Product Description
Wykabor 40 is a glycol-based wood preservative formulation containing disodium octaborate. Designed for use by injection into larger dimension timbers to protect against wood boring insects and fungal decay.
It is particularly suited for use in damp/wet timbers in contact with masonry (e.g. joist ends, wall plates etc.) where the active ingredients can diffuse into ‘high risk’ areas.
Wykabor 40 is approved for use only by professional operators under The Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986.
Application

Holes of 10-12mm diameter should be drilled at intervals of 100mm along the grain and to within 15mm of the full depth of the timber (and otherwise as per the table below). Inject the Wykabor 40 to within c. 10mm of the face of the timber and seal with timber dowling or plastic plugs.
