DUAL ACTIVE HSE APPROVED FORMULAE
ERADICATES DRY ROT AND WOODWORM
FUNGICIDE / INSECTICIDE WOOD PRESERVATIVE
DESCRIPTION:
LANGLOW UNIVERSAL WOOD PRESERVER is an HSE approved, white spirit based dual- active fungicide / insecticide wood preservative, based on Propiconazole; IPBC Polyphase and Permethrin and supplied as a clear solution. The white spirit carrier solvent enables both actives to achieve deep penetration into most common sizes of structural timber. LANGLOW UNIVERSAL WOOD PRESERVER prevent the damage caused to timbers by Serpula Lacrymanns, (Dry rot fungus); Coniophora Puteana, (Wet rot version) and Permethrin is effective against common wood-boring insects such as Anobium Punctatum, all of which may attack un-treated timbers (interior / exterior) where there has been prolonged exposure to excessive moisture levels in a poorly ventilated environment.
PREPARATION:
Ensure all timbers are structurally sound, dry and free from surface coatings (internal) or growths of moss, lichen and algae (external). Care should be taken within the property to remove or isolate all potential sources of ignition and to protect all surrounding fabrics and materials, cables etc, which may be susceptible to damage by the solvent, including any plants and foliage from contact with the product during external application. To ensure adequate penetration, all timbers to be treated must have a moisture content (when tested by conductivity meter) to be no more than 22%. All fabrication work, i.e. planing, sawing & boring should be completed prior to treatment and any post treatment cutting should be followed by an additional preserver application. Children and pets should also be kept away from treated timbers until they are completely dry and free of any traces of product.
APPLICATION:
LANGLOW UNIVERSAL WOOD PRESERVER can be applied by brush, spray or dip methods using up to 3 consecutive coats to achieve deeper penetration and a darker colour shade where necessary. Use a broad bristled brush and apply evenly, soaking the timbers to refusal to achieve best results. Spray applications should be made with a coarse droplet spray nozzle held within 300mm of the treated timber at all times to limit wastage and reduce the risk of contaminating surrounding plants and structures. Full immersion application requires joinery to be submerged completely in the product for a minimum of 10 minutes to give sufficient protection for timber to claim “30 year protection”, providing it is to be installed above DPC level and receives a weatherproof protective top-coating. Always pay extra attention to ensuring exposed end-grain timbers are fully saturated. For timbers being set in the ground it is recommended to over-coat the submerged section with Bitumen Paint to protect against groundwater saturation.
COVERAGE:
Depending upon the texture and porosity of the timber to be treated, UNIVERSAL WOOD PRESERVER when applied as a single coat will cover at the rate of 1 litre per 4 to 6 square metres, either by brush or spray application method.
