Borrada D has the exact same active ingredients and percentages as the popular Timbor, but less costly.

Borrada D is used for the preservation, protection and preventative treatment of wood against decay fungi and wood destroying insects and for remedial control of such pests in infested wood.

BORRADA D is recommended for the treatment of wood and cellulose materials when used in accordance with the specific treatment>

APPLICATION

Applications of BORRADA D water soluble borate powder can be made in powder form, as a solution, or as a foam.

Two applications of 10% solution or one application of 15% solution can be applied to wood surfaces by brush or spray. The solution can also be applied by drilling, and then, injecting under pressure into sound wood or the galleries of infested wood. As a foam, BORRADA D water soluble borate powder can be applied directly to wood surfaces or injected into insect galleries or wall voids. See directions for REMEDIAL AND PREVENTATIVE WOOD TREATMENTS and GENERAL INSECT CONTROL for detailed application instructions.

Preparation of Treatment Solutions

For 10% aqueous solution: Prepare solution by adding enough water to the tank to measure approximately 80% of the final volume of solution required. While agitating, gradually add 1.0 pound of BORRADA D per gallon of treatment solution required. Add remaining water and continue agitation until product is dissolved.

For 15% aqueous solution: Prepare solution as above, but gradually add 1.5 pounds of BORRADA D for each gallon of treatment solution required. NOTE: This concentrated solution should be used immediately after mixing and should not be stored. Equipment should be cleaned with soap and water, and rinsed after use.

For 15% foam: Prepare a 15% aqueous solution as directed above and add a surfactant/foaming agent. Typically 1 to 2 ounces of foaming agent added to the 15% aqueous solution will produce a dry foam with the desired expansion ratio of approximately 20 to 1 (approx. 20 gallons of foam per 1 gallon of aqueous solution). BORRADA D foam should be of a "dry" consistency that adheres to wood surfaces, so that runoff is minimized. Since each foam machine can produce different foams, refer to the equipment manufacturer manuals and the surfactant's label for specific instructions.

For the preservation, protection and preventative treatment of wood* against decay fungi and wood destroying insects and for remedial control of such pests in infested wood.

* Also for wood-foam composite structural components. (Coverage: up to 133 sq. ft. of wood surface, or about 333 linear ft. of crack and crevice spray per pound of product as 15% solution. See use instructions for specific application instructions.)
