The EnvlroSafe Plus'" Solution

EnvlroSafe PluBrM wood presen"ative is a rctrolutionary patented technologr that combines a highf efrective, sa,fe and wideb used pesticide - DOT borates - with a proprieta"ry binding systen tlut fixatcs the borates within the wood for decades ofprotection against insects, rot and other forms ofbiolo$cal degndation. Envlrosaf€ Plusru contains no a,rsenic, no ammonia, no copper, no chmmium and no of,her heavy metals, which raise health, envircnmental and disposal concerns.

Conqorwttl: DUTBomta the active presenrathe ingredient in EnvlroSafe Plusrx is boron, an inorganic element tlut occurs naturally thmughout the world. Bomn has been ussd as a wood prcsem*i\re since the 1930s for prct€ction ageinst mt, fungus, mold, termites, carpenter ants, wood borers, mache, fleas, sihrcrffsh and other pests, The form of boron most commonly used for wood presenration is Disodium Octa,borate lbhalVdra.te @0|I). Bomn deriwtires are also widely wed in consumer products such as detergents, eyewash, adhesives and cosmetics, and are used industrial$ as cormsion inhibitors.

Borates are ha,rmlece to hunanq other mammalg and the envlronment In fact, they are an essential mineral for all rascula,r plants as well as an important component of human nutrition (WHO, 1996). However, boratespa,rticularf the DOI variety - are letial to insec{o and other pe*s. DOI does not protect by poisoning, but rather by interfering with insects' ability to metabolize food, and by causing enzymatic reactions with fungi rendering them unable to growor reproduce. In addition to their protection against imects and fungi, borates are also inherent[ fire retsrdalxt. Borates have the added benefit of being invisible when applied to wood producta for prcsenntion,

After decades of commercial use, la^rge$ in tfte U.S., Australia and New Zealand, the U.S, EPA has determined that boric acid and its salts (including D0[) show no evidence of carcinogenicity; do not break down into inefrective bproduets; and do not evapomie toaegatively affect indoor air quality, And, even though they are water soluble, they do not travel fa.r in the onvimnmentespecially in soil - re-crystallizing when the water evaporates. lb date, borates have been used e:densiltlyfor topical (surface-only) applications on wood, and increasingly for 'hhol+house treatment" in the westnrn U.S. and Hawaii.

Despite their many advantages, borates have historically sufrered from one m4jor drawback they are prone to rapid leaching from wood when e: osed to significant levels of moisture. and have therefore been unsuitable for exterior applications, until now...

Cbmponent II: Patpntptl ffrlbate Bhding SAsten lhe EnvlroSafe Plusru patented Silicate Binding System is the key to the pmduct's long-term efiecdvenees in exterior envimnments. During the pr€ssure treaftnent pmcess, the binder combines with DOI borates within the wood - causing "fr:ration" of the borates thmughout, and thercbyproviding high levels ofprotection from insects and decayfor decades. Numemus tests have been performed on EnvlroSafe Plusru treated wood to confirm the continued prcsence and performance of its DOI borates' even after being subjected to repeated and extended e&osure to rain, hot and cold temperature extremes, drying, W and infrarcd rqys and other outdoor conditions'

Silicates are non-toxic - having a toxiciff pmfle a,bout the same a.s regula,r glass. They a^re also used industrialb as conosion inhibitors.
