Advance Guard^® Borate Protected Wood is pressure treated with Tim-bor^® Industrial Wood Preservative, an inorganic boron-oxygen compound specifically formulated for application by pressure treating plants.

The active ingredient in Tim-bor^® Industrial Wood Preservative, Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), is:

• low in acute mammalian toxicity
• highly toxic to insects and fungi
• odourless
• colourless
• non-corrosive
• not susceptible to thermal or photochemical degradation

Tim-bor^® Industrial Wood Preservative is registered with Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency under the Pest Control Products Act (PCP Reg. No. 18879) and with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Reg. No. 1624-39). It meets Standard O80.0 of the Canadian Standards Association and Standard P-5 of the American Wood-Preservers' Association.

There is no potential for preservative depletion when Advance Guard^® Borate Pressure Treated Wood is used correctly. Protected from the weather under roofing, inside a wall system, or the interior of a structure, the treatment will not be adversely affected by changes in humidity.

Boron has been used in South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom for several decades and has a well known and proven record of performance. Field studies conducted by independent laboratories, universities and government testing facilities around the world, attest to boron's outstanding performance, broad spectrum of efficacy and low acute mammalian toxicity.
