At Platinum Chemicals, we offer a wide range of Boracol and Ecobor products, designed to provide top-tier preservation for timber and masonry. These treatments are widely trusted by professionals for their exceptional ability to protect against wood-boring insects, fungal decay, and organic growth.

Whether you're dealing with woodworm, dry rot, or algae on masonry, Boracol products provide a highly effective solution. With over 15 years of experience in supplying these products, we ensure that both professional contractors and tradesmen can rely on these treatments for long-lasting results. All Boracol treatments comply with strict HSE regulations, ensuring they meet the highest safety and performance standards.

Versatility of Boracol Products in Wood and Masonry Preservation

The Boracol and Ecobor range of products use boron-based formulations, well-known for their effectiveness in treating woodworm and fungi such as dry rot and wet rot. Products like ACS Boracol 5Rh are specifically designed for treating teak decks, while also being suitable for protecting wood and masonry against mould, algae, and organic growth. ACS Boracol 10 offers versatile woodworm and rot treatment that works on both timber and masonry, making it a perfect solution for projects involving both materials. This boron-based liquid ensures deep penetration, offering long-lasting protection from decay and insect attack.

For those looking for more targeted treatment, the Ecobor range provides advanced gel and paste formulations. ACS Ecobor 20 Gel, with its easy brushable and injectable application, ensures high efficacy in protecting timber from wood-boring insects and wood-rotting fungi in areas such as joist ends, wall plates, and rafter ends. Its gel consistency ensures that the treatment clings to the timber surface, providing in-depth coverage without surface residue. On the other hand, ACS Ecobor 40 Boron Paste is designed for deeper penetration into larger dimension timbers, offering robust protection in wet or dry conditions, especially in damp timbers in contact with masonry.

How Boracol Treatments Work Across Different Surfaces

One of the major benefits of Boracol products is their flexibility and adaptability for both preventative and curative applications. These treatments are ideal for timber surfaces exposed to moisture or vulnerable to woodworm and decay, but they also play an important role in protecting masonry. Boracol 10, for example, not only works as a wood preservative but is also effective at removing and preventing the growth of mould, algae, and moss on masonry surfaces. Its low-odour, non-flammable formula makes it safe and easy to use, while its deep penetration ensures thorough protection across both wood and masonry surfaces.

Similarly, the Ecobor range’s innovative gel and paste formulations provide long-term protection without compromising the appearance of the treated wood. Ecobor 20 Gel and Ecobor 40 Boron Paste are particularly suited for high-risk timber areas, where they can be injected or brushed on for deep penetration, ensuring long-lasting protection against woodworm, wet rot, and dry rot. These treatments ensure the active boron-based ingredients reach deep into the wood structure, creating a barrier that protects both surface and internal timber from decay and pests.

Combining Boracol Products for Enhanced Results

A significant advantage of the Boracol range is the ability to combine different products for enhanced protection. For example, ACS Boracol 10 can be used in conjunction with ACS Ecobor 40 Boron Paste for deep treatment of timber, especially in areas where dampness or structural decay is a concern. The liquid Boracol ensures widespread surface protection, while the Ecobor Paste penetrates deeply into larger timbers to combat more advanced decay or infestation. This comprehensive approach ensures that both surface-level and deep-rooted threats to timber are eradicated.

Each Boracol and Ecobor product has been meticulously developed to meet the diverse needs of timber and masonry preservation, making them essential for contractors dealing with both preventative measures and active infestations. Their low toxicity, non-staining, and odourless properties ensure ease of use and minimal disruption, while their deep penetrating action provides confidence in the longevity of the protection they offer.

Comprehensive Protection with Boracol and Ecobor

In conclusion, Boracol and Ecobor products represent the gold standard in wood and masonry preservation. With their deep-penetrating boron-based formulas, these treatments effectively combat wood-boring insects, fungal decay, and organic growth. Whether you need surface protection or a more intensive treatment for larger timbers, these products offer versatile solutions to suit a variety of applications.

At Platinum Chemicals, we ensure that the full range of Boracol and Ecobor products is available to meet the needs of professionals and contractors, providing long-lasting, effective results for both timber and masonry surfaces.
