AQUATECH are advanced wood preservatives supplied in water-soluble sachets which can be used to deal with all remedial timber treatment situations.

Based on the pyrethroid insecticide permethrin; for the prevention and eradication of Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) and other wood boring insects in building timbers. Permethrin's well known effectiveness as a remedial insecticide is enhanced even further by the special properties of our microemulsion system allowing optimum pesticide dosing (synergistic action).

FOR USE ONLY AS A WOOD PRESERVATIVE (professional use only).

Manufactured under a quality system, complying with BS EN ISO 9001 : 2000.

All bats are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Before treating any structure used by bats, consult English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, The Countrywide Council for Wales, or the Department of Environment for Northern Ireland.

Ensure that all timbers to be treated are adequately exposed and cleaned (vacuum cleaning preferred). Any paint or varnish finishes or any sapwood severely damaged edges of timbers ("frass") should be removed prior to treatment where possible.

Remove thermal insulation in roof spaces (or roll up and completely cover) and do not reinstate until the timbers are dry. Cover fitted insulation (lagging on pipes) with polythene and cover water storage tanks with heavy grade polythene to be left in-situ after treatment. Isolate electrical circuits in the treatment area during and for 8 hours after treatment and ensure that junction boxes, etc. are adequately protected against the ingress of the fluid. Remove or cover all foodstuffs before application as well as fish tanks / bowls. Do not use on beehives or beekeeping equipment or apply to surfaces on which food is prepared. Where applicable, notify occupants of adjoining properties before treatments commence.

Display Safety Notices conspicuously during treatment and leave on site after treatment for at least 8 hours. Use only flameproof portable lighting equipment and ensure that this and any other electrical equipment is in good order.

Wear suitable protective clothing (coveralls), synthetic rubber/PVC gloves when using, plus eye protection when diluting. To make the appropriate AQUATECH preservative solution (25 litres) mix the concentrates with water as follows:

Remove the outer polythene bag and add the sachet(s) of concentrate to 5 litres of clean water and shake. Allow to stand for 2-3 minutes and shake vigorously. Once the sachet(s) have ruptured (colour change in fluid) shake and add remaining clean water to make a total of 25 ltrs of solution and allow to stand for a further 5 minutes before use. Once made, ensure drums of diluted solution are properly labelled during use and in storage.

Diluted AQUATECH wood preservatives can be applied by brush or coarse spray (low pressure: 210-350 kPa, 30-50 lbs/in2) or by immersion (3-10 minutes) to achieve the coverages noted.

Where necessary, low pressure injection of AQUATECH preservatives can be achieved using timber injectors. During spray applications some respiratory protection will normally be required.

Provide adequate ventilation following treatments and maintain as long as possible after re-occupation.

FINISHING

As long as timbers are dry, re-occupation can normally take place 1 to 2 hours after treatments are completed. Floor coverings should not be laid for at least 48 hours (or longer for certain sensitive floor materials, e.g. foam-backed carpet etc.) In all cases, use lining papers to protect coverings from direct contact with timbers. Treated timbers can be overcoated when dry with a range of decorative / protective paints etc., if required. With certain water base coatings, to ensure compatibility, check a small area first.
