antifungal agent?

Duncan · June 08, 2005, 05:49:43 PM

I have recieved an order that specified the use of an antifungal agent on beams. Does anyone have a product and or supplier and any experience in the application of the chemical would be helpful.

I have been hoping that there is some product that I can just put into the coolant lubrication tank and set the spray on continous to apply. Otherwise it my just have to be applied with a sprayer. Of course the first would be more efficient from a manpower point of view.

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi

We use a product called "Stay Brite" You can try a web search. If you can't find anything I will get thier address and Phone number off of the bucket when I go into work in the morning. Eddie came up with a great spray system to put it on with. On a small scale a garden sprayer would work fine.

We use a product called "Timbor" it is a borate compound made for treating wood. It is an anit-fungal as well as being effective against termites and powder post beatles. Fairly safe to use, but I don't put it in my lube tank. I just spray it with a garden sprayer while building the pile. Just do a search on the internet for it. There is probably someone close to you that sells it. A number of 'termite guys' around here use it to treat floor joists in crawl spaces.

You may try copper sulfate or have the beams pressure treated.

Duncan, I just sent a personal e-mail to the Timbor folks in Texas. I simply typed Timbor and a whole liteny of information showed. You might just do the same.
