Multi Treatments Limited
Dry and Wet Rot Timber Treatment
ProBor wood preservatives are based on water-soluble borate, a timber preservative that has been extensively researched over the last 50 years. The products in the ProBor range are formulated for use against fungal decay (dry rot, wet rot) and wood-boring insects.
Borates have the distinct advantages of low mammalian toxicity, a low hazard to the environment and, unlike conventional preservatives, they exhibit superb penetration into damp timber. Hence they can be used in high-risk areas such as embedded joist ends, lintels, wall plates, etc...
Used and Specified by Professionals
The benefits of using ProBor products are well recognized by architects and those in the building restoration industry. They are often specified on high-profile, prestigious projects where re-treatment is not an option. In many situations, the high performance of ProBor products may allow original timbers to be retained that would otherwise have had to be replaced. This is obviously an advantage when treating historic buildings.
How are ProBor products different?
ProBor products are able to penetrate into the timber through the cell walls which allows them to move much more deeply
into the timber than conventional preservatives. This gives ProBor products an extensive performance advantage as no timber
preservative can start working until it comes into contact with the insects or fungi that it is designed to defend against.
The picture below demonstrates the penetration of ProBor DB into timber compared with a conventional preservative.
Environmentally Friendly
The use of boron-based timber preservatives is endorsed by the Association of Environment Conscious Building (AECB):
