Safe Treatment
Oil solvent products are very much on the wane. In the majority most
companies now use water based products. The so called 'micro emulsions'
for timber treatment are insecticide/fungicide encapsulated in a minute
globule of solvent suspended in water. The evaporation is therefore
extremely small and is therefore non hazardous to health and is non flammable.
We were one of the first companies to use these products in the UK
and we found that as well as the safety aspect, they can be touch dry
within a few hours and re-entry allowed to the property within eight hours.
Sovaq which has been recently introduced by Sovereign has even less toxicity.
