Boracol 200RH may be applied by brush flooding or spraying onto the surface of the timber to be treated. If the surface to be treated is very dry the penetration of Boracol 200RH will be enhanced by wetting (but not soaking) the surface with water prior to treatment.
Boracol 200RH can be applied immediately after the water has absorbed by the surface. This is always necessary when using the high rates of application on timbers with very dry surfaces. At high rates of application (remedial / insecticide) it may be necessary to apply via two coatings with 2 to 3 hours interval.
For the preventative or curative maintenance treatment of timber structures the preferred method of application is injection of Boracol 200RH into holes drilled into the wood. The size, number and location of holes are determined by a survey of the structure to be treated to ensure the correct amount of active ingredient is distributed into the timber to be protected. In order to achieve this optimum loading it is frequently necessary to re-fill the holes. After the holes are filled, they are sealed with a tamper-proof plastic plug, which can be removed at any future time for inspection or replenishment of the reservoir.
Boracol 200RH will absorb into the wood within 24 to 48 hours. Surfaces exposed to weather / rain are recommended to be sealed after application of Boracol 200RH with a water repellent, paint or other suitable surface sealant. Ensure the surface is dry before subsequent sealing.
Boracol 200 RH may also be used for the sterilisation of masonry / brickwork / concrete which has been in contact with decayed timber. The masonry / brickwork / concrete should be dampened down with water prior to application to ensure diffusion of Boracol 200RH into sub surface reservoirs.
Boracol 200RH can be applied by brush, roller, dipping or spraying.
