Bora-Care

Details

crp0030-bora-care

BORA-CARE is glycol-borate solution for wood treatment that provides long lasting protection.. 

BORA-CARE is directly applied to the wood and in return eliminates the wood as a food source. Water-soluble and contains glycol, which provides deeper penetration into the wood. By diffusing deep into wood fibers, BORA-CARE lasts for as long as wood is in service.

• Recommended for the remedial control of powder post beetles and as the product of choice for subterranean termites supported by  the efficacy data and field study applications at Mississippi State.

• Provides protection against Formosan termites, old house borers, and wood-destroying beetles

 

Coverage

• Is based on a 1 to 1 dilution ration (1 gallon diluted with 1 gallon of water makes 2 gallons of diluted product).
• The use of warm or hot water and an impeller type mixer used on an electric drill, aids in the dilution process.
• Use 1:1 solutions within 24 hours. Can be applied by brush, injection, spray or roller.
• For powderpost beetles, drywood termites and decay fungi the dilution ratio can be 5:1 (5 parts water to 1 part Bora-Care), use two applications when surface spraying (which is only used for preventative)

Application rates are calculated at a rate of 1 gallon of solution to 400 bf (board feet) of wood.

• 6"  logs = 167 lineal feet
• 8"  logs = 96  lineal feet
• 10" logs = 61 lineal feet
• 12" logs = 43 lineal feet

Note: For long term protection, exterior wood surfaces which have been treated with Bora-Care will require a top coating with a water resistant finish, paint or exterior stain.
Apply within six weeks of treatment.
Allow Bora-Care to cure a minimum of 2 days prior to any top coating...depending on the climate, this could be up to several weeks.
