Tips For Use

General Instructions:

Large Scale or Commercial Operations for Dip/Spray treatments of felled logs, poles, posts and sawn timber:

• Pounce 500 can be mixed with either diesel, light oil or water. Choice of carrier depends on anticipated exposure to Water. Total exposure requires diesel.  For timber under shelter, use light oil or water.
• Application in diesel will survive up to 3 months exposure in the open. Water and light oil applications should be protected, to achieve maximum effectiveness of up to 3 months.
• Agitate frequently and replenish dip as required.
• For remedial protection in situ timber may be treated by spraying. 

Plywood Manufacture

• Use with water.
• Production and handling of green veneers will vary site to site, hence a shallow dip bath for treating veneers must be constructed.
• Throughput rate and liquid uptake of veneers has to be established.
• Replacement of appropriately diluted product can be constant or periodic. 

Aircraft Disinsection
