Sasco Products Limited IMPEL ® (BORON) RODS II <strong>Wood</strong> Preservative for Remedial Treatment of Utility Poles Protection of <strong>Wood</strong> against Fungal Decay and Insects COMMERCIAL READ THE LABEL BEFORE USING KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED CAUTION POISON GUARANTEE: ANHYDROUS DISODIUM OCTABORATE (NA 2 B 8 O 13 )..... 98% Rod size: 12mm x 100mm Weight/Rod: 24 grams Number/Pkg: .......... Net contents: ..........Kg Number plastic or wood plugs/pkg: .......... REGISTRATION NO. 23398 PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ACT. Canadian Importer and Agent: WOOD-SLIMP GmbH SASCO PRODUCTS LTD. Ottoplatz 19 31 Ilsley Ave., CH-7001 Chur, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Switzerland Canada B3B 1L5 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II for Remedial treatment of Utility Pole Structures are recommended for protection of non-food contact wood, against decay and insects. IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II can be used for all kinds of wood species. IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II are not effective against all kinds of termites. The IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II are to be used inside in wood with a permanent or periodical moisture content above the fibre saturation point (30%) for Poles, etc. The rate of application for IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II is dependent upon the volume of wood to be treated. The recommended load is up to 6 kg of Boric Acid per cu. metre of wood depending upon requirements for treatment. The loading should not be less than 2 kg of Boric Acid per cu. metre of wood. IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II contain 1.45 times equivalent Boric Acid (BAE). For inserting the Rods, the three step process is as follows: 1. Drill 12.5mm holes to accommodate the rod size needed. 2. Insert the correct size and quantity of IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II needed into the pre-drilled holes (determined from area to be treated). 3. The holes are covered by caps (plugs). Never hammer the IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II during installation. By using plastic or wood caps it is possible to carry out inspections perhaps in conjunction with the regular maintenance maybe every 5-8 years. If the rods have dissolved, new IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II are inserted into the holes. The remedial treatment is carried out at positions particularly susceptible to decay such as around groundline or other sensitive positions. In placing of the IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II use caution not to cause structural damage to the wood. If the pole is condemned, do not treat with IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II. RECOMMENDED DRILLING PATTERN Groundline Spiral pole drilling geometry Note: Boring pattern selected shall comply with the Canadian Electrical Association Publication 118-D-318A, 1990, “Development of an Application Guide for the Use of Vapam” or if an alternative boring pattern is to be used, the applicator must receive written confirmation from the owner(s) of the pole stating that the selected boring pattern is acceptable and will not result in significant pole strength loss. Bore hole diameter shall not exceed 12.5mm when treating poles with IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II. Rates: Apply to achieve a loading of 6 kg of Boric Acid per m 3 of wood. An average per pole will be approximately 0.144kg of IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II. The distance between the IMPEL® (BORON) RODS II should be 20 - 25cm in the zone to be protected. PRECAUTIONS May be harmful, avoid contact with eyes and skin, avoid breathing dust, use only in a well ventilated area, wear freshly laundered clothes daily, store and wash all protective clothing separately from household laundry, wash clothes in detergent and hot water before reuse. May be fatal if swallowed. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Store in a dry location and out of contact with food and feed. Dispose of on-site empty containers in household garbage. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this product and before eating or smoking. Do not contaminate water courses or ground.

Do not apply directly to water or wetlands. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of waste. Apply this product only as specified on the label. SPILL AND CLEANUP Make sure all personnel involved in the spill cleanup follow good industrial hygiene practices. Any person entering either a significant spill area or an unknown concentration of a vapour or mist should use a positive pressure, air-supplied respirator with escape pack. Small spills can be handled routinely. Use adequate ventilation and/or wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved pesticide respirator to prevent inhalation exposure. Wear protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. Use the following procedures: Absorb spillage with an absorbent. Sweep up spilled material being careful not to create dust. Place sweepings in a chemical waste container for disposal. Generously cover contaminated area with a slurry of common powdered household laundry detergent and water.

Dispose of all wastes in accordance with instructions in the DISPOSAL statement. Large spills should be handled according to predetermined plan. PRODUCT INFORMATION GUARDSMAN POST & POLE FUMIGANT is a fumigant solution. When used as directed, it will arrest internal decay and control insects present in poles, pilings and similar large exterior timber members. During this sterilization of the treated area, a fungi-toxic residue is deposited in the cells of wood. Poles known to have internal decay should be scheduled for treatment before they have decayed to the point where replacement is necessary. PRODUCT LIMITATIONS: To be used only in the remedial treatment of utility poles, and piling, and outdoor construction timbers (bridges). TREATED WOOD LIMITATIONS: GUARDSMAN POST & POLE FUMIGANT should only be used for treatment of wood having NO opportunities for: 1. direct contact with, or becoming a deleterious component of drinking water; 2. use in residential construction, food/feed storage/production or animal housing and playground equipment; 3. prolonged skin contact. DIRECTIONS FOR USE APPLICATION METHOD When a pole is detected with rot or insect damage, dig the soil away from the base of the pole to a depth of 30 cm. Drill 15 mm holes in each quarter of the pole at ground line. These holes should be a 45 degrees angle downward and to a depth equal to or slightly greater than the radius of the pole. Inject equal amounts of Guardsman Post & Pole Fumigant into all holes using a total of 600 mL per pole. In severely diseased poles use 1.2 L per pole. Plug the holes with treated wood plugs, taking the precautions of wearing safety goggles to avoid splashing any of the liquid Guardsman Post & Pole Fumigant into the eyes. When the Guardsman Post & Pole Fumigant treatment is for the control of insects, the pole should be wrapped over the treated area with 120 cm laminated kraft paper. Staple and seal the seam and top edge with 2.5 cm masking tape. FOR THE CONTROL OF DECAY IN POLES. NO WRAPPINGS IS NECESSARY. Backfill and tamp the excavated area to form a seal against the kraft paper. The kraft paper should be removed and disposed of, when convenient, after 2 months.
