FLUROX
Flurox is a new generation of insecticide ideal for the wood preservation industry. Unlike conventional insecticides such as pyrethroids, which attack the central nervous system, Flurox has a fundamentally different mode of action.

HOW DOES FLUROX WORK
In technical terms Flurox is know as a Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) and, as such blocks the natural life of the insect at specific stages of development.
Flurox prevents the production of chitin, which is the hard outer skin of the insect, also known as the exoskeleton. During the larval stage of the entomological life cycle the larva moults numerous times as it grows.
Timber impregnated with Flurox will be ingested by the larvae and thus the moulting process is prevented. The vast majority of larvae will be eradicated during this process and although some adults may emerge they will not be able to re-infest the treated areas.

RR BORON (TIMBOR) RODS
Inorganic Timber Preservative Implants.
Timber Rods are 100% anhydrous Disodium octaborate. They are designed to be used as implants into vulnerable timbers, such as joist ends or lintels resting or imbedded in masonry or in timbers in ground contact, e.g. sole plates, ground cills, post or poles. Such timbers may be periodically or continually at or above fibre saturation point of around 28-30% moisture content. Under these conditions Boron Rods will diffuse rapidly and distribute preservatives into the surrounding timber. GUARANTEE
