Directions For Use

General

In order to be effective TWA NO ROT GEL Injection Grade needs to be applied at a minimum rate of 7-9 kg/m. High density timbers (eg. Australian APPLICATION hardwoods) generally require a higher loading than lower density timbers (ie -Radiata Pine, Oregon). Application Equipment No-Rot GEL Injection Grade is a thick but flowable gel. Therefore a light trowel, stiff brush or cartridge gun are the suitable tools for application. Commercially available grease or dispensing pumps are ideal for larger scale operations ie pole or post treatments.

External Timber treatment

Scrape away all decayed wood, roughen the surface, and apply sufficient NO-ROT GEL Injection Grade to produce a desired minimum loading. This is typically a 1-2mm thick coat. If the timber surface is dry then enhance dilution by wetting the surface prior to application. Cover the treated surfaces with plastic wrap (kitchen cling wrap is ideal) to prevent the product drying out and for protection from rain. Absorption will generally
take 2-3 weeks.

Internal Timber Treatment

For structural timbers drill sufficient 12mm holes to produce a desired minimum loading in the affected area. Drill holes as deep as possible without going closer than 25mm to the opposite surface. Fill holes with TWA NO ROT GEL Injection Grade and plug with timber dowel. For pole and pile groundline treatment drill 16mm holes at an angle of 70 to the horizontal commencing 10cm above the groundline directed below the soil and 5cm off the poles centre. for poles up to 30cm in diameter drill four holes to a depth of 45cm. For poles greater than 30cm in diameter drill five holes to a depth of 50cm. Fill holes with TWA NO ROT GEL Injection Grade and plug. Plugs should be inserted carefully to avoid the product being forced back onto the face or into eyes. Refer to worked examples overleaf.

After treatment

In exposed situations it is strongly recommended that the timber is coated with suitable exterior quality paint. This will prevent premature leaching and loss of the TWA NO-ROT GEL Injection Grade’s active Ingredients. In situations where over painting is not possible flashing or other physical protection from water will maximise the benefit of the treatment.

Reapplication

Where it is not possible to arrange additional protection for exposed timbers, reapplication may be required in 2-3 years. For Internal treatment of large timbers such as poles this will more typically be 3-5 years. When protected or sheltered from water and leaching the treatment will last for 5-10 years or possibly longer depending on the site conditions.
