Boracol Wood Preservatives and Remedial Wood Preservatives
Sasco Products Limited
06 05 73 Wood Treatment
Boracol® liquid wood preservatives for structural timber come in three formulas. Whether the requirement is a strong fungicide or insecticide to kill attacks already in progress or just protection of new wood, one of these preservatives will meet them.
Boracol® 20-2 is a fungicide and insecticide strong enough to eradicate dry, wet and white rot, fungal attacks, and insect infestations in building materials.
Ingredients: Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate and monopropylene glycol.
Boracol® 20-2 BD is a fungicide and insecticide with added preventative mouldicide. Similar to the 20-2, it can eradicate or prevent fungal and insect attacks and has the added benefit of preventing mould on wood, stone, and other absorbent surfaces.
Ingredients: Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and monopropylene glycol.
Boracol® 10-2 BD is primarily a mouldicide, with fungicidal and insecticidal abilities. With twice the mouldicide as in 20-2 BD, it is highly effective in eradicating established mould, mildew, algae, and lichen on wood, stone, and other absorbent surfaces. It is also strong enough to prevent fungal and insect attacks in fresh wood.
Ingredients: Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and monopropylene glycol.
