Product Information

Boron Rods

Stockcode:

ACS Boron Rods are fused glass-like, exceptionally concentrated, wood preservatives manufactured from inorganic borates. They have been developed to provide the maximum level of preservative (boric acid equivalents) available in the rod form. This provides a highly effective method for preventing fungal decay in both heartwood and sapwood of new and in-service timbers.

Timber in service is at a decay risk from wood rotting fungi when its moisture content regularly exceeds about 25%. In many cases the risk of decay is localised as the wood only becomes wet in certain places. This means the entire timber component is unnecessarily replaced, often at substantial cost even though the decay has been limited to where the wood was wet.

ACS Boron Rods are placed strategically in wood where it is at risk from becoming wet. They dissolve in the water in wet wood to release the preservative, which is then distributed within the wood by water movements. As water provides the primary condition for wood decay the ACS Boron Rods provide an exceptional and effective moisture controlled preservative system, which is located precisely where it is required.
